• Secondary Data Integration: Compile, analyze, and visualize findings from secondary marketing and sales data (including identification and appropriate use of data sources) in partnership with Analytics colleagues.
• Brand Health and Voice of Customer: Coordinate insights metrics and benchmark tracking (e.g., ATU, Chart Audit), ensuring the perspectives of HCPs and consumers are clearly represented in brand decisions.
• Competitive Intelligence Leadership: Lead US commercial competitive intelligence for launched and launching treatments, providing early warning on market dynamics and strategic implications.
• Integrated Insight Narrative: Create a unified insights picture by weaving together primary research, secondary analysis, and advanced analytics from cross-functional partners.
• Data Access and AI/Dashboard Integration: Manage data access for enterprise projects and coordinate integration of AI systems and dashboarding/reporting updates that improve visibility and decision speed.
• Continuous Improvement and Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with the Senior Director and cross-functional leaders to refine processes and build systems that enable efficient, high-quality output for strategic decision-making.

• 2+years of primary market research and analytical experience applying varied primary research techniques and secondary information analysis
• Proven ability to influence laterally and vertically
• Strong understanding of primary market research tools and techniques
• Experience with novel AI methodologies

Desirable Skills/Experience:

• Advanced degree in a quantitative field or Advanced Marketing Degree (e.g., MBA)

• Insights launch experience with a new brand or indication
• Experience working in Oncology
• Experience leading cross-functional teams
