The Medical Affairs AI Lead is the strategic architect and technical product owner for AI transformation across HQ Medical Affairs and Field Medical. This role defines the AI vision and roadmap, identifies and prioritizes high-impact use cases, builds rapid prototypes to prove value, and develops reusable Medical Affairs specific Agent Skills and context architectures. The AI Lead translates complex AI capabilities into practical solutions, creates technical specifications and architecture documentation for scalable implementation, and partners across Technology, Legal, Compliance, Privacy, Procurement, and Data teams to remove friction and accelerate delivery. ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES - Define and communicate the AI transformation vision for Medical Affairs, aligned with enterprise AI strategy and function-specific needs. Identify high-impact AI use cases across HQ Medical (e.g., Medical Strategy, Publications, Medical Information, Competitive Intelligence) and Field Medical (e.g., Field Medical operations, congress management, advisory boards, ISS/ II - Rs). Prioritize initiatives based on value, feasibility, and strategic alignment, distinguishing commoditized use cases from high-leverage opportunities unique to the organization. Stay current on emerging AI capabilities (e.g., context engineering, agentic workflows, integration standards such as MCP) and translate them into actionable opportunities. Build functional prototypes and proofs-of-concept (POCs) that allow stakeholders to experience value before full-scale investment. Develop and maintain Medical Affairs specific Agent Skills: reusable instruction sets, templates, and domain knowledge packages deployable across multiple workflows. 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 for their needs 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 that 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).
