About The Position

At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We are seeking a Director, AI Engineering to lead the AI function for our Industrial Operations and Product Supply (IOPS) organization — spanning governance and compliant operation of AI in a regulated environment, delivery of IOPS-specific AI use cases, and the education and enablement programs that drive adoption across the business. In this role, you will translate AI capability into adopted, measurable value — partnering with Quality, enterprise AI, and senior leaders across IOPS — while leading and developing a high-performing multidisciplinary team. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-growing, science-driven organization making a meaningful difference to patients worldwide.

Responsibilities

Own and execute the IOPS AI roadmap in alignment with business goals, including use-case intake, prioritization, and value measurement across a mature and growing project portfolio
Operate and evolve AI governance within a GMP environment — maintaining the IOPS AI policy and governance framework, computer system classification, validation procedures, qualified access, and data integrity — in close partnership with Quality and functional stakeholders
Sustain audit and inspection readiness for AI systems and governance processes; represent IOPS AI practices to internal and external assessors
Deliver IOPS-specific AI use cases end to end with an established multidisciplinary team, from business-need translation through deployment, adoption, and measured value
Lead AI education and enablement across IOPS — including fluency curricula for audiences from operators to executives, an embedded advocate network, and engagement channels that convert demand into adoption
Partner with Regeneron’s enterprise AI organization to adopt corporate platforms, tools, and standards, adapting them for GMP use rather than building parallel capability
Translate between technology and leadership, communicating AI strategy, risk, and value clearly to senior leaders across the organization
Lead, develop, and mentor an established high-performing team, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning
