Role Summary This Associate Director role supports the US Pipeline Oncology Director in leading US RWE & HO strategy and execution for Oncology pipeline assets. 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. The role is anchored to 1‑2 priority pipeline assets/indications, with backup support across the broader Oncology pipeline portfolio as needed. Approximately 20% of the role will support RWE & HO needs for a marketed Oncology product in endometrial and rectal cancer, aligned to lifecycle and customer evidence priorities. Responsibilities This role will provide YOU the opportunity to lead key activities to progress YOUR career. These responsibilities include some of the following: Evidence strategy and planning: Co‑develop and maintain US RWE & HO plans for 1‑2 priority pipeline assets/indications, aligned to US medical, payer, and access needs; translate strategy into actionable workplans, timelines, and resourcing proposals. Provide backup portfolio support for other pipeline assets as needed. 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. Cross‑functional stakeholder management: Support the US Pipeline Oncology Director in running cross‑functional evidence strategy forums and asset‑specific meetings by developing agendas/materials, surfacing options, documenting decisions, and tracking actions to closure. Scientific communication and quality: Draft/review project specifications, protocols, statistical analysis plans, study reports, abstracts, posters, and manuscripts; ensure adherence to SOPs and high scientific/operational quality. Trial design input for US relevance: Provide feedback to Clinical Development and cross‑functional teams on optimal trial design to ensure enrollment of US‑relevant patient populations and collection of endpoints/outcomes that support US stakeholder needs (e.g., health‑related quality of life, patient‑reported outcomes, resource utilization, and other health outcomes measures). Internal decision support: Provide RWE & HO input to internal decision‑making during development and commercialization planning (e.g., trial design considerations, data gap assessments, value messages, evidence prioritization and sequencing). Marketed product support: Contribute ~20% effort to US RWE & HO strategy and execution for a marketed product in endometrial and rectal cancer, including data generation planning, cross‑functional alignment, and delivery of analyses/publications that support lifecycle evidence needs and value communication. External insight generation: Maintain strong alignment with Field Based Payer Medical Teams and other field stakeholders to obtain customer insights; incorporate insights into evidence plans and value communication needs. Vendor and budget management: Manage vendors and contractors for assigned studies, including scope, timelines, budget tracking, and change control; elevate risks/issues proactively. Governance, compliance, and capability building: Complete required training, adhere to company/department SOPs, and contribute to continuous improvement of processes that enable efficient planning, execution, and dissemination of RWE & HO deliverables.
