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 workstreams.
• 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;
