Senior Director, Solution Architect- Life Sciences

Publicis Sapient is seeking a Solution Architect with deep experience in life sciences and pharmaceutical organizations to support strategic growth within a large, global enterprise account.

This role sits at the intersection of data strategy, marketing technology, and commercial engagement. You will operate as a trusted, client-embedded partner, helping shape solution direction across audience intelligence, data integration, and activation use cases while identifying growth opportunities through technical credibility, industry expertise, and strong business acumen.

While the primary objective of this role is to enable and accelerate account growth, this role is an advisory and delivery-oriented rather than traditional sales role. Success in this role comes from trust, insight, and the ability to connect business needs to technically sound, compliant solutions that drive measurable outcomes.

• Technical background with experience in data architecture, marketing technology ecosystems, or complex digital solutions
• Demonstrated experience working within or selling into large pharmaceutical or life sciences enterprises.
• Experience supporting account growth, solution sales, or pre-sales in a consultative capacity.
• Strong understanding of healthcare data ecosystems—including audience platforms, CDPs, clean rooms (e.g., AWS Clean Rooms, Live Ramp, Epsilon, InfoSum), identity solutions, and activation channels.
• Familiarity with HCP engagement models, CRM platforms, and omnichannel marketing orchestration
• Experience building and enhancing client relationships and proven ability to influence senior stakeholders through credibility and insight.
• Comfort switching between strategic, commercial, and detailed technical conversations.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams distributed across regions and time zones.
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Self-starter mindset with strong ownership and accountability

Preferred Experience

• Background in management consulting, digital transformation, or systems integration – particularly with a healthcare or life sciences specialty practice
• Experience with agentic or orchestration platforms that integrate third-party marketing technologies.
• Exposure to outcomes-based or performance-based commercial models
• Experience supporting large-scale transformation initiatives in complex, matrixed organizations.

Level:  Director/Senior Director

Salary Range:  $180,000 - $250,000

• An inclusive workplace that promotes diversity and collaboration.
• Access to ongoing learning and development opportunities.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Flexibility to support work-life balance.
• Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family.
• Generous paid leave and holidays.
• Wellness program and employee assistance.
