Senior Manager - Life Sciences

Why Faculty?

We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here.

We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.

About the Frontier team

We are a small product team building a decision intelligence platform to transform how the world’s largest organisations achieve value from their data and machine learning assets by making better, faster decisions.

We do this by working back from a priority set of KPIs and decisions, then codifying a business-critical process in software using our Computational Twin technology. Users simulate their decisions to evaluate trade-offs proactively.

The majority of our product development focus is on improving decisions for drug development in clinical trials. AI has already made substantial gains in increasing the number of candidate molecules, but the bottleneck remains the development work to trial medicines in clinical studies. We are working to remove that bottleneck by transforming the decision making processes in clinical development. Some examples of where we already work with top-10 pharma:

• Portfolio management - how to best balance risk & opportunity across a portfolio of trials.

• Study planning and design - bridging clinical science and global operations to determine trial feasibility for timelines, cost and quality.

• Trial execution - tracking and re-forecasting trial timelines mid-flight with recommendations on downstream decisions such as resourcing and supplies.

About the role

As a Senior Manager in Frontier, you will bridge the gap between our product’s advanced AI capabilities and real-world business impact. You will be instrumental in driving both the successful implementation of our product to global life sciences organisations, and the commercial growth of our customer accounts.

Your role will evolve and flex based on business needs but it is expected that deploying and embedding Frontier with customers will take 60-70% of your time, with the remainder dedicated to identifying the next use cases that define the future of clinical trials.

This is a position for those looking to step into team leadership where you will guide and mentor a talented multi-disciplinary team of software engineers, data scientists and delivery managers.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading transformational AI system implementations by scoping high-value solutions and navigating complex technical challenges alongside technical colleagues.

• Managing enterprise life sciences accounts, taking deployments from initial scope through to launch while identifying and shaping strategic growth opportunities.

• Working hand-in-glove with the customer's working teams day to day, including business users, innovation leaders and IT teams. You will own the end-to-end deployment programme, from initial problem identification to successful rollout and value measurement.

• Building deep trust with senior stakeholders in global pharma organisations through a sophisticated understanding of how Frontier addresses their highest-value problems.

• Advocating for customer needs internally by providing the product development team with direct insights to shape where Frontier goes next within drug development.

Who we're looking for:

• You bring extensive experience in technology consulting, product development, or a similar high-impact, customer-facing role.

• You have prior experience in the Life Sciences sector, with a broad understanding of the drug development process.

• You have a proven track record of leading multidisciplinary teams to deploy AI/ML solutions with measurable real-world impact.

• You possess exceptional communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts and foster trust with diverse stakeholders.

• You are an expert at managing senior customer relationships and influencing outcomes across multiple internal and external teams.

• You demonstrate a proactive and adaptable mindset, thriving in ambitious, fast-paced environments where you can find pragmatic paths through ambiguity.

• You are motivated by solving consequential problems and have the versatility to evolve your role as the Frontier product scales globally.
