Full job description
We'rebuilding a connected, end-to-end Enterprise AI engine - uniting data foundations, AI technology, process reinvention, and business-facing AI to accelerate results across the whole value chain. Success depends on being exceptional connectors:you'llactivelyleverageexisting capabilities, celebrate and promote reuse, export breakthrough ideas across geographies and functions, and obsess over scaling impact rather than building in isolation. If you thrive in high-collaboration environments where your role is to turn complex, cross-functional problems into reusable, enterprise-wide capabilities - and where the measure of success is adoption and scale, not just innovation - you'll have the platform (and sponsorship) to make it real.
Our DS&AI Products team is the OBU's in-house engine for that work. We lead all aspects of the full lifecycle of AI-powered applications spanning predictive field triggers, patient-identification models, omnichannel next-best-action, KOL intelligence, and GenAI-powered field tools — and we ship products, not reports. Every capability we build must deliver measurable field adoption and commercial impact.
We are hiring a Director, DS&AI Products who will lead a multi-indication AI product portfolio end-to-end, serve as the strategic DS&AI business partner to OBU brand and medical leadership, and lead the responsible design, delivery, adoption, and impact measurement of AI solutions that drive commercial lift and better patient outcomes.
Role overview
This is a product ownership and program strategy role — notan analyticsconsulting role. You lead the full AI product lifecycle: problem definition, customer research, product requirements, AI development partnership, UX design alignment, deployment, change management, and post-launch impact measurement. You are the product owner and strategist for the AI capabilities powering Sales, Marketing, and Medical Affairs across your assigned OBU tumor areas, and the liaison US Oncology and the broader AstraZeneca Enterprise AI organization for customer engagement capability building.
You will be equally comfortable writing a product requirements document, reviewing a GenAI architecture with an engineering lead, running a discovery session with brand managers, delivering the AI transformation narrative to field salesleadershipand presenting a capability roadmap to the Senior Leadership Teams. You will bring a platform-centric, reuse-first mindset: every solution you ship should be architected for scalability and accelerated deployment across indications - so a trigger framework proven in one tumor area becomes the template for the next launch.
Key responsibilities
1. Program Strategy & AI Roadmap Ownership
Own the strategy and transformation roadmap for Sales, Marketing, and Medical Affairs AI capabilities across your assigned OBU tumor-area portfolio,being responsible forplanning and budget management processes in alignment withOBUannual cycle.

Maintain a prioritized product backlog with well-defined user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery timelines; balance the portfolio across housekeeping (maintenance/refresh), innovation (new AI capability pilots), and new-indication onboarding in an agile operating model.
Track industry, market, and innovation shifts — GenAI, agentic AI, oncology data science, competitor AI strategies — toanticipateopportunities and risks and keep the roadmap forward-looking.
Champion a platform-centric, reuse-first architecture philosophy: design AI capabilities that pilot in oneindicationand scale across OBUs without re-platforming.
2. GenAI & Agentic AI Product Development
Lead the definition, design, and delivery of GenAI-powered applications for OBU commercial and medical teams: AI-assisted field briefing tools (InsightIQ), clinical evidence summarization for MSLs, agentic omnichannel workflows (Engagement IQ), and natural-language interfaces toAZBrainanalytics.

Maintain solid understanding of the evolving GenAI / agentic AI landscape — prompt engineering, RAG architectures, multi-agent orchestration, evals — and critically evaluate architecture choices against OBU field workflow requirements.
Apply rigorous pilot-and-scalemethodology: define pilot scope and success criteria upfront, measure output quality and user adoption, and drive evidence-based scaling decisions to other indications and OBU functions.
3. DS&AI Business Partnership — Brand, Medical & Access
DS&AI business partner and product owner for assigned tumor-area brand teams, Medical Affairs, and Market Access — attending strategy reviews, launches, and leadership committee meetings as the AI expert at the table.
Lead cross-functional discovery workshops that reveal unmet decision needs. Develop well-scoped AI use cases using detailed problem descriptions, success metrics, data requirements, and risk tiers. Convert the results into actionable user stories for engineering teams.
Partner with MSL and medical leadership on scientific use cases: treatment-pathway analytics, KOL/KEE influence mapping (Cami constellation), diagnostics/biomarker testingstrategiesand health equity analytics.
Own and govern demand-sensing and care-gap workstreams feeding FSIP, forecasting, and field strategy plans; present roadmap and field impact at leadership team meetings, national sales meetings, andSteerCoforums.

Drive AI literacy across brand, medical, and field teams through capability reviews, lunch-and-learns, and executive presentations; build self-service fluency with AZ AI platforms.
5. Execution Excellence & Delivery Accountability
Ensureaccurateandtimelytranslation of business needs into technical requirements. Partner with the AI division passionate about enterprise solutions in data science and engineering. Establish clear RACI andmaintainalignment on priorities, dependencies, and timelines across the full delivery model.
Drive launch-critical AI results on time: pre-launch analytics, ML-enriched targeting lists, EHR/claims/lab-signal predictive triggers per AIDLC framework.
Supervise progress and surface interdependencies across the product portfolio; creatively address key challenges and blockers and escalate to senior leadership with clear problem framing and proposed solutions.
Manage external vendors and consulting partners against defined deliverables and timelines; support budget management and PMO invoicing.

Lead or co-lead data-source evaluations; articulate granularity caveats and preprocessing requirements to both technical and business audiences.
Design and implement the OBU predictive ML trigger ecosystem for earlier patient identification across indications, with reusable frameworks that scale across tumor areas.
Drive precision-medicine and earlier-patient-identification strategies: design AI trigger frameworks that detect high-risk patients upstream of clinical decision points, reducing diagnostic and treatment lag.
7. AI Governance, Compliance & Data Stewardship
Operate within AstraZeneca's enterprise AI governance framework: registry-before-scale, model and data cards, human-in-the-loop oversight, ongoing monitoring, and IT approval processes.
Navigate compliance requirements, data access controls, HIPAA privacy guardrails, and vendor management for all OBU AI use cases; ensure all products are deployed responsibly withappropriate documentation.
Partner with OBEX, FSIP, Legal, Privacy, and I&A to ensure AI-ready data assets (enriched claims, EHR, MMIT) are compliant, auditable, and operationalized with standardized QA and refresh cadences.
Maintain auditable AIDLC; govern UAT → compliance approval → release gates with scenario-based stakeholder demonstrations and documented acceptance criteria.
8. Impact Measurement & Value Tracking
Define success criteria and KPIs before launch; supervise adoption metrics (apputilization, trigger execution rate, noise reduction, coverage), output quality, and downstream business impact (sales lift, patient-identification speed, care-gap closure) post-launch.
Lead causal-impact assessments to quantify commercial lift attributable to triggers and AI applications; use findings to guide cross-OBU collaboration and investment decisions.
Communicate results to OBU and enterprise leadership with clarity — translating product performance data into business impact narratives that reinforce AI investment decisions andadvisefuture roadmap prioritization.
