The opportunity
Join the International Data, Technology and Engineering team for a placement focused on how technology, data and AI can improve the way people work and help bring medicines to patients. You will contribute across three connected areas: supporting responsible AI adoption and experimentation, working as part of product teams, and translating business needs into clear technology requirements.
This is a developmental role with meaningful responsibility. You will begin with structured support and coaching, take ownership of defined activities and deliverables, and, as your capability and confidence grow, have the opportunity to work with greater independence.
Drive AI adoption
Support awareness, training, experimentation and practical use of approved AI tools. Help lead an Early Talent Hackathon that turns ideas into tangible prototypes or recommendations.
Support product teams
Work as a member of one or more product teams. Help maintain and refine backlogs, prepare prioritisation discussions, track actions and outcomes, and support delivery around product launches.
Translate business needs
Engage with business partners to understand problems and opportunities. Help turn needs into user stories, features, requirements and clear inputs for commercial technology product owners.
What you will gain
Who we are looking for
