Responsibilities

Build a library of commercial/proposal slides and one-pagers to explain the possibilities and limitations of AA information products to CHs, so that our offerings can be included in proposals in a responsible and efficient way

Continuously expand our portfolio of available AA information products, including our library of SQL templates for recurring questions. Research and propose development of new ones, in line with demands from existing cases, and opportunities for new and innovative offerings to our clients

Self-manage conflicting demands across tasks, while maintaining an approximately 50/50 split between support for casework/proposals and development of Health Advances IP that helps us work more efficiently and differentiate our offerings from the competition

Informal mentor for peers and Analysts

Provides formal feedback as required

Maintain our knowledge base of commonly used sources of RWD (e.g. TriNetX, Definitive Healthcare, IQVIA, PharmaProjects, NIS, PSPS, etc.), so that we can all tap into those databases and have access to the business metadata and domain knowledge required to interpret data correctly

Stay up to date about competitors’ data sources (e.g., alternative RWD sources) as well as new potential data sources to expand into (e.g., genomics, lab results, hospital systems)

Contribute to the AA SharePoint site, to keep this up-to-date and as informative and useful as possible

Be an ambassador for responsible data governance, so that all Health Advances colleagues better understand how our data can be used and interpreted, and importantly: how they cannot be used
