Associate Director, Clinical AI Evaluation and Responsible Deployment

About AISI
AI Science & Innovation (AISI) sits at the centre of AstraZeneca’s R&D; AI transformation within Enterprise AI Unit (EAI). Our remit is to build, buy, and deliver the AI models and agents that change pipeline outcomes across discovery, translational science, biomarkers, and clinical development, ultimately improve patients’ lives.

We are building an end-to-end Enterprise AI engine that unites data foundations, AI models, platforms, and business-facing applications to accelerate results across the value chain. Success comes from reusing what already works, sharing ideas across teams, and scaling impact rather than building in isolation.

Role overview
AstraZeneca is building an AI capability for Clinical Development that will improve how trials are designed, conducted, monitored, and analysed. We are hiring an Associate Director, Clinical AI Evaluation and Responsible Deployment to create the evidence systems that determine whether clinical AI is useful, reliable, safe, and ready to scale.





The role sits in the Applied Clinical AI team and engages directly with clinical stakeholders, Engineering, IT, and data teams to shape priorities, requirements, and delivery in collaboraiton with AstraZeneca’s existing Engineering, Product and Clinical Solutions teams.

Clinical AI rarely has simple ground truth. Expert judgments can differ, source data can be incomplete, and the consequence of an error depends on where an output appears in the workflow. You will turn these realities into rigorous evaluation environments, release criteria, monitoring strategies, and validation-ready evidence. You will work directly with clinical stakeholders to define what “good” means and directly with scientists and engineers to implement it in code.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will build evaluation harnesses, analyse model and workflow behaviour, design experiments, and help teams diagnose f
