The R&D Data, Data Science and AI organization is seeking a Director, Data Science to lead a team of applied data scientists, machine learning scientists, and GenAI/agentic engineers who turn TDS’s scientific and operational data into AI- and data-science-driven workflows. You will own the design, build, validation, and delivery of the solutions behind TDS’s digital roadmap, from model-informed process design and lab-in-the-loop workflows to scientific reasoning agents and dynamic document generation. Success is measured in delivering durable, reusable capabilities rather than delivered pilots, and in how far data science scales beyond your own team into TDS. Leading 5+ individual contributors, you will build on AI-ready data products and semantic layers and partner with scientists, SMEs, DDSAI, and J&J Technology to move solutions from pilots to governed production-level products. This leader is expected to drive outcomes through a combination of hands-on technical work, delegation and influence.
