Shape the Future of AI-Driven Pharmaceutical Product Development (PD) In our pharmaceutical product development team at Bristol Myers Squibb in Hyderabad, we are focusing on building advanced and emerging GenAI, data science and engineering, and modelling approaches addressing complex challenges across chemical process development, biologics development, drug product development, and analytical development. We are looking for an experienced professional (scientific manager - individual contributor) focused on advanced GenAI and data science capabilities, ideally with prior domain understanding and context of pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing.  We seek talent who can critically challenge assumptions, frame the right questions, navigate ambiguity, and partner with AI to solve complex scientific problems related to pharmaceutical development. This exciting opportunity sits at the intersection of science, technology, and innovation to help shape pharmaceutical development and build an environment where human expertise and AI work together to accelerate innovation, enhance productivity in pharmaceutical development, and help bring more robust and high-quality medicines to our patients faster.

Partner with senior scientific functional leaders and scientists across Chemical Process Development, Biologics Development, Drug Product Development, and Analytical Development to identify opportunities where AI and GenAI can create transformative business impact. Drive development of next-generation capabilities spanning GenAI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery, and Decision Intelligence. Establish best practices for critical thinking, problem framing, and AI-enabled decision making. Influence enterprise modelling strategy and investments across Product Development. Mentor data scientists and AI practitioners in the team and build a culture that balances technical excellence with curiosity, courage, and collaboration. Translate emerging GenAI capabilities into scalable products that generate measurable business outcomes and value. What Makes You Successful You understand that the most valuable skill in the era of AI is not model building, but problem framing, and critically probing problem statements, AI output, and assumptions.  You should be comfortable with: Challenging assumptions before accepting requirements. Asking first-principles questions. Navigating ambiguity and shaping incomplete ideas into meaningful next steps through collaboration with PD functions. Building trust across technical and non-technical stakeholder groups. Communicating complex concepts with clarity and executive presence. Inspiring teams through influence rather than authority.

Advanced degree in Data Science, Chemical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline. 7+ years of experience in Data Science, AI/ML, GenAI, and Digital Innovation.
