Associate Director - Field Analytics and Insights

The Associate Director, Field Analytics and Insights, is a key member of the Commercialization Analytics and Operations team at PharmaEssentia USA and reports to the Senior Director, Commercialization Operations. This newly created role will lead the development and application of U.S. national and subnational field analytics for all customer-facing teams. The position will focus on framing high-value business questions, integrating and analyzing complex data, identifying performance drivers and opportunities, and translating findings into actionable recommendations that improve field execution and the customer experience in support of BESREMi® and PE-CX priorities.

In this role, you will collaborate primarily with PE-CX and Sales leaders, as well as with other commercial functions, global stakeholders, and external partners. You will combine CRM, claims, specialty pharmacy, specialty distribution, digital, and other data sources to evaluate sales execution, channel performance, customer engagement, and business impact. Reports and dashboards will serve as scalable tools for insight generation and decision-making rather than as stand-alone deliverables.

This position requires a strategic, hands-on analytics leader who can independently conduct analyses, develop measurement frameworks, communicate clear recommendations, and influence business decisions. The role will also maintain and improve essential business-as-usual reporting, establish data-quality standards, and advance a forward-looking analytics and KPI roadmap for account managers, regional directors, market access leaders, medical science liaisons, thought leader liaisons, sales teams, and other customer-facing roles. This role currently has no direct reports and requires approximately 15–20% travel.

If you thrive in an agile, analytics-driven environment and are motivated to support the emerging capabilities of PharmaEssentia’s PE-CX team, we invite you to apply for this opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
