Iovance Biotherapeutics - AI Strategy Associate

• Help build a comprehensive AI use case diagnostic across all business functions. Conduct structured stakeholder interviews, identify AI-addressable pain points, and document use cases with enough detail for technical teams to build from. • Build and maintain the AI savings model — a lever-by-lever, P&L-line-by-P&L-line financial model that quantifies the savings potential of validated AI use cases. • Design and execute controlled comparisons (human-only vs. AI-assisted, same task, same inputs) to validate that AI solutions deliver the time, quality, or error-rate improvements the financial model assumes. • Manage the use case prioritization framework. Score and rank use cases against savings levers, implementation feasibility, and time-to-value. Enforce the gate: no P&L mapping means no prioritization. • Write use case specifications detailed enough for the development team to build from — including user workflow, success metrics, integration requirements, and savings methodology. • Build rough prototypes and proof-of-concept demos using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, or similar) to validate use cases with stakeholders before passing them to engineering. You do not need to be a developer, but you should be able to vibe-code a working demo that shows “this is what it could look like” and gets real user reactions. • Support the AI governance process by preparing use case briefs for governance committee review, documenting approval decisions, and tracking maturity-level progression for deployed solutions. • Supervise and quality-check the work of AI Transformation Interns conducting discovery interviews and cost audits. • Must adhere to Iovance Biotherapeutics’ core values, policies, procedures, and business ethics. • Perform miscellaneous duties as assigned. • Travel • Minimal.

You should be able to take messy inputs from multiple sources and produce a defensible savings estimate. • Strong stakeholder management skills. You will interview VPs, department heads, and C-suite executives. You need to ask sharp questions, listen carefully, and translate qualitative pain into quantitative impact. • Experience conducting structured interviews or diagnostic assessments across multiple business functions. Consulting-style discovery is exactly what this role requires. • Excellent written communication. You will produce use case specifications, governance briefs, and executive summaries that need to be clear, specific, and actionable. • Proficiency in Excel (financial modeling, pivot tables, scenario analysis) and PowerPoint (executive-ready presentations). • Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
