Job Description

For over 130 years, we have pioneered groundbreaking science.  Today, we are driven by continuous innovation to develop breakthrough medicines, vaccines and technology.  Rooted in direct experience on the farm and in the clinic, we work hand in hand with our customers every step of the way.

Our singular focus is to empower those who care for animals, helping them manage their vital responsibility with confidence.  Because when it comes to animal health, no one sees it like we do.

• Develop and maintain workflow solutions, taxonomies, and supporting system structures.
• Create intuitive, user-focused process documentation and experiences.
• Apply AI-driven approaches to improve operational efficiency and decision-making.
• Work with data and analytics to monitor performance and drive continuous improvement.
• Partner with business and IT stakeholders to deliver practical, scalable solutions.

What You'll Bring

• A builder mindset with a passion for creating solutions, not just identifying problems.
• Strong technical and analytical problem-solving skills.
• Experience with or strong interest in process intelligence, automation, and AI-enabled solutions.
• Hands-on experience with technologies such as SQL, Power Platform, Celonis, RPA, or similar tools.
• Ability to translate complex business challenges into practical, scalable solutions.
• Curiosity, creativity, and the confidence to challenge conventional thinking.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and business teams.

Education & Experience
