* Inform strategic internal decision-making, thereby empowering differentiating R&D activities
* Support external decision making by supporting evidence needs for key stakeholder groups such as patients, regulators, policy makers, payers, and prescribers
* Contribute to the wider epidemiological and medical understanding of specific diseases

Working with the RWE data analyst team, the RWE strategy lead and internal stakeholders, the RWE expert represents RWE on various functional teams, including early/development solution teams, medical teams, patient safety, regulatory, market access/ HEOR, commercial/marketing and core launch teams.

* Represent RWE across different functional teams and promote scientifically sound RWE methods to various stakeholders.
* Drive innovative study designs, including new data sources and advanced analytics (incl. digital pharmacoepidemiology)

* Minimal requirement: Experience in having successfully delivered global and/or local RWE projects from conceptualisation to publication within the pharmaceutical industry (or with a recognised expert consultancy or academic centre of excellence), using primary as well as secondary data, such as large healthcare databases.
* Demonstrable publication record of high-quality research in relevant peer reviewed scientific and/or clinical journals
* Desirable/preferred experience: PhD in epidemiology, outcomes research or related fields.
* Depth and breadth of experience across a range of RWE study types and methodologies is a significant advantage.
