Own intake and workflow management for research requests from the Strategy Enablement Team (SET), including scope definition, prioritization, and resource planning.
Act as a trusted thought partner to senior stakeholders, synthesizing complex findings into clear implications and recommendations.
Identify emerging trends, unmet information needs, and best practices across healthcare markets, analytics, and competitive intelligence.
Contribute to the evolution of research frameworks, market taxonomies, and knowledge assets used across Strategic Market Assessments.
Ensure all outputs meet high standards of documentation, narrative clarity, and executive‑level presentation.
Master’s degree in Business, Life Sciences, Economics, Public Health, or a related field.
9–12 years of relevant experience in market research, strategic insights, competitive intelligence, analytics, or consulting, with strong exposure to healthcare and/or pharmaceutical domains.
Demonstrated experience managing mid‑sized research or analytics teams in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment.
Experience working across multiple therapeutic areas, healthcare verticals, or value‑chain segments is strongly preferred.
Strong grounding in market research methodologies, including secondary research rigor, primary research design, and data triangulation.

Familiarity with leading healthcare and life sciences data sources such as IQVIA, Evaluate Pharma, Citeline, Definitive Healthcare, Symphony Health / Metys, IPD Analytics, public registries, PitchBook, and Capital IQ.
Advanced Excel skills for market sizing, forecasting, and scenario analysis.
Strong SQL proficiency for querying, validating, and integrating structured datasets.
Working knowledge of Databricks or comparable analytics environments; experience with Power BI or similar BI tools is a plus.
Ability to guide teams toward scalable, well‑documented, and auditable analytical outputs.
