Job summary

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine seeks a Senior Business Analyst, RDQ Quality, to partner with process owners and stakeholders to translate business needs into analytics, reporting, and automation. You will support inspection readiness, data-driven decisions, and continuous improvement across RDQ.

The role emphasizes building dashboards, data pipelines, and data models using SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and other platforms, with up to 5% travel and a focus on 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent required.
• Minimum 4 years of work experience in data analytics, management, or similar.
• Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and/or Medical Device industry experience.
• Experience gathering reporting requirements directly from business stakeholders and translating them into delivered reports.
• Experience with data modeling and building or maintaining data pipelines.
• Strong collaboration and influencing skills, with the ability to summarize and present results to senior audiences.

Responsibilities

• Partner with metric and process owners to understand business challenges, define reporting and analytics requirements, agree metric definitions, data sources, calculation logic, output format, and business ownership before build. Triage incoming requests, identify opportunities to reuse or improve existing reporting, and translate business needs into actionable deliverables.
• Operate the monthly and quarterly metrics cycle, including extraction, validation, calculation, review, publication, and issue follow-up. Maintain documented, reproducible processes, standardized definitions, visual conventions and filter logic, and investigate anomalies with process owners before publication.
• Serve as primary analyst for audit and inspection data, supporting inspection readiness through trend analysis, repeat-finding detection, proactive risk sensing, readiness gap analysis, and rapid evidence generation under time pressure.
• Build and maintain dashboards, data pipelines, data models, reconciliations, data dictionaries, lineage documentation, and support processes using approved analytics tools such as SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or other approved platforms.
• Evaluate emerging analytics, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities against real RDQ use cases, (e.g., M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Power Platform, RAG-based retrieval, agentic workflow support). Build or support proofs of concept that test feasibility, data readiness, compliance fit, and business value.
• Support adoption of delivered solutions by developing user guides and training, running office hours, providing hands-on user support, identifying process-owner champions, and monitoring usage so delivered capabilities convert into sustained business value.
• Execute assigned backlog items, support solution delivery, prepare and execute UAT scripts, log defects, verify releases, and coordinate day-to-day with offshore and vendor developers. Clarify requirements, confirm quality and documentation expectations, and verify output before business acceptance.
• Partner with JJIM Quality Data & Analytics, R&D stakeholders, enterprise platform owners, and other beneficiaries across IM and MedTech to align on requirements, support solution delivery, and ensure RDQ business needs are represented in broader initiatives.
• Prepare leadership-ready summaries, commentary, project decks and presentations that interpret results and create actionable insights addressing specific needs rather than solely present data.
• Automate manual reporting and data preparation activity, retire reports no longer used, and track capacity returned to the business.
• Apply data integrity, audit trail and 21 CFR Part 11 expectations to data handling and reporting outputs.
• Manage multiple concurrent requests with a high level of independence to ensure timely and accurate completion of activities.
