  • Minimum of 5 years working in a regulated environment, such as pharma.
  • Proven ability to deliver complex platform enhancements and business process improvements.
  • Hands-on software engineering, integrations, and platform configuration skills.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the technical lead for Quality Oversight platforms.
  • Partner with Product Management to discover and orchestrate strategic platform enhancements.
  • Design innovative solutions through rapid prototyping and feedback.

Benefits

  • Employees at Elanco are often offered competitive compensation with annual bonus and equity eligibility, retirement plans (including a U.S. 401(k)), and comprehensive health coverage—medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability—and even pet insurance. Time-off and flexibility typically include generous PTO, U.S. mid-year and year-end paid shutdown weeks, parental leave, and flexible/remote work options.
