The Mgr Data Sciences is a mid-level position responsible for developing interconnected business information models and ontologies that capture real-world meaning of data by studying the business, our data, and the industry. With a focus on pharmaceutical industry-specific data, including Clinical, Operations, and Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC), this role involves creating robust semantic models based on data-centric principles to realize a connected data ecosystem that empowers consumers. The Information Modeler drives seamless multi-functional data interoperability, enables efficient decision-making, and supports digital transformation in pharmaceutical operations.

• Lead conversations with business collaborators to elucidate semantic models of pharmaceutical business concepts, aligned definitions, and relationships. Negotiate and debate across collaborators to drive alignment and create system-independent information models, taking a data-centric approach aligned with business data domains.
• Develop comprehensive business information models and ontologies that capture industry-specific concepts, including CMC, Clinical, and Operations data.
• Facilitate whiteboarding sessions with business domain experts to elicit knowledge, drive interoperability across pharmaceutical domains, and interface between data producers and consumers.
• Educate and mentor a team and peers on the practical use and dif
• ferentiating value of Linked Data and FAIR+ data principles. Champion standards for master data & reference data.
• Formalize data models in RDF as OWL and SHACL ontologies that interoperate with each other and with relevant industry standards like FHIR and IDMP for healthcare data exchange.
• Build a broad semantic knowledge graph that threads data together across end-to-end business processes and enables the transformation to data-centricity and new ways of working.
• Apply pragmatic semantic abstraction to simplify diverse pharmaceutical and healthcare data patterns effectively.
