Requirements

• 15+ years of experience in clinical research, drug development, or health technology, including a minimum of 3–5 years with a specific focus on AI strategy, digital innovation, or data science applied to clinical development; or a combination of education and experience.
• Demonstrable track record of developing and scaling AI or digital use cases with pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO organisations — with clear evidence of commercial impact.
• Experience working across the full drug development lifecycle — early-phase design through late-phase, post-market, and regulatory submission.
• Familiarity with decentralised and hybrid trial models and eClinical technologies including EDC, ePRO, eConsent, CTMS, and RTSM, sufficient to engage meaningfully with technical counterparts on AI deployment contexts.
• Understanding of agentic AI architectures, LLM-based reasoning, and human-in-the-loop frameworks at a conceptual and strategic level.
• Strong conceptual grasp of AI/ML capabilities relevant to clinical research sufficient to define credible use cases and engage technical teams.
• Strong commercial acumen: ability to frame AI use cases in terms of trial cost reduction, timeline compression, data quality improvement, enrolment acceleration, and regulatory risk mitigation.
• Outstanding facilitation and executive engagement skills — comfortable leading strategic discussions with C-suite and VP-level stakeholders at global pharmaceutical and biotech companies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including white paper authorship, conference presentation, and external advisory contribution.
• Collaborative working style with the credibility to influence product, engineering, and commercial teams without direct authority.
• Analytical and data-driven mindset: able to define, track, and communicate value metrics at portfolio and account level.
