The Position

The Evidence Solution Leader (ESL) is a critical role within Product Development Medical Affairs (PDMA), responsible for designing and enabling strategic evidence solutions to address prioritized gaps identified in the Integrated Evidence Plan (IEP).

This is a strategic medical role that provides expertise in insight generation, evidence generation, scientific engagement, and affiliate enablement, with a focus on optimizing evidence solution design. By maximizing data utility, enhancing the value proposition of therapies, and increasing the visibility and impact of real-world evidence, 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 RWD and data reuse, supporting prioritized DAs, asset teams, and affiliates

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

• You contribute to IEPs by recommending optimal solutions, including reuse of data assets, NIS and RWD scientific projects

• 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 evidence solutions, sharing expertise, and promoting use of standardized frameworks and tools (e.g., EVAL, evidence atlas)

• 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 evidence generation, 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 preferred

• You have a deep understanding of real-world evidence methodologies, including study design, data sources (EHR, claims, registries, etc.), analysis approaches, and interpretation

• You have knowledge of data privacy, governance, and regulatory frameworks governing RWD 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

• You have experience in developing and managing NIS, RWD, and data reuse projects, including protocol development and result dissemination
