Job description

The Associate Director, Digital & Business Process Strategy leads the vision, roadmap, and value delivery of digital products that span PAS-X, Tulip (MES), data historians, and LIMS within AstraZeneca's manufacturing network. This role sits in the Digital & Business Process Strategy team and partners with Operations, Quality, Global IT, Data & AI, Supply Chain and Site teams to modernize data flows, improve Right-First-Time, and enable compliant, data-driven decision making from shop floor to enterprise. You will be based in Rockville, MD and report to the Senior Director of Digital & Business Process Strategy.
Key responsibilities
1. Product vision and roadmap
  • Define and socialize a compelling product vision linking MES (PAS-X, Tulip), Historian - CDZ, and LIMS capabilities to business outcomes (yield, cycle time, batch release, deviation reduction)
  • Build and manage a multi-release roadmap, balancing global platforms with site needs, technical debt, and regulatory priorities.
  • Maintain a prioritized, value-ranked backlog with clear acceptance criteria and Definition of Done

2. Stakeholder and value management
  • Act as the voice of Operations, Quality, and QA/QP in product decisions; translate pain points into epics/features to deliver e2e business process maps and well-defined business requirements
  • Quantify value through OKRs/KPIs (e.g., batch review time, exception rates, data availability SLAs) and track benefits realization.

3. Delivery leadership
  • Lead agile squads (process SMEs, solution architects, data engineers, MES configuration, historians, LIMS specialists, validation) to deliver increments.
  • Coordinate integration patterns between MES, historians, LIMS, ERP, data platforms, and analytics/AI products.
  • Ensure robust data models, master data stewardship, and event/transaction standards supporting traceability across systems.

4. Compliance and validation
  • Ensure products comply with GxP, 21 CFR Part 11/Annex 11, data integrity (ALCOA+), and site/enterprise validation requirements.
  • Own validation strategy for changes (CSV/CSA), including risk assessments, test evidence, and audit readiness.

5. Data and analytics enablement
  • Enable contextualized data capture and lineage from equipment and MES to historian and LIMS; expose governed data to analytics platforms.
  • Partner with Data & AI teams on use cases such as real-time deviation detection, golden batch, CPV/Continued Process Verification, and eBR/eBRR optimization.

6. Operations readiness and lifecycle management
  • Plan releases, cutovers, and change management across multiple sites; coordinate training and SOP updates.
  • Own product performance, reliability, and cybersecurity posture; manage incidents, problem remediation, and continuous improvement.
  • Manage vendor relationships (e.g., Körber, Factory Talk, PAS-X, Tulip, Historian and LIMS providers) and ensure contract deliverables align to roadmap.

Required qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, life sciences, computer science, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 8+ years in pharma/biotech or highly regulated manufacturing with hands-on exposure to at least two of the following: PAS-X (or equivalent MES), process data historians (e.g., PI/AVEVA, IP.21, Ignition), LIMS/ELN.
  • 3+ years as a Product Owner or equivalent (product management, solution owner) delivering digital capabilities in GxP environments.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing and quality processes: recipe management, eBR, batch disposition, deviation/CAPA, CPV, stability, and sample lifecycle.
  • Demonstrated experience integrating shop-floor systems with enterprise platforms (ERP, QMS) and data/analytics stacks; familiarity with ISA-95/ISA-88 models and data standards.
  • Practical knowledge of CSV/CSA, GAMP 5, data integrity, and audit expectations.

Preferred qualifications
  • Experience with PAS-X configuration and content management; knowledge of interface frameworks, EBR review workflows, and exception handling.
  • Background in OT/IT convergence: OPC UA, MQTT, edge connectivity, time-series data modeling, and event streaming.
  • Working knowledge of modern data platforms and analytics (e.g., cloud data lakes, time-series services, visualization, ML for manufacturing).
  • Certification in Agile/Scrum (PSPO, CSPO) and/or product management; Lean Six Sigma or equivalent continuous improvement credentials.
  • Experience operating across multi-site/global manufacturing organizations and managing vendor ecosystems.

Key competencies
  • Business value orientation converts operational challenges into measurable outcomes and prioritizes accordingly.
  • Systems thinking understands end-to-end data flows from equipment and MES to LIMS/quality and enterprise analytics.
  • Stakeholder influence: builds alignment across Operations, Quality, IT, and site leadership.
  • Decision making under compliance: balances speed with validation and data integrity requirements.
  • Communication and change leadership; simplifies complex topics and drives adoption.
  • Delivery excellence: strong backlog management, release planning, and risk mitigation.
