Formación

• PhD or MSc in life sciences, chemistry, computational or data science, engineering.
• Experience in biotech, pharma, CRO or similar science-driven environment.
• Experience partnering with drug discovery platform functions such as DMPK, ADME/Tox, safety, screening, or omics.
• Evidence of in silico or AI solutions delivered into routine use, not only into pilot.
• Experience working across multiple countries and sites in an international matrix.
• Fluent business English; an additional European language is an advantage.
• Willingness to travel occasionally between Evotec sites and to partner meetings.

Responsabilidades

• Own the end-to-end relationship between the Drug Discovery Platforms segment and the In Silico & AI function globally, acting as the single accountable front door for all incoming demand so that work is scoped and staffed once, not duplicated across teams.
• Shape and own the in silico and AI roadmap for the platform business, with particular focus on ADMET/Safety and in vitro predictive safety (NAMs) and omics data generation, one of the three capabilities Evotec is industrializing as a differentiator.
• Capture, structure and prioritize demand from platform leadership, translating scientific and operational needs into clear, testable requirements together with Solution Managers, the AI Accelerator and Solutions & Data.
• Orchestrate the in silico contribution across Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Therapeutics Design, AI Accelerator and Solutions & Data, ensuring alignment, delivery quality and timely execution.
• Partner with the omics data generation platforms to turn generated data into governed, reusable data assets that compound across projects, in close collaboration with IT&Data.
• Drive adoption at scale, moving in silico and AI capability out of pilot and into routine platform operation in place of repeated proofs of concept.
• Provide structured input to segment and portfolio level prioritization, including demand visibility, cross unit dependencies, resourcing needs, investment cases and expected value.
• Contribute the in silico content to client proposals and bids where platform services are in scope, working with Commercial, Business Development and Global Portfolio Management on differentiation and pricing.
• Track and evidence the value delivered, including margin uplift on in silico influenced work, cycle time and de-risking impact, and in silico attributed revenue, feeding this back into prioritization.
• Serve as moderator and escalation point for conflicting priorities, with support from the In Silico function heads.
• Represent In Silico & AI in platform leadership forums and act as a change agent for new ways of working across a global, multi site organization.
