• Keep program execution aligned with external commitments and the realities of the internal roadmap.

What We Need To See:

• Master's or equivalent experience in life sciences technology, computational biology, engineering, computer science, or related domain.

• 8+ years in pharma R&D technology, AI platforms, computational biology programs, or adjacent life science technical environments.

• 5+ years leading large multi-functional programs with external strategic partners.

• Proven track record delivering complex AI programs in regulated or high-stakes enterprise settings.

• Strong proficiency in AI platform lifecycle: data, models, inference, infrastructure, and compute governance.

• Operational excellence in planning, sequencing, issue resolution, and customer alignment.

• Excellent executive interpersonal skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:

• Prior ownership of AI transformation programs in pharma with measurable outcomes.

• Track record in building and sustaining joint operating models with external partners.

• Experience managing compute prioritisation and usage governance tied to achievements.

• Familiarity with the NVIDIA AI stack and the BioNeMo ecosystem.
