This position’s remit spans Global Development (GD), including development operations, regulatory, medical affairs, and Regeneron’s clinical development units. While mainly focusing on operations, this position will also be expected to contribute to overall strategy, including prioritization and alignment with other Regeneron business units outside of Global Development. This position will also help translate and represent the work of technical groups that will be developing and implementing platforms, algorithms, and systems as part of the digital transformation project.

• Act as the primary liaison between GD and external strategic consultants, ensuring alignment on priorities, use case validation, and change management initiatives.

• Tailor DT strategy to Global Development’s needs and priorities, translating these priorities into specific project plans

• Build and manage relationships with external partners and vendors, ensuring alignment with business objectives and delivery of high-quality outcomes. Co-lead the development and execution of a robust change management strategy to ensure successful adoption of new processes, technologies, and ways of working.

• Foster a culture of innovation and adaptability, empowering teams to embrace digital transformation.

• Oversee the development of comprehensive project plans, outlining prioritization frameworks, technical implementation strategies, and risk mitigation approaches.

• Establish and monitor performance metrics (KPIs) to evaluate project success, delivering regular updates and strategic recommendations to executive leadership.

• Coordinate DT strategy and initiatives with other Regeneron business units (e.g., Commercial, Research) to drive enterprise-wide synergies and maximize impact.

To be considered for this opportunity, you must have the following:

• Minimum BS with 15+ years of relevant experience (or MS/MBA with 13+ years of relevant experience)

• At least 7 years experience developing and leading strategy, including accountability for the success of the implementation, in life sciences or healthcare.

• Robust knowledge of the essential processes involved in pharmaceutical R&D with a focus on the drug development lifecycle (e.g. protocol and trial design, safety reporting, outcomes research, etc.)

• Robust technical knowledge of AI/ML and relevant platforms and technologies as well as common enterprise systems

• Experience presenting to and educating senior leadership around the fundamentals of digital transformation including investment, go/no go decisions, especially with non-technical audiences

• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, change management, and strategic planning skills
