technology leadership in the design and evolution of regulatory and medical writing data, content, and platform architectures, including RIM data, submission metadata, document management, structured authoring, review/approval workflows, and content reuse.\nPartner with Data and Analytics teams to enable cross-system reporting, traceability, and analytics across regulatory, clinical, and document/content domains, while maintaining clear data ownership, security, and compliance boundaries.\nEnable technology capabilities that support regulatory intelligence, submission planning, labeling/content dependencies, inspection readiness, lifecycle management, authoring efficiency, and medical writing quality.\nAssess emerging digital and AI-enabled capabilities for regulatory and medical writing processes, balancing innovation with quality, validation, governance, and responsible use expectations.\nTranslate complex technical, regulatory, and compliance considerations into

troubleshooting skills to resolve complex functional and technical issues impacting regulatory submissions, document workflows, content quality, or operational delivery.\nAct as an escalation point for critical technology issues impacting Regulatory Affairs, Regulatory Operations, and Medical Writing operations.\nQualifications\nDegree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Data Science,
