What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role of Neural Nexus – Decision Intelligence & Agentic AI, Senior Director, you will lead the evolution of how Amgen translates data, AI, and advanced analytics into real-time, workflow-embedded decision systems that directly shape business actions and patient impact.

Leveraging a rapid deployment operating model, you will lead teams to quickly diagnose problems, deploy proof-of-value solutions, and scale successful innovations into enterprise capabilities.

This role expands beyond traditional commercial analytics by integrating diverse, cross-domain data sources—including medical, scientific, real-world, and unstructured data—to create unified intelligence layers that power next-generation decision ecosystems. You will partner closely with GCCI, Commercial, Medical, ATMOS teams to deliver agentic AI-enabled solutions that are scalable, compliant, and embedded directly into business workflows.
