stakeholder landscapes to align ML/AI execution with broad business goals paving the path

towards realizing our mission of bringing better medicines to patients 50% faster.

You Will:

Experience with Probabilistic Products: You have successfully managed products where the core value is a prediction or inference. You know how to handle user expectations around uncertainty confidence scores and false positives/negatives in high-stakes environments.
Experience in Technology-as-a-Service: A proven track record managing inference technology that is consumed via API or service layer where that same technology powers internal user-facing products.
