The rules for governing AI don’t exist yet. You’ll write them.

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the centre of a large-scale data and AI transformation and define how unstructured data, AI and agentic workflows are governed across a global pharmaceutical company.

Not a compliance role.

Not a maintenance role.

This is about setting direction where there is no playbook.

Your work will shape how data is used across research, manufacturing, quality, commercial, human pharma and animal health – enabling faster innovation, better decisions, and real-world impact at scale.

If you’re excited by AI, influence and building something that hasn’t been done before, this is worth a look.

What you will do:

• Define enterprise governance models for unstructured data, AI and emerging technologies
• Shape what “good” looks like for data products in an AI-first environment
• Influence how R&D, manufacturing, quality and commercial teams use data globally
• Coach and lead Product Owners, Architects and Engineers
• Challenge assumptions, set direction, and help write the future operating model for data

What makes this different:

• Greenfield challenge – you’re not inheriting legacy governance frameworks, you’re creating new ones
• Enterprise influence – your decisions impact multiple business units and disciplines
• True leadership role – autonomy to take inventory, form opinions and drive strategy
• Purpose-driven work – your frameworks will accelerate drug discovery, improve clinical trials and help get treatments to patients faster

What you will need:

• Strong background in enterprise data management, data governance or data strategy
• Experience working with modern data platforms and complex data ecosystems
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead through ambiguity
• A strategic mindset with the confidence to challenge, shape and define direction
• Experience in regulated environments, AI, or unstructured data is a strong plus

Why this role:

• Strong background in enterprise data management, data governance or data strategy
• Experience working with modern data platforms and complex data ecosystems
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead through ambiguity
• A strategic mindset with the confidence to challenge, shape and define direction
• Experience in regulated environments, AI, or unstructured data is a strong plus

Why apply:

Because opportunities to define how AI is governed at a global scale are extremely rare.

Because this is leadership, not maintenance.

Because your work will actually matter.
