Job Abstract

Location: Gaithersburg, MD onsite (3 days onsite minimum per week)

The Global Analytics & Insights mission is to improve the quality of the decisions taken on our oncology assets through the creation and delivery of excellent market, customer, and competitor analytics. This role will lead the pursuit of industry insight and analytics for a late-stage brand and earlier-stage assets within the lung portfolio.

The key to excelling is your ability to turn analysis into a clear story and recommendations for senior leaders. To develop these, you will be a critical thinker capable of delivering well-researched, verified, and relevant analyses in a clear and impactful way. This requires the ability to lead without authority alongside strong analytical and communication skills. Be comfortable formulating cohesive, strategic arguments intended to be used to respectfully challenge a group of experts. If you are resourceful, motivated, decisive, and proactive then this role is made for you! You must be able to handle multiple priorities in a fast-growing organization and be confident working with incomplete data.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we spark bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace, and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and bold world.
