Pharma Domain & Business Solutions Leader (Medical Affairs) - Data & AI (1244)

Role Purpose

This role exists to hardwire deep pharma business context into Data & AI solutions.

The Pharma Domain & Business Solutions Leader will serve as the business conscience and narrative architect of the Client Solution Studio—ensuring that every data platform, AI model, and horizontal capability is grounded in real-world pharma workflows, decisions, and outcomes.

This is a hands-on leadership role. The individual is expected to shape solution vision, actively co-create offerings with data science and engineering teams, influence revenue, and remain personally billable through domain advisory, solution architect, or delivery leadership roles.

In short: elevate the business relevance of our Data & AI solutions—and the teams that build them.

• Establish and maintain personal billability through advisory, solution leadership, or delivery roles.

4. Business Storytelling & Executive Narratives

• Craft compelling business-oriented narratives that connect data, AI, and outcomes.
• Translate complex analytics and AI constructs into clear executive stories focused on impact, trade-offs, and decisions.

• Demonstrated experience working at the intersection of business, data, and analytics / AI.
• Prior experience in consulting, solution roles, or product-led organizations strongly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

• Horizontal Data & AI capabilities become clearly differentiated business solutions.

• The Data & AI team demonstrates stronger business orientation and domain fluency.
• The role holder is billable, credible, and sought after by clients and internal teams alike.

Final, candid note

This role is for someone who enjoys connecting dots, not protecting silos. If you prefer clean swim lanes, this will feel uncomfortable. If you enjoy shaping the “why” while rolling up your sleeves on the “how,” this role will feel like home.
