Together, we help our clients:

About the Role

Norstella’s Real-World Data (RWD) team is seeking a mid-level Data Analyst with demonstrated expertise in real-world healthcare data. This role is designed for an analytically rigorous professional who applies critical thinking to each data engagement — evaluating source suitability, informing methodological decisions, and delivering outputs that reflect both technical precision and clinical reasoning.

The successful candidate will possess a thorough understanding of RWD source types and their respective limitations, and will be expected to make substantive, well-supported recommendations on data selection, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analytical approach. This individual will serve as a trusted technical resource for internal teams and client-facing stakeholders, translating complex requirements into sound data strategies while proactively identifying risks and driving issues to resolution.

While the role requires strong technical proficiency, candidates are expected to bring a consultative orientation to their work — engaging with client needs, contributing to product decisions, and consistently seeking to improve outcomes rather than simply executing against defined specifications.
