About The Role

The Value Architect is the analytical engine of the Reinvention Force.

Together they ensure every reinvention decision is grounded in data and every milestone connects back to measurable business impact.

The Work

• Define value KPIs for each transformation program and ensure teams apply business process standards from the Process Blueprint Lead
• Build the value identification framework mapping each reinvention initiative to specific, quantified business outcomes (FTE capacity, cost, revenue, cycle time)
• Develop and maintain financial models covering investment, value, timeline, and risk — keeping them current as engagements evolve
• Produce value realization reports tracking actual outcomes against the business case and surfacing early signals of delivery success or risk
• Support preparation of C-suite and Board-level materials translating quantitative analysis into clear executive narrative

• You have supported business development and are ready to take on more.
• You bring intellectual curiosity, drive, and a genuine interest in how AI is transforming the Life Sciences industry.

Candidates must have at least 5 years of combined experience in the following areas:

• Financial modeling, value case development, or business case analysis at a top-tier consulting firm, corporate finance function, or in-industry strategy role, with demonstrated ability to build and defend complex investment cases.
• A proven track record developing and presenting financial models — including DCF, NPV, sensitivity analysis, and scenario modeling — to senior leadership and C-suite stakeholders.
• Experience quantifying the business impact of technology or AI investments, translating technical capabilities into P&L impact with appropriate rigor.
• Strong data literacy and ability to produce clear, executive-ready analytical narrative from complex quantitative work.
• Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary teams including consultants, technologists, and change practitioners.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as client and business needs require.
