You will challenge conventional approaches, establish clear data governance and accountability, and ensure our teams have access to reliable, actionable insights when they need them. With a builder's mindset and a bias for action, you will identify opportunities to leverage analytics, automation, and AI to elevate customer engagement, strengthen commercial performance, and ultimately help us deliver more for patients.

- Advance commercial data readiness to support emerging AI capabilities.
- Partner with business, analytics, product, and technology teams to identify high-value opportunities, define the data and business context required, and develop reusable capabilities that scale across commercial functions rather than isolated solutions.

- Experience establishing data governance, ownership, quality standards, and operating processes that improve trust in and use of data.
