GenAI & Applied AI Solutioning Design GenAI solutions using LLMs, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, agents, knowledge search, summarization, automation, and workflow augmentation. Identify opportunities where AI can improve productivity, decision‑making, analytics, and business processes. Define build‑vs‑buy considerations for AI solutions and recommend appropriate technology stacks. Develop proof‑of‑concepts or prototypes to validate solution feasibility. Guide teams on responsible AI, explainability, model limitations, and risk mitigation. Problem Framing & Business Translation Work closely with business stakeholders to understand needs, pain points, workflows, and success criteria. Convert business requirements into AI use cases, functional specifications, and technical solution designs. Assess data availability, feasibility, complexity, risks, dependencies, and expected business impact. Prioritize AI use cases based on value, feasibility, scalability, and adoption potential. Communicate solution options, trade‑offs, risks, and recommendations to both technical and non‑technical audiences. End‑to‑End Delivery Ownership Own the solution lifecycle from ideation to design, prototype, implementation support, deployment, and adoption. Partner with AI/ML engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, application teams, and platform teams to deliver production‑ready solutions. Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards. Support productionization through MLOps, LLMOps, monitoring, governance, and continuous improvement practices. Track business outcomes and ensure solutions deliver measurable impact. Collaboration with Engineering & Platform Teams Provide technical direction to development and engineering teams during implementation. Collaborate on API design, data pipeline integration, model deployment, prompt management, vector search, and cloud architecture. Ensure AI solutions are designed for reliability, performance, security, privacy, and compliance. Review implementation approaches and help resolve design or integration challenges. Act as a bridge between business teams, AI teams, and technology delivery teams. Pharmaceutical Domain Application Clinical trials Real‑world evidence Medical affairs Drug discovery Commercial analytics Patient analytics Regulatory and safety operations Sales and marketing effectiveness Understand pharma data types, workflows, compliance expectations, and business challenges. Ensure AI solutions consider regulatory, data privacy, security, and ethical AI requirements. Support use‑case design for regulated and sensitive healthcare environments. Technical Expertise Required Skills Strong understanding of AI, machine learning, GenAI, and applied analytics concepts. Ability to design AI solutions without being limited to hands‑on model development. Experience with Python and SQL.
