Director, Medical Digital Transformation

US Medical Affairs Oncology (USMAO) is advancing a bold transformation to realize our aspirations for Customer 2030 (C2030), Future of CRM (FoCRM), and Future of Field Medical (FoFM). We are building a modern Medical organization where digital fluency, data‑driven insight, and human‑centered engagement enable better outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals.

Do you have deep change and transformation expertise, with hands‑on experience in Medical Affairs and field medical ways of working? The Medical Excellence team is seeking a highly motivated leader to drive the strategy and execution of change management across USMAO as we adopt new platforms, mindsets, and operating models.

As the Director, Change Management – USMAO, you will lead a clear, human‑centered change strategy and phased roadmap aligned to C2030, FoCRM, and FoFM. You will coordinate closely with field and headquarters medical teams, our external agency partner(s), and cross‑functional colleagues to plan, communicate, train, and sustain adoption of new tools and behaviors—including a new CRM, AI‑enabled engagement capabilities, and expanded data sources that inform scientific exchange and decision‑making. You will embed proven change management principles to prepare, manage, and reinforce behavior change, all within a compliant manner.

• Adoption measurement and benefits realization: Define adoption outcomes and success measures (e.g., adoption, penetration, fidelity, time to proficiency, and sustainment) and run a governance cadence that turns insights into action (interventions, process fixes, prioritization decisions).

• Data hygiene and insight quality: Establish and drive adherence to role-based data standards (e.g., CRM hygiene, required fields with purpose, insight taxonomy/quality criteria, minimal-burden documentation patterns)
