• Turn business challenges into analytics priorities and actionable insights that support customer excellence and commercial outcomes.
• Advance reporting and commercial analytics: encourage adoption of global visualization tools, transition appropriate Excel reporting to Power BI, and apply consistent data-modeling and design standards.
• Bring together sales, market-share, customer, competitor and field data to help brand teams understand trends, opportunities and risks.
• Strengthen omnichannel and CRM analytics by maintaining customer-data structures and assessing HCP reach, engagement, content and channel effectiveness across personal and digital channels.
• Develop and test advanced analytics and AI solutions to address local data-quality, reporting and decision-support needs in partnership with business and technical teams.
• Promote data literacy and analytics best practices across the affiliate.
• Lead cross-functional projects from planning through adoption, aligning stakeholders and managing scope, milestones, roles, risks and communications.
• Support data governance and quality by integrating and documenting data sources and storage solutions, and maintaining appropriate controls for accuracy, consistency, security, usability and validation.
• Support compliance by monitoring applicable requirements and providing guidance or training to integrated teams when needed.

Qualifications

What you’ll bring

• A degree in Economics, Business Administration, Statistics, Data Analytics, Computer Science or a related field—or equivalent experience.
• At least seven years of experience working with data, ideally in the pharmaceutical industry, either in a consulting role or within a pharmaceutical organization.
• A strong track record of translating strategic business questions into robust analysis, actionable insights and measurable recommendations.
• Hands-on experience with data visualization and analytics tools, particularly Power BI and Palantir Foundry-based platforms, including Contour.
• Strong capabilities in data modeling, dashboard development, Excel and presentation design.
• The ability to communicate complex findings clearly and tell compelling, evidence-based stories with data.
• Good understanding of data science, AI and machine learning concepts, as well as data privacy and regulatory frameworks.
• Experience with pharmaceutical data sources such as IQVIA and customer platforms such as Veeva CRM is preferred.
• Strong stakeholder and project-management skills, with the ability to build alignment and encourage teams to adopt data tools and insights.
