Your role

Real-world evidence is reshaping how medicines are developed, approved, and valued — and in this role, you will be at the forefront of that transformation. As a Director Real-World Evidence Scientist in Oncology, you will own and drive the end-to-end RWE strategy for one or more complex, high-priority oncology programs, operating as a recognized scientific authority across the organization and beyond.

You will define and lead the integration of RWE into clinical development and regulatory strategies, working directly with global program teams and cross-functional partners across clinical, regulatory, market access, and commercial functions. You will design, initiate, and oversee non-interventional studies — from protocol development through to study reporting — and ensure the selection of fit-for-purpose real-world data sources that address critical research questions. Your scientific judgment will directly inform decision-making at the most senior levels of the organization.

Beyond program delivery, you will represent the organization in interactions with health authorities, contribute to peer-reviewed publications, and present at international conferences — actively shaping the external scientific landscape. You will also champion methodological innovation, drive process improvements, and serve as a scientific mentor to colleagues within the function, contributing to a culture of rigor, collaboration, and continuous learning.

Who you are

• You hold a Master’s degree or PhD in Epidemiology, Public Health, Health Economics and Outcomes Research, Biostatistics, or a related discipline, and bring 8 or more years of RWE experience gained in a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or contract research organization setting.
• You have deep expertise in studies based on secondary data use — including claims data, electronic medical records, and registries — across multiple healthcare environments (Europe, US, and/or Asia), as well as experience in primary data collection.
• You are proficient in working with federated data networks and familiar with data standards such as OMOP CDM or FHIR, and bring strong methodological skills spanning epidemiology, pharmacology, and pharmacovigilance.
• You have a proven track record of leading RWE strategy at a global program level, navigating complex, matrixed organizations and collaborating effectively across clinical development, regulatory affairs, and market access functions.
• You bring experience in regulatory and/or payer submissions and interactions, and a thorough understanding of the evolving regulatory environment for RWE.
• You communicate with clarity and confidence — translating complex scientific content for diverse audiences, including senior leadership and external stakeholders — and you are fluent in English.
• Ideally, you also bring experience with AI/ML applications in RWE (including NLP), patient-reported outcomes (PRO), health technology assessment, and a track record of thought leadership through publications, conference presentations, or advisory roles.
