What is a Engineering Manager at UCB?
An Engineering Manager at UCB plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between cutting-edge biopharmaceutical innovation and world-class digital technology. Unlike traditional tech companies, UCB focuses on creating patient-centric solutions that improve the lives of people living with severe immunology and neurology conditions. In this role, you are not just managing code repositories or data pipelines; you are leading the development of digital ecosystems, patient support applications, and advanced data science platforms that directly impact clinical outcomes.
Depending on your specific alignment, you will drive key initiatives under specialized domains. For instance, as a Data Science Lead, you will lead teams that translate complex biological, clinical, and real-world data into actionable insights, helping accelerate drug discovery and optimize patient care pathways. Alternatively, as a Technical Lead, Patient Support Solutions, you will oversee the software architecture and engineering teams building the secure, compliant digital tools that patients rely on daily to manage their treatments.
This position requires a unique blend of technical mastery, people leadership, and stakeholder management. Because UCB operates in a highly regulated global environment, your engineering decisions must balance rapid innovation with strict data privacy, security, and compliance standards. It is an inspiring yet highly demanding role where your engineering leadership directly contributes to the company's core mission: creating value for patients.
