- You contribute to IEPs by recommending optimal solutions, including reuse of data assets, NIS and RWD scientific projects
- You proactively identify and drive opportunities for data reuse across studies, systems, and geographies and promote transparency of internal data assets and tools that enable future reuse
- You partner with cross-functional stakeholders (medical, access, clinical, commercial, data science) and affiliates to align on evidence needs and feasibility.
- You enable affiliates by co-creating local and multi-country evidence solutions, sharing expertise, and promoting use of standardized frameworks and tools (e.g., EVAL, evidence atlas)
- You create and sustain a community of local Evidence Generation Leaders focused on capability building, data landscaping, RWD initiatives, and data reuse

- You have global or multi-country experience in medical affairs, clinical development, health outcomes, or RWE preferred
- You have a deep understanding of real-world evidence methodologies, including study design, data sources (EHR, claims, registries, etc.), analysis approaches, and interpretation
- You have knowledge of data privacy, governance, and regulatory frameworks governing RWD generation and use across major markets (e.g., US, EU, APAC)
- You have working knowledge of health authority and HTA evidence expectations (e.g., EMA, FDA, NICE, G-BA, CADTH), particularly where RWE contributes to demonstrating treatment value, real-world effectiveness, or addressing uncertainties in clinical trials
