Full Job Description
About the role:

The Process Blueprint Lead owns the methodology and standards for how processes are redesigned across all transformation programs. This role is the primary design thinker for the engagement - mapping how work gets done today, designing the future-state human + AI operating model, and ensuring every reinvention initiative builds to a consistent, high-quality blueprint. This role sits at the intersection of business design and AI enablement.

You are:

A strategic leader and trusted advisor with deep Life Sciences expertise. You are a structured problem solver with extensive consulting and industry experience. You communicate clearly and credibly with C-suite executives. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and know how to lead a team while staying close to the work. You have driven business development and built lasting client relationships. You bring energy, resilience, and a genuine passion for building something new.

The work:

  • Own the methodology and standards for designing human + AI processes across all transformation workstreams, ensuring every pod follows a consistent approach before any technology is built
  • Lead current-state process assessments across the engagement scope - understanding how work actually gets done, where friction exists, and what the data shows about productivity and capacity gaps
  • Design the future-state operating model including human + AI process flows, role definition changes, and governance structures
  • Facilitate cross-functional alignment workshops with client's functional leaders, driving to clear design decisions without losing rigor
  • Own the Process Blueprint as the primary deliverable that defines the reinvented operating model and foundations for all execution workstreams
  • Partner with Value Architects and AI & Data Innovators to ensure blueprints map to quantified value and are technically executable


Candidates must have at least 8 years of combined experience in the following areas:

  • Enterprise process redesign or operating model transformation at a top-tier consulting firm or leading Life Sciences organization, with demonstrated experience designing future-state operating models - not just documenting what exists.
  • A proven track record facilitating senior stakeholder workshops and driving alignment across functional leaders with competing priorities on large-scale transformation programs.
  • Experience designing human + AI process flows, governance structures, and ways of working for enterprise transformation programs.
  • Strong understanding of how agentic AI, automation, and AI-enabled workflows are reshaping Life Sciences functional operations (commercial, Life Sciences enterprise, regulatory, manufacturing, or supply chain).
  • Experience working across cross-functional teams including technologists, data engineers, and change practitioners.
    • Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as client and business needs require.


Preferred skills:
  • MBA or advanced degree in a relevant discipline.
  • Hands-on experience using AI prototyping tools (e.g., Claude, GPT-4, or equivalent) to model future-state workflows before technology build commences.
  • Certification in process design, Lean Six Sigma, process mining (Celonis or equivalent), or design thinking.
  • Track record developing process methodology frameworks or reusable transformation assets at a top-tier consulting firm.
  • Experience operating across multiple Life Sciences functional areas and geographies.
