Within Specialty Care, with a focus on rare diseases, onco‑immunology, and neurology, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the patients and families we serve. Sanofi’s Specialty Care portfolio of transformative therapies, which are marketed in countries around the world, represent groundbreaking and life‑saving advances in medicine. Sanofi employees benefit from the reach and resources of one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies with a shared commitment to improving the lives of patients.

The successful Associate Director, Real World Evidence (RWE) Analytics will provide programming support and senior oversight to the implementation of analyses and studies in large databases (e.g. administrative claims, electronic health records).

These responsibilities require a strong background in data sciences, including statistics and programming. Experience leading studies and analyses that use observational research design and secondary data, experience with secondary data sources such as administrative claims and electronic health records in the US, and experience in the pharmaceutical industry are required. Experience guiding more junior team members through the implementation of analyses is a must. This position will report to the Rapid Analytics and Statistics Team Lead.

• Assess study feasibility in a variety of data sources available for analysis, including new or less familiar data
  • Propose and conduct exploratory analyses that allow deep understanding of a data source at hand (e.g., ability to generate insights and visualize output that allows researchers to make decisions about study feasibility and study design).
  • Analyze data based on provided definitions using traditional programming or other digital applications.
• Characterize disease epidemiology, burden of disease, rates of pre‑specified outcomes based on diagnostic codes and/or treatment codes using descriptive and comparative study designs
  • Review relevant literature for methods, lists of codes or validated algorithms.
  • Create statistical analysis plans and table shells from study protocols.
  • Analysis of data using traditional programming or other digital applications.
  • Develop algorithms, such as lines of therapy for oncology.
  • Perform traditional modeling approaches, including regression and time‑to‑event analyses.
  • Report results in the form of study tables, dashboards, or slide decks.
  • Communicate results to stakeholders.
