US Industry & Ecosystem Lead, Life Sciences

Quick Facts

• Role: US Industry & Ecosystem Lead, Life Sciences

• Focus: Life Sciences strategy for pharma and medical devices, starting with manufacturing modernization

Description

Own the Life Sciences strategy across pharma and medical devices, using the manufacturing floor as the beachhead. Deliver manufacturing modernization across GMP plants, including line-side iPad/iPhone, electronic batch records, device history records, paperless quality, and data integrity aligned to 21 CFR Part 11 and GAMP 5. Scale priority use cases and lead GxP-validated AI and AI-assisted workflows that meet regulatory standards.

Responsibilities

• Uncover and deliver manufacturing modernization: line-side iPad, electronic batch records, device history records, paperless quality, and data integrity across pharma and medical device plants by partnering with MES, quality, and manufacturing-execution platforms.

• Advance GxP-validated AI on Apple: on-device intelligence and AI-assisted workflows meeting regulatory standards, leveraging Apple privacy architecture and on-device ML.

• Grow the life sciences partner ecosystem: identify solution providers, ISVs, systems integrators, and pharma/biotech/medtech/CRO partners and build joint plans for repeatable, scalable wins.

• Shape Apple’s position in life sciences and secure executive buy-in for major bets.

• Scale priority use cases beyond manufacturing, including field sales enablement and Apple as a controller for implantable devices.

• Serve as Apple’s life sciences authority by translating Pharma 4.0, GxP-validated AI, and regulatory shifts into strategic positions across routes to market.

• Engage regulatory bodies and standards organizations, including FDA’s evolving AI/ML guidance.

• Partner with product, engineering, privacy, and legal teams as the voice of the industry inside Apple.

Requirements

• 15+ years at the intersection of technology and life sciences (industry, consulting, or key ISV).

• Direct experience with regulated manufacturing in pharma or medical devices: GMP plant floors, quality systems, and validated environments.

• Proven track record building life sciences partner ecosystems and turning them into scalable, repeatable business.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
