Associate Director of AI & Automation Catalyst

Summary

Location: London, UK

This role is based in London, UK. Novartis is unable to offer relocation support for this role. Please only apply if this location is accessible for you.

Complex data are integral to our work in clinical studies. This position is part of the Advanced Quantitative Sciences (AQS) Technology & AI function at Novartis. Our mission is to use automation and artificial intelligence to unlock the potential of complex scientific data, speed up quantitative decision-making in clinical trials, and bring innovative medicines to patients faster.

Our new Statistical Computing Environment (SCE) is changing how AQS works, from how programming and QC are done in the SCE to how outputs flow across the AQS Digital workflow. The AI & Automation Catalyst turns that technology into lasting changes in daily practice. You will co-lead, with engineering and business partners, the rollout of AI and automation into the how we generate evidence. That covers redesigning processes, being a technical champion, bringing stakeholders along, and making sure new ways of working are adopted, compliant and deliver measurable value.

This is a technical role and a change role, not one or the other. You are credible enough with engineers and programmers to shape solutions and challenge designs. You are also skilled enough with people to move senior stakeholders, line functions and skeptical end users from pilot to standard practice.
