  • Proactive Data Insights: Proactively identify and present valuable, innovative ways to utilize the data, providing insights into emerging applications and trends in RWD.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with internal scientists, analysts, and product teams to ensure data delivery aligns with client needs and scientific rigor.
  • Technical Documentation and Reporting: Create and maintain documentation and guidance materials to support the client’s independent data exploration and use, above and beyond what is maintained by the data products team.
  • Business Development: Support business development team in proposal and SOW content related to data license opportunities and partner with BD to identify potential novel opportunities with existing clients.

What Experience You'll Bring

  • RWE-Specific Experience: 5 years of direct experience in RWE, involving real-world data (RWD) analysis, study design, regulatory submissions, or evidence generation.
  • Leadership Experience: 3 years in leadership roles, such as managing cross-functional teams, leading projects, or overseeing strategy and execution of RWE initiatives.
  • Technical Proficiency: Knowledge of RWD sources (e.g., EMR, claims data), data standards, and analytical techniques. Familiarity with query language and/or statistical software (e.g., SQL, SAS, R, Python).
  • Client Engagement Skills: Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with a proven track record of client-facing responsibilities, especially in data-related training or scientific consulting with biopharma clients.
  • Analytical Expertise: Skilled in conducting data feasibility assessments and translating complex datasets into actionable insights.
  • Innovation and Problem-Solving: Ability to think proactively and identify novel ways to leverage RWD to answer research questions and provide client value.
