Job Description
Senior Manager, Data Science
This role involves working with our partners in different Therapeutic areas (e.g. Oncology, Vaccines, Chronic Care, etc) and Domain areas (Market Access, pricing, etc.) across the organization to help create scalable and production-grade analytics solutions, ranging from data visualization and reporting to advanced statistical and AI/ML models. You will be working with a scrum team comprising of data scientists, business analysts, subject matter experts, data engineers, and business partners to deliver well-defined projects across global oncology therapeutic areas. This role is catered to a generalist and supports a wide range of possible tasks. These include descriptive statistics, supporting data visualization platforms, building out machine learning and advanced statistical models, which will sometimes be from scratch, and sometimes be from an existing prototype. This will involve understanding essential statistical and programming methods that ensure low bias models and parameterizing and modularizing code to support future model scalability and efficiency.
Model development and deployment will occur in the cloud (AWS), and we’ll look for the appropriate experience.
