The role works closely with TechDev scientists, Data Science, IT/platform teams, Quality, and other stakeholders to deliver impactful, supportable solutions that improve scientific workflows across biologics and small molecule development. Early focus areas may include ELN and lab platform expansion, lab digitalization, materials/sample management, workflow automation, and the integration of computational capabilities into day-to-day scientific work.

Work with lab and data scientists, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to understand current scientific workflows, define future-state processes, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, consistency, data quality, and user experience. Embed AI, data science, modeling, automation, and other computational approaches into digital workflows where they improve scientific work, usability, or data-driven ways of working. Translate scientific and operational needs into clear solution artifacts, including process flows, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, data/integration requirements, and UAT plans. Maintain the roadmap and prioritized backlog for assigned digital solutions, balancing organizational impact, user value, scientific rigor, timelines, risk, and technical complexity.
