This role leads the identification, design, and delivery of AI-enabled digital solutions that improve operational performance across the site.

Digital Process Improvement

Identify opportunities to simplify and digitize workflows. Support technology-enabled process improvements alongside CI Specialists and Improvers, and recommend and implement continuous-improvement initiatives.

Strategy & AI Readiness

Advise site leadership on AI-appropriate applications. Develop roadmaps that integrate emerging technologies into manufacturing operations, and recommend investments that strengthen AI and long-term digital performance.

Site Consultation & Project Intake

Partner with business functions to identify digital improvement needs. Guide project scoping, feasibility assessment, and technology selection, and ensure initiatives follow the site's standard project intake and governance process.

Site Enablement & Training

Deliver awareness sessions and training that build digital and AI capability across colleagues. Support upskilling initiatives aligned with the site's Digital Workforce framework.

AI Governance & Responsible Adoption

Ensure all solutions comply with corporate governance, security, validation, and responsible-AI requirements, including guardrails against hallucination and bias. Promote appropriate use of AI across the site and document governance decisions.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
