Oslo, Oslo County, Norway CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) Full time

Launched in 2017, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) is an international coalition of governments, academic, philanthropic, private, public, and intergovernmental institutions whose vision is to create a world in which epidemics and pandemics are no longer a threat to humanity. Our mission is to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats so they can be accessible to all people in need.

CEPI played a central role in the global response to COVID-19, creating the world's largest portfolio of COVID-19 vaccines – seven of which are approved for global or domestic use - and co-leading COVAX, the global initiative to support equitable access which supported the delivery of over 2bn vaccine doses globally.

In CEPI we strive for diverse thinking, and we want a diverse pool of candidates for all our vacancies. We work for an inclusive working environment where each employee can contribute and grow.

About the role

As a Senior IT Architect, you will be a senior member of the Digital & Technology department, with the opportunity to liaise with multiple stakeholders and decision makers across the organization. You will be responsible for reviewing, managing and implementing the Enterprise Architecture Roadmap for CEPI, including the full life cycle of software implementation and integration with 3rd party solutions.

The role will involve using advanced theoretical and practical knowledge to provide and receive highly complex and sensitive information on technical matters including:

  • Organisational architecture
  • Business architecture
  • Applications architecture
  • Technological architecture

Data governance and information management must align with established standards for data quality, architecture, and security. This alignment is critical for achieving value-driven objectives through effective analytics and reporting. Ensuring compliance with Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and IT Service Management (ITSM) frameworks is vital to maintaining data integrity and security throughout the system design and solutioning process.

The role will be responsible for planning and organizing the technical aspects of the Infrastructure Project(s), which includes developing business cases, preparing procurement documents, drafting project agreements, and overseeing the competitive dialogue process. Additionally, the role will lead the planning and execution of the relevant CEPI technical workstream(s).

The position will report on the work program and deliverables to the Portfolio and Architecture Committee, collaborating closely with department heads, the Chief Operating Officer (COO), and the executive leadership team to align with and drive key strategic business goals. The ideal candidate will be passionate about technology, digitalization, and innovation.

This role reports into the Head of AI, Data & Analytics and would also closely collaborate with the Head of IT Strategy, Governance and Security.

A strong focus will be placed on the synergy between cybersecurity and data governance, which is essential for ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data within the organization. Cybersecurity protects data from unauthorized access and cyber threats, while data governance ensures that data is properly managed, utilized, and protected in a consistent and compliant manner.

The postholder will also engage in regular negotiations with senior CEPI professionals, directors, and managers, particularly within a financially constrained healthcare environment. These discussions will address key issues that impact service quality and performance, requiring the ability to challenge existing practices and management processes effectively.

  • Ensure compliance with Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) and IT Service Management (ITSM) concepts, maintaining the integrity and security of data during solutioning & design of systems.
  • Demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of DevOps practices, facilitating continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) to enhance operational efficiency and agility.
  • Engage in Partner/ Vendor management and participate in discussions of solution, progress and milestones.
