This role leads forecasting and national performance analytics across our marketed and pipeline portfolio, with a particular emphasis on rare and genetically defined diseases.

• Surface emerging performance trends, likely drivers, and areas of opportunity by integrating secondary data, field intelligence, competitive signals, and market research
• Deliver ad hoc forecasting and analytics to support board meetings, earnings calls, and investor discussions
• Support business development and corporate strategy with market sizing, valuation inputs, and commercial forecasts for pipeline and partnering opportunities
• Guide the secondary analytics and primary research needed to validate forecast assumptions, model architecture, and patient populations
• Act as an internal consultant across Commercial, Finance, Market Access, Clinical, Supply, and Regulatory to support cross-functional decision-making
• Direct third-party forecasting resources to extend capacity while maintaining quality and timelines

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in forecasting, commercial analytics, or performance reporting in the biopharmaceutical industry; bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (e.g., MBA) preferred
• Strong forecasting and financial modeling skills, including dynamic Excel models; able to build, present, defend, and maintain operational and long-range forecasts with a high degree of precision
• Strong knowledge of biopharmaceutical secondary data sources (e.g., specialty pharmacy, claims and longitudinal patient, sales, and payer data) and how to apply them to forecasting and performance analytics
• Experience designing and interpreting KPI frameworks, dashboards, and launch and in-line performance reporting
• Experience in rare or genetically defined diseases, including in-line and pipeline products, strongly preferred
• Experience supporting business development or licensing assessments with forecasting and market sizing a plus
• Excellent communication skills; able to distill complex models into clear narratives and recommendations for senior stakeholders
• Well organized, analytical, and a strong strategic thinker; able to challenge assumptions and go beyond the obvious answer
