Title: AI Project Delivery Lead

Location: Lebanon, IN (Onsite 3+ days/week)

Duration: 6–8 month contract

MOI: Virtual

Client:  Eli Lilly  - Big pharma C2C

Responsibilities:

•      Drive end-to-end delivery of AI solutions across LP1 manufacturing — including C&Q AI, PSM AI, advanced analytics, and project schedule automations

•      Lead adoption and local activation of global AI products (e.g. enterprise agents, advanced dashboards, "process team of the future" initiatives)

•      Identify and scope AI opportunities across site functions (ops, quality, HSE, etc.) — building a holistic use case pipeline, not one-off projects

•      Coordinate synthetic data generation / data simulation efforts to support AI development in a greenfield environment

•      Enable self-service AI solutions and support Claude project/skill development for site teams

•      Design and deliver specialized AI upskilling — targeted content for SLT, D&D team, and cross-functional partners

•      Build a sustainable AI knowledge base and site guidance documentation that outlives the contract

•      Participate in and contribute to Office Hours; gather wins and evangelize AI value across the site

•      Pull in Lilly technical SMEs as needed — you're orchestrating, not building models solo

Skills & Qualifications:

•      Proven ability to lead AI/ML solution delivery in a project management or product delivery capacity — not necessarily hands-on engineering

•      Strong enough technical fluency to ask the right questions, evaluate approaches, and hold vendors/SMEs accountable

•      Tool-agnostic mindset — comfortable navigating across Claude, Copilot, Power Platform, Python ecosystems, and whatever fits the problem

•      Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills — this role lives cross-functionally

•      Experience driving technology adoption and change management, ideally in manufacturing or regulated (GxP) environments

•      Ability to translate technical AI concepts into business value for non-technical audiences

•      Self-starter who can operate with autonomy in a fast-moving greenfield site
