What we are looking for

ProcDNA is building out a dedicated Medical Affairs consulting and analytics practice. This role is one of the founding hires — someone who can operate as a strong engagement leader on live client work and help shape what the practice becomes, rather than stepping into an already‑defined book of business. Expect the balance of the job to skew toward proactive solutioning, point‑of‑view development, and offering‑building in year one, alongside hands‑on delivery..

What you will do

Practice Building & Solutioning

• Help define and continuously sharpen ProcDNA’s Medical Affairs Analytics point of view — identifying where evidence generation, field medical effectiveness, medical information/insight workflows, and emerging AI use cases create the biggest client opportunity.
• Convert client conversations and market signals into reusable frameworks, accelerators, and demo‑able assets the practice can reuse across pursuits, rather than one‑off engagement artifacts.
• Represent ProcDNA’s Medical Affairs point of view externally — industry forums (e.g., MAPS), webinars, published perspectives — to build the practice’s visibility and credibility in market.

Client Delivery & Relationship Management

• Lead Medical Affairs consulting engagements end‑to‑end across the product lifecycle — including analytics‑heavy workstreams (evidence gap analysis, KOL/insight analytics, field medical effectiveness, medical information/evidence workflows) — managing multiple concurrent projects with high delivery quality and measurable business impact.
• Own responsibility for work product quality and its relevance to client decision‑making.
• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders (typically Director/Senior Director level), and contribute meaningfully to expanding those accounts.
• Translate ambiguous business and scientific questions into structured analytical approaches that support both scientific and commercial decision‑making.

Analytics & Technical Execution

• Identify evidence gaps and answer scientific and business questions through hands‑on data analysis and research — this is a core, non‑negotiable part of the role.
• Apply strong analytical judgment across structured and unstructured data; hands‑on fluency in SQL, Python, Power BI or Tableau, and familiarity with Veeva (CRM/Vault) data structures required.
• GenAI/NLP application experience (e.g., unstructured medical insight mining, literature synthesis, content generation workflows) is a strong plus.

Team & Capability Building

• Mentor and coach consulting team members, setting the delivery and analytical quality bar for the practice.
• Contribute to internal capability building — recruiting, knowledge management, training content, and reusable IP — as a founding member of a growing practice.

Business Development Support

• Contribute to proposals, solution design, effort estimation, and client‑facing pursuit materials.
• Support senior leadership in client presentations and pursuit conversations; prepare executive‑ready analysis and materials.

Must Have

• 8+ years in Medical Affairs/life sciences consulting or an analogous analytics‑heavy consulting environment.
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with SQL, Python, and a BI tool (Power BI/Tableau); Veeva ecosystem exposure preferred.
• Track record of leading client engagements directly, not just contributing to them.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity — this role has more "define the approach" work than "execute the defined plan" work.
• Based in the US.
