About the role

  • Define and communicate the AI transformation vision for Medical Affairs, aligned with enterprise AI strategy and function-specific needs

  • 5+ years of Medical Affairs experience (HQ or Field) with hands-on exposure to Medical Affairs, and/or in software development for large, regulated enterprises

  • Proven track record of partnering with IT, Legal, Compliance, and other enterprise stakeholders to deliver solutions in governed environments
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to translate between technical and business audiences
Benefits
