Director, Oncology Commercial Data Science & AI Products

Director, DS&AI Products

We're building a connected, end-to-end enterprise AI engine - uniting data foundations, AI technology, process reinvention, and business-facing AI to accelerate results across the whole value chain. Success depends on being exceptional connectors: you'll actively leverage existing capabilities, celebrate and promote reuse, export breakthrough ideas across geographies and functions, and obsess over scaling impact rather than building in isolation. If you thrive in high-collaboration environments where your role is to turn complex, cross-functional problems into reusable, enterprise-wide capabilities - and where the measure of success is adoption and scale, not just innovation - you'll have the platform (and sponsorship) to make it real.

Our DS&AI Products team is the OBU's in-house engine for that work. We lead all aspects of the full lifecycle of AI-powered applications spanning predictive field triggers, patient-identification models, omnichannel next-best-action, KOL intelligence, and GenAI-powered field tools — and we ship products, not reports. Every capability we build must deliver measurable field adoption and commercial impact.

We are hiring a Director, DS&AI Products who will lead a multi-indication AI product portfolio end-to-end, serve as the strategic DS&AI business partner to OBU brand and medical leadership, and lead the responsible design, delivery, adoption, and impact measurement of AI solutions that drive commercial lift and better patient outcomes.

This is a product ownership and program strategy role — not an analytics consulting role. You lead the full AI product lifecycle: problem definition, customer research, product requirements, AI development partnership, UX design alignment, deployment, change management, and post-launch impact measurement. You are the product owner and strategist for the AI capabilities powering Sales, Marketing, and Medical Affairs across your assigned OBU tumor areas, and the liaison US Oncology and the broader AstraZeneca Enterprise AI organization for customer engagement capability building.

You will be equally comfortable writing a product requirements document, reviewing a GenAI architecture with an engineering lead, running a discovery session with brand managers, delivering the AI transformation narrative to field sales leadership and presenting a capability roadmap to the Senior Leadership Teams. You will bring a platform-centric, reuse-first mindset: every solution you ship should be architected for scalability and accelerated deployment across indications - so a trigger framework proven in one tumor area becomes the template for the next launch.

1. Program Strategy & AI Roadmap Ownership

• Own the strategy and transformation roadmap for Sales, Marketing, and Medical Affairs AI capabilities across your assigned OBU tumor-area portfolio, being responsible for planning and budget management processes in alignment with OBU annual cycle.
• Develop quantifiable cases and value narratives for future Sales, Marketing, and field AI capabilities in collaboration with OBU Franchises, I&A, and Enterprise AI delivery teams; present to OBU Leadership Team (OLT) to drive top-down alignment and shared decisions on roadmap prioritization.
• Maintain a prioritized product backlog with well-defined user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery timelines; balance the portfolio across housekeeping (maintenance/refresh), innovation (new AI capability pilots), and new-indication onboarding in an agile operating model.
• Track industry, market, and innovation shifts — GenAI, agentic AI, oncology data science, competitor AI strategies — to anticipate opportunities and risks and keep the roadmap forward-looking.
• Champion a platform-centric, reuse-first architecture philosophy: design AI capabilities that pilot in one indication and scale across OBUs without re-platforming.

2. GenAI & Agentic AI Product Development

• Lead the definition, design, and delivery of GenAI-powered applications for OBU commercial and medical teams: AI-assisted field briefing tools (InsightIQ), clinical evidence summarization for MSLs, agentic omnichannel…
