** Director, Scientific and Operations Intelligence, Obesity*
* This role owns the non-commercial Obesity Insights & Analytics agenda across scientific domains, including R&D, Medical, and Clinical Development, and operations domains, including Clinical Operations, Supply, and related Operations functions. As the trusted Insights & Analytics partner to senior leaders across these functions, the Director connects priorities, surfaces cross-functional dependencies, frames the questions with the greatest potential to improve decisions and outcomes, and mobilizes the right data and expertise to deliver clear recommendations for Obesity and Related Conditions leadership.
During the initial capability build, the Director will operate as an agile enterprise problem solver, flexing across the highest-priority functional and cross-functional needs. In parallel, the Director will build the long-term team, operating model, and recurring portfolio required to create sustained value.
The Director is accountable for prioritization, problem framing, analytical strategy and delivery, executive synthesis, and decision-impact measurement, partnering with the India-based Scientific and Operations Intelligence capability and other experts to scale delivery. Commercial Insights & Analytics and Competitive Intelligence are outside the remit. Success is measured by decisions improved, risks anticipated, and value created.
** Key Responsibilities*
* + Build and sustain trusted relationships with senior leaders across R&D, Medical, Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Supply, and related Operations functions to understand evolving priorities, connect interdependencies, and shape the Insights & Analytics agenda. Anchor each priority to a clear question, decision date, decision owner, and value at stake, and ensure insights translate into decisions and action.
+ Serve as an agile problem-solving leader across the scientific and operations remit, rapidly deploying to the most consequential functional and cross-functional priorities rather than operating through fixed work streams.
+ Lead priority work end to end: define the decision and hypotheses; determine the analytical approach; mobilize the right data, capabilities, and experts; synthesize findings; recommend a course of action; and track impact.
+ Integrate scientific and operational information into decision-ready views of options, dependencies, uncertainties, and trade-offs, including research prioritization, development choices, evidence generation, trial execution, supply capacity, and readiness.
+ Build reusable decision products and analytical capabilities, including scenario models, evidence maps, risk dashboards, decision trees, and leading indicators. Apply advanced analytics and AI where they materially improve quality, speed, or scale.
+ Build the long-term team and operating model, including intake and prioritization, stakeholder engagement, work-product standards, governance, and an effective delivery model across the India-based Scientific and Operations Intelligence capability, functional analytics teams, and subject-matter experts.
+ Create a high-performing culture of intellectual honesty, constructive challenge, analytical rigor, and action, with strong standards for scientific integrity, compliance, privacy, data governance, and reproducibility.
** What we expect of you*

* + Doctorate degree and 4 years of relevant experience OR
+ Master's degree and 7 years of relevant experience OR
