• Drive Data-Driven Development: Actively contribute to and implement quantitative drug development strategies, leveraging data science to enable critical, evidence-based decisions across our product pipeline.

• Ensure Patient Voice Integrity: Collaborate with therapeutic area teams to ensure the patient voice and experience are robustly captured using evidence-based tools, modern methodologies, and a focus on both COAs and digital health measures.

• Influence Strategy and Leadership: Depending on level, take the lead on measurement strategies for a specific molecule, indication, or multiple studies, supporting cross-functional development initiatives and potentially guiding a smaller franchise area.

• Advance Scientific and Technical Knowledge: Apply expertise to develop or refine fit-for-purpose PCOM strategies, assisting with strategic and analytical activities for novel molecules and digital medical devices.

• Execute Rigorous Research and Documentation: Execute detailed research plans, contributing to key validation studies, literature reviews, and the preparation of comprehensive health authority documentation and regulatory packages.

• Modernize Measurement: Support the continuous improvement of PCOR methodologies, processes, and tools across DEPCS, exploring new innovative tools and technologies to modernize insight generation.

• Expand Expertise and Collaboration: Build deep expertise in novel data types, statistical methods, advanced analytics, and data handling methods, while contributing to broader scientific advancement through authorship and participation in industry consortia.

Who You Are:

• Educational Foundation: You hold a Master's or PhD in Psychology, Public Health, Biomedical Sciences, or a closely related field.

• Core Experience: You bring a minimum of 2-4 years of experience (or 0-2 years with an advanced degree) supporting outcomes research, clinical trials, or digital endpoint development, ideally within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.

• PCOR & Measurement Skills: You are familiar with psychometric validation, eCOA system implementation, or the data-driven design of Clinical Outcome Assessment (COA) instruments.

• Regulatory & Lifecycle Knowledge: You possess a growing understanding of the end-to-end drug development lifecycle and evolving regulatory science, particularly as it relates to PCOR and digital endpoints.

• Collaboration & Communication: You demonstrate strong collaboration skills and proven experience working effectively in cross-functional settings with clinical, regulatory, data science, and access teams.

• Independent Contribution: You are able to independently contribute to critical study documents and evidence packages, demonstrating a capacity for independent, sound decision-making and problem-solving.

• Strategic Agility: You possess excellent strategic agility, critical thinking skills, and a global mindset, demonstrating respect for cultural differences when interacting with colleagues worldwide.
