Therapeutics Development & Supply (TDS) bridges scientific discovery and clinical application across Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC), device development, and clinical supply chain, ensuring every molecule, modality, and delivery system is developed, scaled, and supplied under rigorous scientific and regulatory standards. The R&D Data, Data Science and AI organization is seeking a Director, Data Science to lead a team of applied data scientists, machine learning scientists, and GenAI/agentic engineers who turn TDS’s scientific and operational data into AI- and data-science-driven workflows.

You will own the design, build, validation, and delivery of the solutions behind TDS’s digital roadmap, from model-informed process design and lab-in-the-loop workflows to scientific reasoning agents and dynamic document generation. Success is measured in delivering durable, reusable capabilities rather than delivered pilots, and in how far data science scales beyond your own team into TDS. Leading 5+ individual contributors, you will build on AI-ready data products and semantic layers and partner with scientists, SMEs, DDSAI, and J&J Technology to move solutions from pilots to governed production-level products.

This leader is expected to drive outcomes through a combination of hands-on technical work, delegation and influence.

• Applied AI/ML & GenAI Solutions Leadership Define and execute the TDS AI Solutions strategy and portfolio roadmap aligned to TDS and DDSAI priorities, spanning scientific reasoning and decisions, model-informed design, autonomous labs and plants, intelligent demand-driven supply, and dynamic document generation.
• Lead the design, build, validation, and delivery of AI/ML, generative AI, and agentic co-scientist solutions, translating complex scientific and operational problems into well-scoped modeling problems with fit-for-purpose methods.
• Establish reusable solution patterns, shared components, evaluation frameworks, and agentic architectures that scale across TDS modalities and functions, favoring configurable capabilities over point solutions, and setting the criteria for when a bespoke build is justified.
• Serve as DDSAI technical owner for the…
