• Manage project budgets, draft Statements of Work (SOWs), and oversee client invoicing and financial summaries
• Synthesize findings into actionable insights and recommendations for clients, presenting complex technical information with clarity and impact
• Lead internal initiatives related to product development, process improvement, and team growth
• Provide mentorship and professional development support to junior team members; act as a Professional Development Manager where applicable
• Foster an inclusive and innovative team culture, collaborating with cross‑functional teams—including global teams—across multiple time zones

Qualifications

• At least 6 years of professional experience, with a focus on master data or commercial data strategy in the US pharma/life sciences industry
• Proven track record implementing HCP, HCO, or payer MDM platforms
• Strong knowledge of MDM systems (e.g., Reltio) and data integration technologies
• Proficiency in Python and advanced Excel; strong command of PowerPoint and Word
• Exceptional communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders
• Strong project and people management skills; ability to lead cross‑functional teams
• Deep understanding of data governance, data quality, and commercial data flows in pharma
