Role Responsibilities:

- Prioritize initiatives based on value, feasibility, and strategic alignment; distinguish commoditized use cases from high-leverage opportunities unique to the organization.

- Create and curate Agent Skills libraries, workflow templates, and context architectures optimized for Medical Affairs applications.
- Configure AI solutions with therapeutic area content, scientific terminology, and compliance/regulatory constraints.
- Enable Medical Affairs subject-matter experts to contribute to and customize Agent Skills while maintaining quality and governance.
- Serve as the primary liaison between Medical Affairs and IT for AI initiatives, translating business needs into technical requirements and vice versa.
- Develop technical specifications and architecture documentation to enable IT to scope, implement, support, and monitor solutions effectively.
- Build cross-functional partnerships (Technology, Legal, Compliance, Privacy, Procurement, Data) and proactively remove bottlenecks (approval paths, data governance, security concerns, vendor evaluation).
