Global Medical DD&T Insights Ecosystem Lead

Global Medical Insights Lead

As a Global Medical Insights Lead within Takeda's Medical Digital, Data, and Technology (DD&T) team, you will drive the digital strategy, product ownership, and definition of solutions that power the Insights ecosystem within Takeda's Medical Nucleus working in close collaboration with the Engagement and Evidence Ecosystem Leads. In Takeda's connected, closed-loop medical ecosystem, engagement generates actionable insights — and insights inform both evidence and engagement strategy.

This role focuses at the insights ecosystem but works at the intersection of the two ecosystems (Engagement and Insights), ensuring that the platforms, data, and AI-enabled capabilities that underpin HCP & KOL engagement, omnichannel delivery, content excellence, and medical insights capture and analysis are strategically aligned, technically sound, and delivering measurable impact across the Nucleus Ecosystems.

Business partnering is at the heart of your success. You will work closely with Global Medical Affairs, Global DD&T, IBU/ USBU Medical teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure medical strategy and digital and AI solutions deliver actionable and impactful insights. Your collaborative relationships will be critical in driving both product strategy and execution.

This role requires a balance of operational excellence and DD&T innovation, as well as the leadership to guide global stakeholders on a shared journey toward digital transformation that addresses business needs and delivers sustainable impact. This role directly impacts the Global Medical DD&T operating model, shaping insights standards, governance, and ways of working across Global, US, and IBU regions. Through the Insights Ecosystem roadmap the role influences investment and prioritization decisions across the Medical Nucleus ecosystem.

This role will also champion Takeda's Associate Director Leadership Behaviors, embodying agility, collaboration, and strategic decision-making in all aspects of this role.
