Senior Director - Risk Insights Architect

At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first.

We’re looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world.

Lilly's Integrated Risk Management (IRM) program is a strategic enterprise initiative that transforms traditional risk management into a competitive advantage by uniting cross-functional expertise with pioneering analytics and technology. IRM enables faster, better informed decision-making that protects what matters most: our operations, reputation, and ability to deliver life-saving medicines to patients. This integrated approach creates a coordinated and proactive system that helps Lilly stay resilient and agile as we continue reaching more patients than ever before.

The Risk Insights Architect serves as the strategic link between risk functions and analytics capabilities: coordinating enterprise strategies, performing sophisticated risk event analysis, and generating executive-level insights that help inform leadership decisions at the highest levels of the organization. This role operates at the intersection of technical analytics expertise and strategic business insight, translating enterprise risk portfolios into compelling narratives that drive action and influence strategic decisions across Lilly's leadership.

As a senior member of the centralized IRM Insights Hub team, you will co‑own the enterprise risk analytics strategy and roadmap, partnering with risk owners and business leaders across risk functions to identify priorities, coordinate entrepreneurial initiatives, and ensure analytics capabilities align with strategic business objectives. You will lead horizon‑scanning initiatives to identify emerging risks before they materialize, perform sophisticated risk‑event investigations that reveal root causes and potential systemic vulnerabilities, and develop ground‑breaking strategies that fundamentally improve how Lilly identifies and mitigates risk across the organization.

This role requires the ability to move seamlessly between detailed technical analysis and executive communication, coaching team members while influencing senior leaders, and balancing immediate operational needs with long‑term strategic vision. You will be instrumental in positioning IRM as a strategic differentiator and competitive advantage rather than a traditional risk management function, directly giving to business outcomes that help protect and further enable Lilly's mission.
