Associate Director - Profile, Identity & Access Product Owner

Lilly • Indianapolis, IN

8d • $124,500 - $182,600 • Hybrid

About The Position

Every person who logs into a Lilly consumer experience passes through the system you'll own. Global pharma companies rarely hand a single person the directive to both run a critical product and set its AI strategy — this role does both. You will own Single Sign-On, consumer profile and identity as a real product with real collaborators. This is a product leadership seat, not a queue to work through. You set direction, you make the call on what gets automated and when, and you represent this domain to senior leadership. If you want to build a category-defining career in AI-era data product management inside a company whose products save lives, this is that opportunity.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, management information systems, or a related field
• 7+ years delivering technical products or platforms, with demonstrated product ownership
• Experience with cloud technologies such as AWS or Azure
• Working fluency in SQL and/or Python — enough to direct technical work credibly, evaluate trade-offs, and hold engineers accountable
• Experience applying quality, compliance, and data governance requirements in a regulated environment

Nice To Haves

• Experience owning profile, identity, authentication, or consent infrastructure as a product
• Working knowledge of agentic AI patterns — what's realistically automatable today vs. what still needs a human, and why
• A track record of writing and defending a technology roadmap to senior, non-technical collaborators
• Comfort operating with less spec and more ambiguity as the operating model shifts toward AI-curated pipelines
• Sharp analytical instincts — you dig into root cause rather than resolving symptoms
• Genuine curiosity about where AI is taking data product management, and the drive to help define it

Responsibilities

• Roadmap ownership: lead the SSO / consumer login product roadmap end-to-end — prioritization, delivery, and stakeholder alignment
• Translation: turn business and compliance requirements into technical direction, and technical constraints back into business terms collaborators can act on
• Integration: manage integration points across identity, consent, and downstream consumer systems
• Trust and compliance: own data quality, Protect Lilly, and data usage compliance for the identity domain
• Accountability: define product-level SLAs and KPIs — and report on outcomes, not ticket volume
• Stakeholder leadership: represent the identity & access domain to senior stakeholders as needed
• Roadmap authorship: define the AI/automation roadmap for identity and access — what gets automated, in what sequence, and under what governance
• Pilot selection: identify and prioritize AI pilot candidates within the SSO/identity domain (e.g., anomaly detection, exception triage, adaptive authentication)
• Technical direction: set direction for engineers and contractors completing the roadmap — you direct the work, you don't need to hand-code it
• Governance by design: partner with governance and architecture leads so automation is policy-compliant and audit-ready from day one
• Evolve: grow from product owner into a domain intelligence / architecture lead as agentic automation absorbs execution work
• Partner: work with the architects and technical leads to encode profile and identity domain knowledge into Lilly's semantic layer
• Lead governance: own DataGovOps / policy-as-code standards for the profile and identity domain as controls shift from manual review to embedded automation

Benefits

• company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance)
• company-sponsored 401(k)
• pension
• vacation benefits
• medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits
• flexible benefits (e.g., healthcare and/or dependent day care flexible spending accounts)
• life insurance and death benefits
• certain time off and leave of absence benefits
• well-being benefits (e.g., employee assistance program, fitness benefits, and employee clubs and activities)
