  • Track program KPIs related to quality, timelines, regulatory compliance, and value realization

AI / ML & Imaging Platform Oversight

  • Oversee implementation of ML‑enabled imaging workflows, including model training, validation, lifecycle management, and performance monitoring
  • Partner with data science teams to operationalize computer vision, image analytics, and AI‑assisted insights

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as the primary program interface for R&D IT leaders, data platform heads, architects, and scientific stakeholders
  • Support executive‑level reviews, steering committees, and decision‑making forums
