Position Summary

Sonexus Access and Patient Support is the patient services division of Cardinal Health Biopharma Solutions, supporting biopharmaceutical manufacturers, healthcare providers and patients across complex therapy access and treatment journeys. Our mission is to simplify and strengthen patient access by connecting strategy, operations and technology into solutions that perform in the real world. We collaborate with biopharmaceutical manufacturers to navigate complexity, scale with confidence and deliver timely, sustainable access to therapies that improve patients' lives.

The Director, AI Strategy & Business Transformation is responsible for turning AI and business transformation strategy into measurable results. This leader will own and drive the AI and transformation roadmap, translating business priorities, emerging technologies, and operational opportunities into improvements in growth, productivity, quality, employee experience, client value, and patient access.
