What you will do

Do you want a captivating position working with multiple teams to generate real-world evidence supporting a wide variety of business needs?

Observational research (OR) is an increasingly important component in drug development and commercialization because, in the current environment, there is increased demand for information from OR studies for regulatory and reimbursement authorities. The Center for Observational Research (CfOR) at Amgen partners with teams to generate real-world evidence for multiple collaborators across the product lifecycle. CfOR provides evidence regarding the frequency and distribution of disease or the clinical burden of disease, the natural history or clinical course of the disease, the design of clinical trials, cost and utilization patterns, and the safety and efficiency of interventions.

Amgen is searching for an Observational Research Director (Epidemiology). The director will have responsibilities for research activities in CfORs Data and Analytics Center (DAC) leading the Forecasting Functional Group. The Forecasting director is recognized as a strong scientific contributor with excellent communication and negotiating skills, will lead a small team of PhD-trained scientists, and will manage relationships with individuals on both the R&D and Commercial sides of the business. This role will primarily be located on the Amgen corporate campus in Thousand Oaks, CA, but remote opportunities may also be available.

Key Activities include:

• Direct a team passionate about designing and implementing studies to generate addressable patient population sizing estimates at a global level

• Interface, negotiate, and communicate effectively with cross-functional colleagues from both R&D and Commercial

• Influence cross-functional stakeholders as to the appropriate use and timing of non-interventional research to answer high-priority strategic business questions

• Leverage real-world data and CfOR analytic approaches to advise high-value business decisions for multiple stakeholders

• Track business and functional priorities and align resources against those priorities

• Contribute to the mission of CfOR, including progressing innovative epidemiological methods and analytical capabilities to support CfORs leadership role within Amgen and the industry
