Responsibilities

Own and lead market research

  • Develop and own market research roadmap, prioritizing the most important business questions about launch performance, support indication expansion, customer segmentation, forecast inputs, competitive response, and landscape assessment, including syndicated reports. Address these questions through research with healthcare professionals (HCPs), patients, and allied healthcare professionals.
  • Independently translate business questions into research objectives and select fit-for-purpose qualitative and quantitative approaches. Scope and design research instruments, including survey instruments, discussion guides, stimuli, presentations, and other relevant deliverables.
  • Proactively drive thoughtful analytics leveraging market research data to uncover actionable insights that inform business decisions.

Deliver insights that drive decisions

  • Analyze and synthesize research into clear, concise stories that answer the business question, explain the implications, and recommend action tied to business impact.
  • Deliver presentations to senior leadership and cross-functional teams with clarity and command.
  • Where relevant, integrate primary research with secondary data analytics, and competitive intelligence to give stakeholders a holistic view of the market and the brand.

Manage execution and vendors

  • Execute research in accordance with applicable data privacy, data governance, fair market value, and external stakeholder engagement requirements, coordinating with relevant internal partners throughout study design and execution.
  • Manage multiple concurrent projects to timelines and quality standards.
  • Drive and monitor analytics with research vendors, critically evaluating methods, data quality, analysis, and interpretation to ensure technical rigor, accuracy, relevance, and meticulous quality across all deliverables.
  • Provide input into vendor selection; lead day-to-day vendor communication and oversight; ensure alignment with business needs and on-time delivery; and raise risks and issues early.

Partner across the business

  • 8+ years of market research or insights experience, with hands-on experience supporting a product launch and tracking performance in a dynamic market. Pharmaceutical or biotech, consulting experience is preferred; experience supporting a launch is ideal.
  • Advanced expertise in designing and executing both qualitative and quantitative primary research, with the judgment to choose the right methodology and to interpret directional vs. statistically significant results.
  • Proven ability to independently own research projects end to end, from scoping to final readout, with minimal oversight.
  • Ability to synthesize complex data into a clear story and a recommendation, and to present it with confidence to senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to interpret secondary data and integrate it with primary research, including assessing data limitations.
  • Strong critical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to proactively clarify business context and make trade-off recommendations.

  • Experience in competitive intelligence, including tracking competitor developments and translating them into implications for the brand.
  • Experience in rare disease, specialty, or nephrology/immunology markets.
  • Experience applying emerging AI methods to research and insights (e.g., text analytics, AI-assisted synthesis, advanced segmentation), and comfort exploring new tools and approaches to improve speed and efficiency.
