·       Independently conduct analyses on structured and unstructured datasets, including HCP sentiment, scientific engagement, and publication data; validate results and explain key assumptions and limitations.

·       Build, enhance, and maintain dashboards, reports, and visualizations using tools such as Python, R, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, or similar platforms; ensure outputs are accurate, usable, and aligned with stakeholder needs.

·       Apply a working understanding of the pharmaceutical data ecosystem, including prescription data (e.g., IQVIA NPA), outlet data (e.g., IQVIA DDD), lab data, and medical or pharmacy claims (e.g., Symphony Claims), to assess data suitability and limitations for analytical questions.

·       Contribute to defining and monitoring KPIs by assessing performance trends, investigating meaningful changes, and communicating relevant implications to stakeholders.

·       Own scoped ad hoc analyses from clarification of the business question through data preparation, exploratory analysis, interpretation, and communication of findings.

·       Develop and maintain reusable code components, analytical templates, and documentation that improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability of analytics work.

·       Collaborate with data science, IT, engineering, and external partners to coordinate data access, resolve quality issues, and support appropriate governance across systems.

·       Manage assigned analytical work within Agile workflows by refining requirements, breaking work into deliverables, tracking timelines and dependencies, raising risks early, and delivering iteratively with appropriate stakeholder updates.

·       Identify and apply relevant techniques in visualization, analytics, and automation, recommending practical improvements to reporting and analytical processes.
