The Position

The Evidence Solution Leader (ESL) is a critical role within Product Development Medical Affairs (PDMA), responsible for designing and implementing strategic, global Real-World Evidence (RWE) solutions and overseeing local RWE solutions, to address prioritized gaps identified in the Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP).

This is a strategic medical role that provides expertise in RWE generation, insight generation, scientific engagement, external collaborations and affiliate enablement, with a focus on optimizing evidence solution design and implementation. By maximizing data utility, enhancing the value proposition of therapies, and increasing the visibility and impact of RWE, the ESL ensures evidence strategies are grounded in foresight and tailored to the evolving needs of patients, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers.

The Opportunity:

You serve as a medical and methodological expert for Real-World Data (RWD) and data reuse, supporting prioritized DAs, asset teams, and affiliates

You lead the design of RWE solutions that are fit-for-purpose, decision-driven, and aligned with strategic priorities across the lifecycle

You contribute to IEPs by recommending optimal RWE solutions, including reuse of data assets, Non-Interventional Studies (NIS) and RWD scientific projects

You ensure RWE solutions enable early visibility, support value differentiation, and are relevant across global and local contexts

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 RWE solutions, sharing expertise, and promoting use of standardized frameworks and tools

You create and sustain a community of local Evidence Generation Leaders focused on capability building, data landscaping, RWD initiatives, and data reuse

Who you are:

You have an advanced degree in a relevant scientific field (MD, PhD, PharmD, or equivalent in life sciences, epidemiology, public health, health economics, or related discipline) with 7+ years of experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or healthcare industry, with at least 3-5 years in conceptualization, design and implementation of strategic evidence generation solutions including real-world data (RWD), or non-interventional study (NIS) leadership roles

You have demonstrated experience contributing to or leading integrated evidence plans (IEPs) or equivalent cross-functional strategic planning

You have global or multi-country experience in medical affairs, clinical development, health outcomes, or RWE

You have a deep understanding of real-world evidence methodologies, including study design, data sources (EHR, claims, registries, etc.), analytical approaches, interpretation and scientific communication and bring knowledge of data privacy, governance, and regulatory frameworks governing RWE 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

You have proficiency with medical evidence planning and insight-generation tools, including structured evidence planning frameworks, RWD portals, and data catalogs used to identify and evaluate internal and external evidence assets and have  experience in developing and managing NIS, RWD, and data reuse projects, including protocol development and result dissemination.
