To power this ambition with both speed and scale, we are embracing a new capability-oriented operating model, allowing business and technology teams to partner side by side in building, advancing, and delivering global capabilities across our enterprise.

This role leads teams responsible for generating integrated, decision-ready insights across HCPs, patients, caregivers, payers, and markets, translating complex data into clear implications that inform strategy, guide execution, and improve customer experience and business performance.
