Mgr Data Sciences - Information Modeling

What you will do
Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will play a key role in a regulatory submission content automation initiative which will modernize and digitize the regulatory submission process, positioning Amgen as a leader in regulatory innovation. The initiative demonstrates pioneering technologies, including Generative AI, Structured Content Management, and integrated data to automate the creation, review, and approval of regulatory content.



Role Description:
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.



Roles & Responsibilities:

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.

What we expect of you
We are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients.
