Job Title: Senior Manager - Custom Analytics(FullStack)
GCL: E
Introduction to role:
Are you ready to lead the shift from low-code to scalable pro-code analytics that power critical decisions and, ultimately, better patient outcomes? As the lead in Custom Analytics management, you will be the hands-on engineering and change leader crafting a high-performance, enterprise-grade analytics application used across our global operations.
You will champion AI-assisted development with a human-in-control ethos-accelerating delivery while safeguarding design quality, security, and compliance. Working closely with technical partners and multi-functional collaborators, you will translate complex requirements into well-structured implementations. These will involve working with React, TypeScript, Python alongside FastAPI, APIs, quality assurance, and continuous integration and delivery. Can you picture guiding teams through this transformation while leaving behind reusable patterns, frameworks, and guides that improve efficiency and quality across the board?
We are in a period of rapid growth and digital reinvention, where smarter engineering frees scientists and business colleagues to focus on discovery, insight, and decisions. Your work will streamline the process through which we develop analytics, reduce cycle time across the SDLC, and drive consistent, standards-aligned delivery that scales.
Accountabilities:
Front-End Engineering: Develop reusable UI components using React + TypeScript + Ant Design to create a consistent, maintainable user experience that accelerates feature delivery.
Backend Services: Build and maintain backend services using FastAPI (Python) to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable business capabilities.
API Build and Integration: Implement RESTful APIs following defined standards and guidelines, enabling interoperability and performance across services.
Data Engineering: Handle data transformation, aggregation, and integration tasks to ensure accurate, timely insights for analytics use cases.
Engineering Standards: Follow established system architecture and coding standards to ensure maintainability, compliance, and consistency with organizational frameworks.
Quality and Validation: Ensure code quality through testing, validation, and alignment with standards, growing confidence in releases and reducing defects.
Performance and Debugging: Support performance optimization and debugging across the application to improve user experience and system resilience.
DevOps and Delivery: Collaborate using Docker and continuous integration and delivery pipelines to ensure smooth deployment processes and faster, reliable releases.
Risk and Issue Management: Advance and communicate technical risks or blockers effectively to reduce delivery friction and protect timelines.
AI-Assisted Delivery: Use approved AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, documentation, testing, debugging, and solution analysis while maintaining human oversight.
Coaching and Capability Building: Coach low-code/no-code developers into pro-code practices through upskilling, paired development, reusable templates, coding standards, and guided AI-assisted workflows.
Responsible AI Guardrails: Apply guardrails for AI-generated code, including human review, testing, security validation, documentation, and alignment with enterprise architecture standards.
Pro-Code Translation: Translate low-code/no-code prototypes into scalable pro-code solutions, balancing rapid prototyping with maintainability, extensibility, performance, and governance.
Patterns and Templates: Create reusable patterns, repository guidance, starter templates, and playbooks that help AI tools produce consistent, standards-aligned outputs.
Change Management: Support AI-assisted development change management through awareness, enablement, office hours, quick-start guides, feedback loops, adoption tracking, and reinforcement.
Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with leads, BAs, solution teams, and developers to reduce SDLC effort through AI across requirements, design, build, test, deployment, and support.
Measurement and Reporting: Track adoption, productivity, quality outcomes, and risks from AI-assisted practices, and share progress, blockers, and lessons learned with stakeholders.
Essential Skills/Experience:
Strong experience with:
React (v18+) + TypeScript
Python (FastAPI or similar frameworks)
Solid understanding of:
REST API design and integration
Asynchronous programming
Component-based architecture
Experience with Redux Toolkit or similar state management tools
Strong SQL skills and experience with relational databases
Ability to work with data structures involving aggregation and hierarchy
Understanding of:
Clean code practices
Scalable application design
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Hands-on experience or strong knowledge of AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, ChatGPT Enterprise, or approved equivalents.
Ability to use AI across the SDLC for code generation/explanation, refactoring, unit tests, test cases, debugging, documentation, and implementation planning.
Strong understanding of responsible AI-generated code use, including review, hallucination checks, dependency validation, privacy, and security vulnerability checks.
Experience moving teams from low-code/no-code to pro-code through capability building, coaching, standards adoption, and change management.
Ability to create developer guidance, reusable prompts, coding patterns, repository instructions, and documentation for consistent AI-assisted outputs.
Strong engineering mindset to balance rapid AI-assisted delivery with maintainability, scalability, quality, compliance, and production readiness.
Comfortable mentoring developers moving from Power Platform, workflow automation, or other low-code/no-code tools into React, TypeScript, Python, APIs, Git, testing, and CI/CD.
Desirable Skills/Experience:
Experience with data visualisation tools (Chart.js, Ant Design Charts)
Exposure to microservices architecture
Experience working in enterprise or large-scale environments
Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD workflow
Experience adopting new engineering tools, AI coding assistants, or developer productivity platforms in team or enterprise settings.
Familiarity with ADKAR or similar change frameworks covering awareness, desire, knowledge, ability, and reinforcement.
Experience defining criteria to keep, enhance, or rebuild low-code/no-code prototypes as scalable pro-code solutions.
Exposure to agentic workflows, AI-assisted planning, coding/testing agents, or repository-level AI guidance patterns.
Ability to track and communicate adoption/value metrics such as usage, time saved, manual steps reduced, quality gains, and cycle-time improvements.
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
