Role SummaryThe Senior Manager, HEOR/RWE Analytics - Neurology will play a key role in building Servier's evidence-generation capabilities for an expanding rare neurology portfolio encompassing neuromuscular disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and rare epilepsies. Reporting to the Director of Evidence & Innovation, the individual will lead data strategy, data landscaping, real-world data assessment, and evidence analytics across the neurology portfolio, with an initial focus on Becker muscular dystrophy and support for emerging programs including Fragile X syndrome and KCNT1-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.
The role sits within the Evidence & Innovation team, part of the HEOR/RWE, Scientific Communications & Publications organisation within Medical Affairs, and supports the development of Servier's Medical Evidence Engine through three complementary pillars:
- Scientific excellence and evidence governance
- In-house evidence generation capabilities (data strategy + analytics)
- Innovation in methods and evidence generation
The successful candidate will help establish foundational data assets, analytical capabilities, and evidence-generation approaches for rare neurological diseases where conventional evidence sources are often limited and fit-for-purpose solutions require innovative approaches to data acquisition, natural history evidence generation, patient identification, endpoint development, and advanced analytics.
Primary Responsibilities1. Neurology Data Strategy and Data Landscaping- Lead data landscaping and evidence-enabling data strategy for Becker muscular dystrophy launch and the broader neurology portfolio, identifying fit-for-purpose data sources across claims, electronic health records, registries, clinical datasets, patient-reported outcomes, specialty pharmacy data, natural history datasets, and other relevant sources.
- Assess the suitability of real-world data assets based on population relevance, longitudinality, clinical depth, endpoint availability, treatment and diagnostic capture, data quality, linkage potential, governance requirements, and strategic value.
- Develop disease- and portfolio-level data strategies that enable repeatable evidence generation, rapid insight generation, feasibility assessment, study design, and strategic decision support.
- Partner with internal stakeholders to define priority evidence questions, data gaps, and data acquisition needs for neurology, ensuring alignment with Medical Affairs strategy, HEOR plans, Value & Access needs, R&D evidence requirements, and Global priorities.
2. Evidence Engine Analytics and In-House Evidence Generation- Lead analytics strategy and execution for Neurology HEOR/RWE initiatives.
- Translate complex real-world data into scientifically rigorous, clinically meaningful, and decision-ready insights for Medical Affairs, HEOR, Value & Access, R&D, U.S., and Global stakeholders.
- Build and manage analytics workflows that support both exploratory and hypothesis-driven research, including dashboards, reusable analytics modules, rapid feasibility tools, and visual insight products. Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable dashboards, applications, and analytics products for neurology stakeholders.
- Operate selectively as advisor, project lead, hands-on analytics partner, or vendor oversight lead.
3. Vendor, Data Partner, and Data Asset Management- Lead or support the identification, evaluation, contracting, and oversight of external data vendors, analytics vendors, research partners, and technology partners supporting neurology evidence generation.
- Manage vendors conducting analytics within Servier's Medical Evidence Engine operating model, ensuring methodological quality, delivery discipline, documentation, reproducibility, and alignment with internal governance expectations.
- Serve as a scientific and operational bridge between external partners and internal stakeholders across HEOR, Medical Strategy, Value & Access, R&D, Legal, Compliance, Data Privacy, IT, and Global teams.
4. Scientific Governance and Evidence Generation Standards- Participate in the Evidence & Innovation function's scientific governance activities, including protocol review, study concept refinement, evidence-generation planning, analytics review, and dissemination readiness.
- Support governance processes that ensure HEOR/RWE studies are scientifically robust, auditable, compliant, and fit for their intended use across medical, access, publication, and potential regulated communication pathways.
- Provide methodological input into study protocols, statistical analysis plans, study reports, dashboard specifications, and evidence outputs.
- Ensure appropriate documentation of cohort definitions, data provenance, analytic methods, assumptions, limitations, and interpretation guardrails.
5. Innovation in Methods and Advanced Evidence- Identify and implement fit-for-purpose methodological innovations for neurology evidence generation, including advanced RWE methods, disease progression modelling, predictive analytics, patient stratification, external comparator approaches, natural history analyses, data linkage, and AI-enabled evidence exploration where appropriate.
- Evaluate innovative datasets and approaches that address limitations of conventional RWD, such as limited endpoint depth, incomplete longitudinal follow-up, diagnostic uncertainty, and limited capture of functional or patient-centered outcomes.
- Contribute to the development of advanced evidence systems that move beyond static studies toward reusable, analytics-enabled evidence capabilities.
- Apply a disciplined, fit-for-purpose approach to innovation, ensuring that advanced analytics outputs are appropriately labelled, contextualized, validated, and governed for their intended use.
6. Cross-Functional Leadership and Stakeholder Engagement- Act as a strategic evidence partner to Neurology Medical Affairs, HEOR, Value & Access, R&D, Global teams, and cross-functional U.S. stakeholders.
- Translate stakeholder questions into evidence-generation strategies, data requirements, analytics plans, and decision-ready outputs.
- Communicate complex methods and research findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including senior leaders and cross-functional teams.
- Support alignment between U.S. and Global stakeholders on neurology evidence needs, data-generation tactics, analytics priorities, and dissemination opportunities.
- Contribute to Annual Medical Plan-linked evidence planning, Integrated Evidence Generation Plan alignment, and early identification of communication ambitions when evidence may support medical, access, or regulated communication pathways.
Education and Skills: - Advanced degree (PhD, PharmD, MD, MPH, MS, MSc, or equivalent) in Epidemiology, Health Economics, Outcomes Research, Biostatistics, Public Health, Data Science, Health Services Research, or a related quantitative or scientific discipline.
- Minimum of 5+ years of relevant experience in HEOR, RWE, epidemiology, outcomes research, healthcare analytics, or related functions within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, academic, or consulting industries.
- Strong understanding of healthcare data sources including claims, electronic health records, registries, and other real-world data assets. Experience assessing healthcare data assets for fit-for-purpose use and supporting data selection, acquisition, or strategic data partnerships.
- Experience translating scientific or business questions into evidence-generation strategies and analytical plans.
- Demonstrated experience designing, conducting, managing, or interpreting real-world evidence and observational research studies across epidemiology, natural history, treatment pattern, burden-of-illness, comparative effectiveness, or outcomes research studies.
- Experience with data visualisation, dashboards, or analytical platforms (e.g., R, Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, R Shiny, or similar tools).
- Familiarity with neurology, rare disease, neuromuscular disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, epilepsy, or other specialty therapeutic areas, including small patient populations, fragmented care pathways, and limited data availability.
- Strong project management and stakeholder-management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain analytical concepts and findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams in a matrixed environment.
- Experience working with healthcare data vendors, analytics partners, contract research organisations, or academic collaborators.
- Demonstrated intellectual curiosity, initiative, and a collaborative approach to problem solving.
