The Position

 

The Senior Analyst, Insights & Analytics – Rare Disease serves as the primary day-to-day commercial analytics partner for assigned U.S. Rare Endocrine Disorders (RED) workstreams, with an initial focus on growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

The Senior Analyst independently owns defined analytical workstreams from business-question framing through execution, interpretation, communication, and follow-through. The role delivers secondary analytics that inform brand strategy, launch and in-market performance, customer and account opportunity, business reviews, and commercial decisions. Working within priorities established by the Director and shared portfolio standards, the Senior Analyst maintains direct stakeholder relationships and is accountable for timely, accurate, and decision-relevant outputs within the assigned scope.

A core responsibility is applying and advancing AI-enabled analytics within assigned workstreams. The Senior Analyst identifies practical use cases and develops or prototypes approved automation, custom GPT/LLM-based assistants, agentic workflows, natural-language analytics, and self-service capabilities that improve speed, consistency, accessibility, or quality while maintaining appropriate validation, governance, and human review.

The Senior Analyst partners with primary market research and specialized analytics functions to integrate relevant evidence into a coherent commercial perspective. The role also contributes to shared Rare Disease methods, data assets, and scalable capabilities when assigned, without displacing primary RED/GHD accountability.

 

Relationships

 

This role reports to the Director of U.S. Rare Disease Insights & Analytics and serves as the primary day-to-day analytics partner for assigned RED workstreams, including GHD.

The Senior Analyst builds direct working relationships with Product Directors, Commercial Leadership, Sales Leadership, Forecasting, Finance, Medical Affairs, global insights partners, Enterprise Insights & Analytics, data and technology teams, and other cross-functional stakeholders. For assigned workstreams, the Senior Analyst independently clarifies business questions, aligns analytical plans and timelines, communicates findings, and follows through on agreed actions. Material priority, capacity, resource, stakeholder, or business-risk decisions are escalated to the Director.

The Senior Analyst collaborates with the Manager on shared methodologies, portfolio standards, AI-enabled capabilities, cross-portfolio dependencies, and quality review for high-impact priorities. The Director sets team priorities, resolves material resource tradeoffs, and retains performance-management and development accountability. The Senior Analyst remains a direct report to the Director and owns assigned analytical workstreams and deliverables end to end.

The Senior Analyst works with the designated primary market research lead and with Field Analytics, Market Access Analytics, and Patient Analytics to coordinate business questions and integrate relevant outputs. Those functions retain accountability for their respective analytics strategies, methodologies, and deliverables.

Externally, the Senior Analyst may work with data providers, analytics vendors, consultants, and technology partners on defined projects, including scope coordination, quality review, documentation, and delivery.
