- Ensure each data product has defined ownership, classification, access, and lineage, aligned with the organization's data governance framework
- Ensure data products are production-ready and operationally viable, not just analytically correct
- Drive adoption within operational workflows by measuring usage, gathering feedback, and iterating to ensure sustained value
- Apply an AI-first mindset, identifying opportunities to augment workflows and defining the data required to enable them
- Maintain a living product backlog with each item traceable to a business outcome and a data readiness state
- Partner with engineering teams to ensure appropriate testing, monitoring, and lifecycle management of delivered products
- Cook up dependencies and communicate tradeoffs clearly across data engineering, platform, analytics, and business teams
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences, Data Science, or a related field
- 4+ years of experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, or other regulated industries, with exposure to CMC domains
- 6+ years of experience defining and delivering data, analytics, reporting, or digital solutions used in production workflows
- Familiarity with modern data concepts including data modeling, data quality, and cloud-based data platforms
- Strong understanding of pharmaceutical systems and relevant data domains (e.g., Veeva, SAP, MES, LIMS)
- Proven ability to translate business needs into clear, structured requirements that engineering teams can build from without extended clarification cycles
- Demonstrated ability to produce written specifications, use case definitions, or data product briefs that serve as the primary handoff to builders
- Experience working across business and technical stakeholders, with the ability to drive alignment and communicate tradeoffs
- Understanding of GxP, data integrity, and compliance considerations for data, analytics, and AI solutions
Qualifications
- Direct experience with Veeva Quality, LabVantage, Syncade, or similar MES and LIMS platforms and their data structures
- Experience with dbt, Redshift, Snowflake, or similar transformation and warehouse tooling
- Experience with medallion data architecture patterns
- Experience with GitHub-based workflows, docs-as-code practices, or version-controlled specification management
- Track record of driving adoption of data products beyond initial delivery into sustained operational use
- Curiosity about or experience with agentic AI workflows, including how data products, specifications, and operational knowledge can be structured to be consumed and acted on by AI agents, not just human analysts
- Familiarity with AI/ML use case evaluation, including RAG pipelines, LLM application design, or predictive model prerequisites
- Background in GxP validation readiness for data systems and analytics platforms
