RWE Senior Expert

Job Description

Job Summary:

• This is a senior-level RWE role within Real World Evidence (RWE) team.
• The position is opened due to a maternity leave, but the manager is open to continuing the collaboration beyond the replacement by reallocating the contractor to another mission internally.
• The role supports global RWE strategy and execution, working cross functionally with Safety, Evidence Synthesis, RWE Analysts, and multiple internal stakeholders.
• The domain is not disease specific, but dermatology experience can be an asset.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead and execute complex RWE studies (epidemiology, natural history, PASS/PAES, regulatory studies, external control arms, comparative effectiveness).
• Develop study concepts, protocols, SAPs, and ensure governance compliance.
• Interpret study results and communicate insights internally and externally.
• Collaborate with RWE Analysts, BQS, Safety, Evidence Synthesis, external vendors, and cross functional teams.
• Identify innovative designs, new data sources, and advanced analytics opportunities.
• Contribute to the RWE functional strategic plan with the RWE Strategy Lead.

Education and Experience:

• Master’s or PhD in Epidemiology (PhD preferred).
• Strong experience with real world data and RWE project execution.
• Strong quantitative/methodological background (epidemiology, biostatistics, pharmacoepidemiology, outcomes research).
• Experience communicating RWE results to diverse internal/external stakeholders.
• Ability to work cross functionally and autonomously in a senior role.
• Pharma experience (strong preference) — critical for understanding business needs and interacting effectively with internal functions (manager insight).

Years of Experience:

• Several years of proven experience in designing and delivering RWE projects (industry, consultancy, or academic center of excellence).
• Seniority required: ability to lead high complexity studies and engage effectively with cross functional stakeholders.
• Manager strongly prefers candidates with prior pharmaceutical industry experience.
• Skilled in scientific dissemination (abstracts, posters, manuscripts).
• Demonstrated ability to innovate and propose advanced methodological approaches.
• Able to challenge and defend methodological choices confidently with stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in Dermatology (not required but preferred when comparing similar profiles).
• Experience with hybrid study designs, external control arms, or regulatory driven RWE projects.

Language Requirements:

• Excellent English (written and spoken) required.
