Role Overview

Product Research & Development (PR&D;) CTI-MD

Product Research & Development (PR&D;) owns the CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) data that underpins every regulatory submission, batch investigation, and process decision across Lilly's development portfolio, spanning structured systems (LIMS, MES, DMS, ELN) and unstructured scientific content (protocols, batch records, investigation reports). The function operates under strict GxP, data integrity, and audit-readiness requirements. The Technical Lead Architect (R5), PR&D;, builds and owns the Semantic Layer and Knowledge Graph that convert fragmented, siloed CMC data into a unified, ontology-driven foundation usable by both humans and AI agents - and the agentic layer that lets PR&D;'s agents reliably retrieve, reason over, and act on that foundation. This role is hands-on and implementation-heavy - building ontologies, triplets, knowledge graphs,



and agent orchestration directly - while also carrying business-facing accountability for the Semantic Layer roadmap and technical leadership of the engineers who build alongside them. This role ensures the Semantic Layer remains a PR&D-owned; strategic asset, maximizing reuse across data products, reducing fragmentation, and creating measurable business value through faster, more reliable AI-assisted scientific workflows.

Path/Level: R5 (Technical Lead Architect)
Key Responsibilities
- Unified Data Foundation - map structured, semi-structured, and unstructured CMC/PR&D; assets into a connected Knowledge Graph and Vector Database, using LLM-assisted tooling to accelerate ontology development and reduce manual curation.
- Multi-Ontology Design & Ownership - design and maintain multiple connected ontologies - a structured ontology and a business ontology - as PR&D-owned; artifacts.
- Triplet & Knowledge Graph Engineering - own end-to-end knowledge graph construction: entity/relationship extraction, triplet creation, triplet aggregation, triplet validation,
