You'll shape and review study protocols, ensure methodological rigour, interpret complex data, and communicate insights that influence clinical, regulatory, and market decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality study protocols, analysis plans, and methodological frameworks for RWE studies.
• Design observational, retrospective, and prospective studies using diverse RWD sources (registries, EMR, claims, disease-specific datasets).

• 8+ years' experience in an RWE, epidemiology, HEOR, or pharmacoepidemiology role.
• Proven ability to design and write protocols for observational studies.
• Understanding of advanced epidemiological methods (e.g., causal inference, propensity methods, survival analysis).
• Experience interacting with biostatistical teams and cross-functional collaborators.
• Client-facing experience with pharmaceutical, biotech, or health research partners.
• Strong written communication skills (reports, abstracts, publications).

Preferred:

• Experience in rare diseases, oncology, or chronic disease research.
• Familiarity with global regulatory/HTA evidence requirements.
• Exposure to RWD such as claims, EMR, registries, or bespoke disease datasets.
• Experience in a small/medium consultancy or agile research organisation.

If you are passionate about generating rigorous, meaningful evidence that will transform real-world data into impactful insights that improve outcomes for patients, we’d love to speak with you.
