We are looking for a Data Domain Product Lead who is strategic, collaborative, and outcome-oriented to join us in our Patient Evidence team, based in Anderlecht, Belgium; or Slough, United Kingdom.

About the role

You will own and maximize the business value of a strategic data domain, ensuring its data is governed, reusable, connected, and fit for business, analytics, and artificial intelligence use cases. You will define the domain vision, priorities, roadmap, and adoption strategy with business, data, architecture, and technology partners.

You will collaborate with business process owners, domain experts, data strategy and architecture colleagues, data governance teams, digital technology teams, and enterprise architecture. Together, you will align priorities, translate business needs into scalable data capabilities, support adoption and reuse, and ensure investments deliver measurable outcomes across global business functions.

What you'll do

Define and maintain the vision, strategy, roadmap, outcomes, and success measures for the assigned data domain.

Prioritize capabilities and investments according to business value, risk, strategic objectives, and measurable outcomes.

Drive adoption and reuse across functions, reducing duplication and increasing the enterprise value of domain data.

Establish clear business ownership, accountability, and decision rights, while supporting data quality, governance, and compliant use.

Align domain concepts with enterprise standards and promote consistent business meaning across teams, processes, and use cases.

Build alignment across business, technology, analytics, and data teams, facilitating prioritization decisions and communicating progress to leaders.

Identify analytics and artificial intelligence opportunities and ensure data products are discoverable, accessible, reusable, and ready for advanced use.

Track adoption, value realization, data quality, accessibility, and business impact to guide continuous improvement.

Interested? For this role we're looking for the following education, experience and skills

Bachelor's degree in business, data, analytics, life sciences, information management, or a related field; an advanced degree is preferred.

Significant experience in data products, data management, business ownership, or product management roles.

Five to seven years of experience in the relevant data domain.

Experience translating business strategy into data and digital capabilities that deliver measurable value.

Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and aligning diverse stakeholders in a complex, collaborative organization.

Understanding of data governance, data quality, information about data, shared business meaning, and interoperability concepts.

Experience with analytics, artificial intelligence, or digital transformation initiatives; pharmaceutical, healthcare, or life sciences experience is preferred.

Strong product mindset, stakeholder influence, strategic thinking, accountability, and ability to make pragmatic decisions in ambiguous situations.

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.
