The role is accountable for developing and delivering components of the US data generation plan (including RWE and economic value evidence), ensuring strategic alignment across key internal stakeholders (US Medical, Commercial/Market Access, Global RWE & HO, Global Medical Affairs, R&D Epidemiology and Clinical Development), and driving high-quality deliverables that inform internal decision‑making during product development, pre-launch readiness, and lifecycle planning.

This role promises a fast-paced environment supporting a new-to-market product in a dynamic hematology space.

Key Responsibilities:
• Evidence strategy and planning: Implementation of RWE/HO research by developing evidence generation plan and designing multiple RWE/HO studies, aligned to US medical, payer, and access needs; translate strategy into actionable workplans, timelines, and resourcing proposals. Translate needs for evidence into study concepts in alignment with strategic objectives and vision for the asset, e.g. development of study protocols and proposing innovative and cost-effective ways of developing and executing studies
• Study leadership (RWE/HEOR): Own day-to-day leadership for assigned real-world evidence and health outcomes studies (e.g., real-world evidence studies, cost-effectiveness/budget impact analyses, burden of illness, treatment patterns, patient-focused outcomes) including design and execution in partnership with internal functions and external vendors.
