The role reports to the Senior Vice President, R&D and sits on the R&D Leadership Team. It owns how that work is planned, prioritized, sequenced, and delivered across multiple sites, along with the standards and governance that keep delivery predictable, and it is the senior R&D voice on what TerumoBCT builds and in what order. The Senior Director advises executive leadership on long-range strategy and investment, settles competing priorities, and is accountable for the results that follow, from growth in market share to lower cost and stronger product quality in developed and emerging markets. Much of that gets done through others. The functional engineering teams are peers rather than reports, so the work depends on the frameworks this role sets and on the credibility the leader builds with those teams.
