  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present nuanced clinical and technical material clearly to scientific and commercial audiences.
  • Working proficiency with data tools (SQL and/or Python or R) sufficient to specify and validate cohort logic in partnership with data science teams.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Word, Excel, Outlook, and general working knowledge of Internet for business use.
