Director, Enterprise AI

eClinical Solutions is transforming clinical development with elluminate®, our Clinical Data Cloud, helping life sciences organizations unify, analyze, and unlock the value of their data faster than ever before. By combining a modern cloud platform with expert data services, we empower smarter decisions across the clinical trial lifecycle—accelerating innovation that ultimately improves patient outcomes.

As we accelerate our eNOVA AI-First transformation, we are seeking a technically grounded Director of Artificial Intelligence, a hands-on leader who has built AI capabilities, developed intelligent agents, and led technical teams, and who can now bring that experience to bear at the enterprise level. This role partners closely with the teams, ensuring that AI initiatives across the enterprise are coherent, governed, and aligned to business value. The Director will lead the AI Value Office (AIVO), own the enterprise AI governance framework, oversee the technical architecture blueprint for cross-functional AI use cases, and serve as the primary connector between the SLT, department AI Champions, and the Operational Excellence teams. Critically, this leader will bring credibility and hands-on experience to guide, evaluate, and where needed, directly contribute to AI solutions being built across the organization.

You will make an impact:

The Director Enterprise Artificial Intelligence will be the operational center of gravity for eClinical Solutions’ AI-First journey. Unlike a purely strategic role, this leader brings deep technical experience having personally built AI agents, designed ML pipelines, and led engineering teams delivering AI capabilities in production. That technical foundation is what makes this role uniquely effective: the ability to assess what is genuinely feasible, guide teams through complex implementation challenges, and credibly engage with both technical architects and business executives. Working in close alignment with the departments, the EVP Global Operations, and the SLT, this role is pivotal in transforming how eClinical operates, competes, and delivers value.
