This role owns the engineering build accountability for the Medical Affairs Digital and AI portfolio. This role leads the team that turns solution architecture and product requirements into shipped, production-grade AI systems at enterprise scale. It carries direct people-leadership accountability for a build team of three Build Engineers and a Data Integration Engineer, and hands-on technical accountability for engineering standards, delivery velocity, and production reliability across Medical Affairs globally.
This is a peer role to the Senior Director, Solution Architecture and the Senior Director, Product Management — and works closely together with these peers to deliver enterprise scale solutions -- product management defines what gets built and why, architecture defines how a solution is built and engineering builds and ships it. This role drives engineering standards, build quality, and delivery discipline that ensures reliability and speed for every AI system deployed to production.
The Senior Director operates with significant technical and managerial autonomy, translating architecture blueprints and product roadmaps into committed delivery plans, and is accountable for realistic delivery commitments, production reliability, and engineering risk — including the technical debt, security, and compliance consequences of build decisions.
The Senior Director, Engineering leads and builds the engineering organization responsible for constructing, integrating, and shipping Medical Affairs' AI-powered products and platforms. This is a hands-on technical leadership role owning software engineering practice, data integration execution, CI/CD and LLMOps/MLOps discipline, and production reliability for the portfolio of Medical Affairs Tier 1 Agentic AI and LLM-based systems. Reporting into the lead of Medical AI Acceleration and Delivery and partnering with peer Senior Directors of Solution Architecture and Product Management, this leader turns architecture and product intent into working, tested, deployed software — while building, coaching, and retaining an engineering team capable of operating at enterprise AI scale.
Candidate demonstrates a breadth of diverse leadership experiences and capabilities including: the ability to influence and collaborate with peers, develop and coach others, oversee and guide the work of other colleagues to achieve meaningful outcomes and create business impact.
