Purpose: As Associate Director, AI Marketing Enablement, you will not only scale the adoption of AI-powered marketing capabilities, but you will also help define how marketers work in the future. You will partner directly with brand teams to activate and operationalize the enterprise AI marketing roadmap, translating emerging capabilities into real-world impact.
You will serve as the dedicated enablement lead for a specific therapeutic area (e.g., IMM, ONC, NS), driving how AI marketing capabilities are adopted and applied across its brands.
You will act as a bridge between innovation and execution - bringing new ideas to life, challenging the status quo, and continuously pushing teams to rethink how work gets done. This role requires curiosity, experimentation, and a bias for action in a fast-evolving space.
Success in this role requires strong strategic thinking, influence without authority, and a passion for learning and applying new technologies. The ideal candidate is comfortable navigating ambiguity, testing and iterating, and driving measurable impact in a highly regulated environment.
This position will report to the Director, AI Marketing Innovation.

- Build strong relationships with brand teams to drive engagement, trust, and sustained adoption
Cross-Functional Orchestration & External Perspective
- Serve as the key connector across marketing, MLR, IT, product teams, and external partners
- Manage external vendors while ensuring alignment to J&J priorities and long-term capability strategy (best in class capabilities)
- Continuously scan the external market for emerging AI capabilities, tools, and partners to ensure best-in-class solutions and avoid vendor lock-in
