Executive Summary
Lantheus is seeking a highly experienced, hands-on technology leader to serve as Director, Head of IT – Data, Analytics, Information Management, Automation & AI. This role will lead the enterprise transformation from fragmented, request-driven reporting toward a governed, scalable, data-driven, AI-enabled operating model. The position is based in Bedford, Massachusetts and supports a global life sciences organization with operations in the United States, Canada, and Sweden.
The leader will own strategy, architecture, delivery, operations, governance, and cultural evolution across enterprise data, analytics, information management, automation, AI, and GenAI. Success requires strong technical credibility, architectural judgment, business partnership skills, transformation leadership, and the ability to inspire a team through a major maturity journey.
Role Purpose and Scope
The Director will define and execute a multi-year enterprise roadmap that advances Lantheus’ capabilities across data foundations, analytics platforms, information management, automation, and responsible AI. The role spans all major business functions, including R&D, Commercial, Technical Operations, Quality, Medical, G&A, and other enterprise functions.
This role is expected to move the organization from application-centric reporting and tactical delivery toward standardized master data, reusable data products, a governed enterprise data marketplace, self-service analytics, natural-language insights, AI/GenAI applications, and cross-functional agentic AI orchestration.
Key Responsibilities
Enterprise data strategy and transformation: Establish and execute the data, analytics, information management, automation, and AI roadmap. Build governed data foundations, reusable data entities, data integration, mastering, lineage, quality, and stewardship practices. Create a searchable enterprise data marketplace and establish guidance for analytics platforms and BI tools.
Business partnering and stakeholder management: Serve as the enterprise-facing IT leader for data. Build trusted partnerships with business leaders, manage demand and use-case intake, establish customer feedback loops, and ensure data capabilities are easy to find, use, trust, and translate into business value.
AI, automation, and analytics enablement: Drive adoption of AI and GenAI solutions, including buy-versus-build assessments, lifecycle management, and delivery of high-impact use cases. Lead agentic AI orchestration initiatives and scale automation across RPA, workflow automation, intelligent automation, test automation, chatbots, process mining, and optimization.
Training, change management, and adoption: Develop enterprise training strategies for data, analytics, automation, and AI. Build role-based learning pathways, center-led enablement programs, communication plans, stakeholder alignment, and adoption support for new platforms, operating models, and ways of working.
Governance, risk, and compliance: Establish enterprise data governance, stewardship, data quality, access, privacy, security, and responsible AI practices. Partner with Legal, Compliance, Quality, and Security to align with standards such as GxP, SOX, GDPR, and data privacy expectations.
Operational, people, and portfolio leadership: Oversee dashboards, analytics solutions, integrations, data pipelines, and information management capabilities. Mature the team from tactical order-taking to strategic advisory, manage managers and senior technical leaders, build a culture of engineering excellence and business empathy, and own budgets, vendor relationships, platform investments, contracts, chargeback models, and demand prioritization.
