Associate Director, Advanced Analytics

Associate Director, Advanced Analytics

Join the Alnylam Commercial Data and Analytics team and help build a product-driven engine that turns data-driven insights into deployed decisions with measurable business impact. As part of Customer Experience and Innovation, you will work cross-functionally with technical and business partners to accelerate commercial outcomes by standardizing what we build, how we build it, and how we deliver it through the tools and workflows business users rely on every day. As Associate Director, Advanced Analytics, you will contribute to prioritized Value Teams across the commercial organization: Business Performance & Drivers, Customer & Account Growth, Omnichannel & Media Optimization, Patient Pull-Through & Outcomes, and Evaluation & Learning.

Value Teams collaborate fluidly to deliver and manage decision products that enable specific business outcomes, driving competitive foresight and actioning for the commercial organization through predictive and prescriptive analytics. In this role, you will bring product thinking to analytics end-to-end. You will be deeply embedded with the business to lead discovery and problem framing, define decision logic and success measures, and partner with engineering and platform product management to deliver analytics that are adopted, measurable, and continuously improved. You will work within and across multiple Value Teams, leading on specific outcomes while also building reusable analytical components and shared standards that accelerate delivery across the broader portfolio.

The position will be based in Cambridge, MA.

Key Responsibilities

• Work within and across multiple Value Teams, aligning to transparent priorities and delivering reusable analytics that scale across franchises and markets.
• Own analytics product strategy and roadmap for assigned decision products: identify the highest-leverage decisions, size opportunity, and sequence releases to maximize impact and adoption.
• Lead complex decision-product analytics such as launch readiness and early performance, competitive dynamics and share shifts, account opportunity prioritization, and patient journey risk forecasting, with outputs embedded into core workflows.
• Drive end-to-end product framing for decision-focused use cases: user definition, problem statement, hypotheses, decision points, and success metrics that combine value and adoption.
• Translate business needs into deployable analytic requirements, including thresholds, segmentation logic, trigger definitions, measurement plans, and learning loops that improve over time.
• Deliver decision-ready insights with clear storytelling and stakeholder-ready visuals, including executive-level readouts that drive decisions and follow-through.
• Partner with engineering to move prototypes into production and define expectations for monitoring, retraining, and operational performance where models are involved.
• Partner with Data Stewardship to define and use single source of truth metrics, ensure traceability to governed definitions and gold-layer data products, and contribute to analytics engineering using dbt-informed specifications and documentation.
• Use AI tooling to increase efficiency and throughput, including AI-native IDEs and safe use of agentic AI analytics when appropriate; operate in agile delivery rhythms using Jira and GitHub-based version control for analytic artifacts.
