Job Description

-------------------

Business Lead, AI-native Discovery Automation & Robotics

Takeda is transforming how medicines are discovered by building a new Research engine where AI, advanced data platforms, and laboratory automation are embedded directly into how scientists design and discover molecules, run experiments, and make decisions. Our Labs of Tomorrow vision connects computational science, scientific data, and automated experimental workflows into a closed-loop discovery engine that will enable us to design smarter studies, shorten learning cycles, and deliver clearer evidence earlier in discovery with the ultimate goal of discovering differentiated medicines for patients.

The Business Lead, AI-native Discovery Automation & Robotics is central to realizing this vision. The scientist will be responsible for Takeda's next-generation laboratory orchestration AI-native software product: owning the scientific vision, customer experience, product strategy, roadmap, adoption, and ultimately the value it creates for our drug discovery. The Business Lead will define and answer what the intelligently orchestrated automated laboratory should be in a future where AI agents, predictive models, and scientific data direct experimental execution, and where robotic workflows, sample logistics, manual steps, and the troubleshooting that laboratory work demands are planned and run as one production floor. Our ambition is for this product to become the environment through which Takeda's laboratories plan, execute, and continuously improve experimental work around the clock.
