Job Description

To maintain our #1 Healthcare supply chain serving our patients, customers and parents – and remaining agile in the new digital world, J&J is looking to build capability in developing supply chain solutions that enable supporting the above initiatives.

The role requires both an in-depth knowledge of existing advanced analytics practices and approaches including Machine Learning, Simulation, data pipelines and advanced visualization and the ability to influence and convince others and customize and work in a multidisciplinary environment to drive business solutions. Knowledge of application of advanced analytics to manufacturing and especially pharmaceutical / healthcare / medical device manufacturing is highly desirable.

The candidate will report to director of J&J SC Data Science to:

• Gather business requirements from business partners and accurately translate those into digital & data science solution prototypes involving predictive analytics/simulation components, validate the prototypes and work closely with product development teams to scale the prototypes
• Work closely with product development teams to ensure that prototypes are scaled optimally with respect to adherence to business requirements, solution cost and agility to flex the solutions
• Work closely with vendors to deploy third party algorithmic components into our digital platforms.
• Assist digital product managers in new digital product launches i.e. ensuring that the right user tests are designed for product validation, develop metrics and product analytics to monitor and optimize products
• Assist digital product managers in sustaining and optimizing existing digital & data science products and platforms. This would involve continuous improvements to already deployed models by testing new generations of data science models, evaluating optimal ways to implement those models (e.g. open source vs vendor sourced analytic components)
