• Supporting updates of project logs and workflow tracking systems.
• Continuously improving knowledge of data processing tools, tabulation best practices, and healthcare market research processes.

• Exposure to or understanding of survey scripting tools and data structures is a plus.
• Experience working with survey data formats (e.g., XML, CSV) and knowledge of relational databases and data structure management.
• Understanding of quantitative research methodologies, questionnaire structures, and healthcare market research best practices.
• Demonstrable experience working with senior and junior team members.
• Problem‑solving skills, especially for analytical judgment and establishing best‑practice solutions.
• Excellent analytical and numerical skills.
• Strong communication skills, particularly the ability to explain technical points to non‑technical people in a global environment.
• High attention to detail with a strong focus on data accuracy and consistency.
• Logical thinking and ability to troubleshoot errors or discrepancies in tabulated data.
• Ability to interpret tabulation specifications and apply them accurately.

Ideal Candidate
