Significant experience in data products, data management, business ownership, or product management roles.
Five to seven years of experience in the relevant data domain.
Experience translating business strategy into data and digital capabilities that deliver measurable value.
Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and aligning diverse stakeholders in a complex, collaborative organization.
Understanding of data governance, data quality, information about data, shared business meaning, and interoperability concepts.
Experience with analytics, artificial intelligence, or digital transformation initiatives; pharmaceutical, healthcare, or life sciences experience is preferred.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
