Executive Director, Head of Strategy & Transformation

About the role

Regenerons Global Technology, Engineering, Operations & Application Managed Services (GTEO) runs the technology behind our research, manufacturing, and commercial operations and the $15B+ revenue pipeline they drive. As the company has grown across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, our technology investments and modernization work have grown with it and so has the need to lead all of it as one coherent program rather than a set of separate efforts. Security and AI now run through everything we build, and the strategy must treat them as built-in from the start, not bolted on later. We are creating this role to do exactly that: put one senior leader in charge of where GTEO is headed, what we invest in, and how we transform the estate to support the next phase of the companys growth. The Executive Director, Head of GTEO Strategy & Transformation owns strategy, planning, design, and transformation for the GTEO organization. You will assist in setting the multi-year direction and the standards that guide it, own the investment portfolio and the budget for the function, and lead the major transformation programs through to results. You set the direction and govern the portfolio; the delivery teams continue to execute the projects. You will report to the Global Head of GTEO and be a lead voice on technology strategy and transformation for the organization with senior leaders inside and outside Regeneron.
