The Associate Director, Strategic Resourcing acts as a trusted advisor to MHI leadership, driving portfolio prioritization and resource strategy to maximize impact. The role structures trade-offs, develops scenario-based recommendations, and shapes operating practices to align capacity, capabilities, and timing with strategic priorities and financial guardrails—partnering closely with Finance while focusing on business decisions and outcomes. The position co-owns resourcing-related elements of the functional planning calendar (e.g., prioritization forums, demand/capacity cycles) without owning financial reconciliation or close.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with internal stakeholders across the Medical Affairs & Health Impact Organization to address critical business challenges and develop strategic prioritization and resourcing solutions to ensure both short- and long-term success.
• Lead cross-functional prioritization and capacity trade-offs across the MHI portfolio, using structured decision frameworks and clearly defined guardrails aligned to strategy and affordability.
• Manage core financial processes—including annual and long-term resource and financial planning, demand forecasting, reconciliation, and capacity analysis—to ensure alignment with corporate and functional objectives.
• Support business development activities by collaborating on deal modeling and integration, including analysis of resource needs and transition planning for newly acquired assets.
• Build and maintain scenario-based models of demand vs. supply (capacity, skills mix, timing) to inform build/buy/partner strategies, outsourcing approaches, and sequencing.
• Create clear dashboards, visualizations, and summaries that elevate insights, risks, and options for senior stakeholders.
• Benchmark resourcing practices within R&D/Medical Affairs and relevant industries; incorporate best practices into MHI processes, tooling, and methodologies. Identify and implement improvements that reduce decision cycle time and increase capacity alignment to strategic priorities.
• Drive cross-functional alignment by facilitating workshops and working sessions that resolve priorities, interdependencies, and resource conflicts.
• Identify resourcing risks (capacity constraints, skill gaps, timing conflicts) and propose mitigation strategies. Ensure decisions remain within approved financial authorizations and governance standards.
