  • Solid understanding of regulatory requirements and evidence needs supporting clinical development, including the generation of evidence to address regulatory questions related to safety profiles and evidence gaps for Phase II and Phase III programs.

  • Proven ability to design, execute, and interpret epidemiologic studies that support regulatory, clinical, or safety objectives.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in Inflammation and Immunology therapeutic areas.

  • Knowledge of disease areas such as Atopic Dermatitis, Asthma, Lupus, Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, or other immune-mediated diseases.

  • Experience supporting assets within emerging immunology programs.

  • Experience working with primary or hybrid real-world data sources in addition to secondary data sources.

  • Prior experience supporting regulatory submissions or interactions with FDA, EMA, or other global health authorities.

What's in it for you?

  • Be part of a forward-thinking team that helps shape the next generation of evidence-based healthcare.

  • Work hand-in-hand with one leading sponsor, gaining deep expertise in their therapies.

  • Access IQVIA's global network who supports your growth.
