You will play a variety of roles according to your experience, knowledge, and the general business/team requirements, including but not limited to these core responsibilities:

• You act as a domain expert, providing business insights and opportunities for stakeholders through the procurement organization. You leverage insights across a broad portfolio of R&D stakeholders to identify common operational challenges, driving enterprise-wide solutions.

• You will work with your team, broader capability area, networks, and squads/project teams to determine the various roles you can take to deliver or support both project and foundational work. In particular you will partner closely with Analytics & Insights, Market Intelligence, and Category teams to formulate data-informed hypotheses, identify emerging market trends, and uncover hidden efficiency or innovation opportunities across pRED, gRED, and PD.

Your successful performance and contribution depend on the full embodiment and demonstration of core mindsets and behaviors, including curiosity, passion, an entrepreneurial spirit, enterprise thinking, inclusive collaboration, and desire for continuous learning that underpin our culture and ways of working.

• You have demonstrated experience across the Pharma R&D landscape (including early research environments like pRED/gRED or clinical development).

• You have demonstrated project management skills
• You strive to act as an enterprise thinker and leverage knowledge and expertise to create solutions for business customers by proactively fostering collaboration, including across the procurement network
