  • Represent the RWE function in internal cross-functional teams and initiatives.
  • Leverage close collaborations with quantitative functions within CDS (e.g., Biostatistics, Bioinformatics), as well as in Clinical Research, Patient Safety, Medical Affairs, and Global Value and Access to anticipate and meet the evidence needs of regulators, payers, providers, and patients.
  • Identify the need for and contribute directly to the development of processes and delivery of training aimed at increasing the efficiency, quality, and impact of functional activities.
  • Mentor junior epidemiologists and RWE analysts to ensure competence in epidemiologic skills and knowledge.
