This role is central to enabling data‑driven insights for internal teams and external clients across the pharmaceutical industry.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver insights that support pharmaceutical clients, commercial teams, and internal stakeholders.
• Ensure robust data governance practices across pharmacy, hospital, and healthcare provider datasets.
• Contribute to the refinement of custom healthcare geographies and segmentation models (e.g., pharmacy banner groups, buying groups)

Required Skills & Knowledge

• Advanced SQL skills for querying and joining complex healthcare and pharmaceutical datasets.
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for automation and data processing.
• Strong Excel capabilities for validation, reporting, and quality assurance.
• Solid understanding of pharmacy and healthcare data structures, including banner groups, buying groups, and provider classifications.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex data issues and propose effective, scalable solutions.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience with SQL Server, Python, and MS Excel.

Why Join Us?

• Collaborative and innovative environment with strong industry exposure.
• Chance to deepen your expertise in pharmaceutical data, healthcare analytics, and supporting geospatial concepts.
