Make your mark for patients

We are looking for a Technical Program Lead who is analytical, communicative, and self-motivated to join us in our Ethics & Business Integrity (E&BI) team. This position can be based in any of our United States offices in Atlanta, Georgia, Raleigh, North Carolina or Boston, Massachusetts. This hybrid position requires a minimum of 40% on site presence.

About the role

You will be working in a team that leads the global compliance monitoring program, a comprehensive assessment process that incorporates risk evaluation, data analysis, sample selection, testing, and reporting. One of the primary goals of this program is to enable both compliance teams and business partners to make informed decisions based on empirical evidence and to promote ethics and business integrity within the organization. This role will stand at the center of a vision that significantly enhances this program by centralizing, standardizing, and automating its many parts. This role serves as a technical program manager, coordinating with various stakeholders to make this vision a reality.

Who you'll work with

Your primary stakeholders will be the global monitoring team at UCB, which includes full-time employees as well as contractor and external vendor support, as well as the IT compliance team, who will help you to build effective component parts of this vision. Output of your work will be two-pronged: it will serve to (1) inform and strengthen components of the global compliance program, such as policies, governance, training, and monitoring and (2) feed out to business leadership to help them make proactively compliant and confident decisions on novel initiatives

What you'll do

• Coordinate with the head of compliance insights, monitoring, and transparency on a broad vision, breaking it down into component parts and establishing a realistic workplan
• Translate the needs of stakeholders and the aspirations of leadership into practical direction for supporting teams including IT
• Obtain stakeholder feedback and identify key areas of enhancement in the existing monitoring process
• Pilot approaches and regularly manage project steps leveraging an agile workflow methodology
• You will coordinate the hub's development and oversee its operation. While coding and IT knowledge are essential for this oversight, hub development itself will occur through IT functions

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative area, Master/Doctor's in a quantitative area is preferred
• 8+ years of analytics/insights experience
• An analytical mindset coupled with significant project management experience - PMP or similar certifications is a plus

• Experience in data visualization projects, either as a lead project manager or as a coder/builder of dashboards through PowerBI, Alteryx, Tableau, Qlikview, SmartSheet, or others
• Proven track record of timely execution of priorities, creation of realistic visions, cross-functional stakeholder management, and streamlining manual processes into automated flows
• Familiarity with pharmaceutical compliance risks or compliance considerations for stakeholder engagements is a plus
• Fluency in SQL, PowerQuery, star-schemas, DAX, or similar coding languages and approaches is preferred but not required

This positions reasonably anticipated base salary range is $124,000-$162,800 per year. The actual salary offered will take into account internal equity and may also vary depending on the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience, among other factors.
