The opportunity

We are seeking a highly experienced and detail‑oriented AI Model Evaluation Consultant with strong expertise in working alongside AI/ML models, Generative AI (GenAI) systems, and multi‑agent workflows within GxP‑regulated and quality‑critical environments. The ideal candidate will ensure the reliability, fairness, robustness, and regulatory compliance of AI solutions while engaging directly with cross‑functional teams in designing, testing, and maintaining production‑ready, inspection‑ready AI systems.

This role is responsible for leading AI model consultation and development activities across the full model lifecycle, including model integration, training, testing, deployment, and post‑deployment monitoring, in alignment with GxP principles, risk‑based validation, and data integrity expectations. The consultant will play a key role in embedding Responsible AI, quality‑by‑design, and governance‑by‑design practices, enabling the safe, trustworthy, and explainable use of AI and agent‑based solutions in regulated life sciences and pharmaceutical contexts.

Your key responsibilities

• Work on development of AI/ML and Agentic AI strategies by providing analysis, validation insights, and readiness assessments.
• Perform AI/ML model integration, evaluation and validation across development, training, testing, and deployment phases.
• Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to identify model improvement opportunities and risk mitigations.
• Design and execute testing strategies for AI agents and multi‑agent workflows, covering orchestration logic, tool invocation, and output validation.
• Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to identify model improvement opportunities and risk mitigations.
• Document evaluation results, limitations, risks, and acceptance criteria in a clear, audit‑ready manner.
• Develop or review validation plans, user and functional requirements, risk assessments, requirements traceability matrices, test protocols, test evidence, deviation records, and validation summary reports.
• Establish acceptance criteria for data quality and model performance, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, F1 score, calibration, error rates, and other measures appropriate to the use case.
• Execute or independently review functional, integration, regression, negative, boundary, security-role, audit-trail, data-reconciliation, and user-acceptance testing for AI-enabled workflows.
• Challenge model reliability through reproducibility, robustness, bias, subgroup-performance, explainability, stress, and edge-case testing, with clear documentation of limitations and residual risk.
• Define production monitoring for model performance, data and concept drift, anomalous outputs, override patterns, human review, complaints, incidents, and other signals that may trigger investigation or revalidation.
• Evaluate proposed model updates, retraining, prompt changes, knowledge-base changes, infrastructure changes, and vendor releases through formal change control and impact assessment.
• Ability to perform root cause analysis for hallucinations, inaccurate outputs, agent failures, latency issues, and unexpected model behaviour.
• Assess model behavior across datasets, edge cases, and failure scenarios to identify bias, drift, and instability.
• Understand ML Fundamentals - Strong grasp of classification, regression, clustering, anomaly detection, and model performance metrics (Precision, Recall, F1, AUC).
• Evaluate LLM and GenAI Systems - Experience measuring accuracy, completeness, relevance, groundedness, faithfulness, consistency, and task completion.
• Analyze Drift and Model Performance - Ability to identify and investigate data drift, concept drift, model drift, and performance degradation in production environments.
• Assess RAG-Based Solutions - Understand retrieval pipelines and be able to evaluate retrieval quality, citation accuracy, and response grounding.
• Work with AI Observability Platforms - Experience with AI monitoring, tracing, evaluation logging, dashboards, and observability tools such as Langfuse, LangSmith, Arize, WhyLabs, MLflow, or similar platforms.
• Use LangChain, LangGraph, and Langfuse for agent workflows, observability, traceability, and evaluation logging.
