Job Description

Drive modern pharmaceutical supply chain data foundations by building scalable data pipelines, custom web apps, and AI workflows for clinical and commercial operations.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and implement modern data foundations and pipelines to meet business needs.
Apply innovation and technology solutions (including Databricks, Python, and Agentic AI) to manage data and deliver advanced insights.
Develop custom WebApps to support Proof-of-Concept solutions, later industrialized in a React Platform.
Streamline workflows by reducing manual effort using advanced automation and machine learning.
Contribute to Data Strategy and a Strategic Roadmap for future-ready systems and intelligent data architectures.
Design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines and architectures using Databricks, Python, Dataverse, and advanced SQL.
Transform raw operational data from SAP, MES, LIMS, and other manufacturing and supply systems into analytics-ready data foundations.
Act as a bridge between business and technology by translating stakeholder needs into clear business requirements and precise technical specifications.
Design, test, and implement agentic AI workflows and machine learning models to automate decision-making and generate proactive business insights.
Develop and deploy user-friendly WebApps for business operations, data entry, and interaction with underlying data models.
Use modern development tooling (VS Code) and AI coding assistants (e.g., Cline) with GitHub for version control of scripts, applications, and data models.
Partner with data architects to ensure scalable, secure, and efficient data models that support analytical and transactional workloads.
Document processes, code, data models, and system architectures; provide training and technical support for end-users as technologies are rolled out.

Requirements

Python and advanced SQL expertise.
Hands-on experience with the Databricks Lakehouse, Delta Lake, and Unity Catalog for data governance.
Proven ability to build custom data products and rapidly prototype front ends using Streamlit or React.
Strong familiarity with SAP (or similar ERP/manufacturing systems) as a primary source for complex supply chain and manufacturing data.
Track record gathering complex requirements from non-technical stakeholders and turning them into actionable technical roadmaps.
Familiarity with or strong interest in Agentic Modeling, LLMs, and integrating AI agents into workflows (e.g., Copilot Studio).
Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment using Jira Cloud (sprint planning, story estimation, tracking) and Confluence for multi-system documentation.
Comfort working in VS Code with AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate development.
Strong GitHub usage for version control, collaborative code reviews (PRs), and automated CI/CD pipelines.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills for complex data challenges and technical solution delivery.
Demonstrated ability to build trust-based relationships across technical and non-technical stakeholders to execute priorities and drive change.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including clear communication of technical concepts across global professional levels.
Independent decision-making with a proactive approach to leading projects and delivering results.

Preferred domain knowledge

Familiarity with pharmaceutical drug substance or drug product supply chain operations (e.g., process orders, batch genealogy, MRP/MPS planning, tech transfer, quality management, global distribution).
