  • Communicate analytical findings with appropriate nuance, avoiding over interpretation while preserving strategic relevance 
  • Support client discussions by explaining methodology, assumptions, and limitations in clear, confident language 

Disease Area Research and Clinical Contextualization 

  • Conduct self-directed research into disease states relevant to client engagements 
  • Document and apply understanding of epidemiology, patient demographics, symptomology, comorbidities, diagnostic pathways, treatments, and procedures 
  • Integrate clinical context into cohort design, patient journey logic, and analytical interpretation 

Methodology and Solution Design 

  • Contributes to the development of analytical strategies and methodologies for leveraging medical claims and RWE data in Pharma commercial and medical use cases 
  • Collaborate with senior Analytics leadership to design scalable frameworks for patient identification, segmentation, and longitudinal analysis 
  • Apply creative problem solving to combine multiple claims and RWE datasets to address complex or non-standard client questions 

 

Required Qualifications 

  • Bachelor of Science degree in quantitative, scientific, or technical discipline 
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in healthcare analytics, healthcare consulting, or medical claims-based analysis 
  • Strong hands-on experience working with open and closed commercial healthcare datasets

  • High proficiency in Microsoft PowerPoint and Word with strong attention to narrative structure and detail 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences 

 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Advanced degree in life sciences, public health, biostatistics, data science, or related field 
  • Experience supporting Pharma commercial analytics, market access, or medical affairs use cases 
  • Prior experience acting as a bridge between analytics teams and clients facing stakeholders 
  • Strong understanding of longitudinal patient journey construction and provider interaction mapping 
  • Experience reviewing and validating analytical work produced by data science teams 

 

Additional Information

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
