THE ROLE:

You'll be responsible for revolutionizing how life sciences organizations interact with AI. You will design and deploy novel AI experiences that become daily drivers of critical workflows. Working at the intersection of customer and product, you'll orchestrate frontier AI models into practical solutions that transform drug development timelines from months to minutes.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
  • Thoughtful problem solvers: You approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You break down unstructured customer challenges into concrete deployment plans. You think critically about both business impact and technical feasibility of your solutions.

  • Organized and self-sufficient: You are comfortable managing yourself, navigating ambiguity in customer environments, and finding ways to create measurable impact. You turn loose goals into concrete execution plans.

  • Owner of your mission: You are an owner of the customer outcomes you drive. You take pride in the quality of deployments, the adoption you achieve, and the ROI you deliver. You're accountable for results, not just recommendations.

  • Grit: You will run through walls to achieve customer success and drive adoption.

  • Lead AI deployments with Top 10 Pharma and leading biotech organizations, from pilot through production adoption

  • Configure and customize AI Assistants and Agents hands-on in the platform to deliver clear, measurable value
