You could be one of the first hires to a newly created analytics team with a business that’s embracing the power of data science.

Already, it’s an appealing job.

But it’s also a brilliant career move.

This is a great job, helping launch a new data science team from the ground up. But it’s also a brilliant career move.

Why? Because this is a women-led business.

And that’s better for your career, whomever you are.

Research shows that women-led businesses not only have better financial performance but also much higher levels of employee engagement and satisfaction. Studies also indicate that gender diversity results in increased productivity, greater innovation, better decision-making, and higher employee retention.

That’s certainly reflected at this company – a unique pharma market research consultancy that provides data-driven insight to healthcare businesses, helping them develop new medicines and improved treatments.

This is genuinely one of the nicest teams we’ve recruited for. The care and attention they devote to mentoring and coaching, combined with their focus on collaboration make for a much healthier workplace environment.

What you can add

If you want to develop, this is the ideal setting for your analytical skills. The company is investing heavily in data science, with plans to significantly grow their team over the next few years. As one of the first three hires, you’ll have a lot of influence over the shape of things to come.

Broadly, the team’s role is to use a range of statistical techniques to analyse data and interpret results, in turn delivering business recommendations for clients.

You’ll be involved at all stages of the project lifecycle – from client proposals and the initial design elements (working closely with project teams) to designing advanced/multivariate models and evaluating new methodologies and implementing them into the company’s offering.

This is work with a purpose. Your analysis will help senior decision-makers to predict the long-term performance and market share of promising new medicines. You’ll inform brand messaging, encouraging physicians to prescribe improved treatments to patients that most need them.

Ultimately, it’s a great opportunity to work on high-value business cases that will improve healthcare outcomes for millions of patients.

What you need

We’re open-minded about your background – you don’t need pharma experience. You do need as many of the following as possible on your CV:

• A Ph.D. or Master’s in data science, or a related subject
• Data science experience spanning data analysis and statistics.
• Broad statistical knowledge spanning data manipulation, weighting, sample size calculation, and significance testing
• Experience working with multivariate statistics
• A proven ability to explain analyses and statistical outputs in a language that non-statisticians can understand.
• Coding skills in R, MATLAB or Python, and SPSS.

As long as you can get into the office – near Macclesfield, Cheshire, England– for essential meetings, we’re flexible about where you get your best work done. This is a collaborative place to work – as part of your development, you’ll have the chance to travel internationally for conferences and internal meet-ups.
