AD, Advanced Analytics & Modeling
About The Position
The Advanced Analytics & Modeling Center of Excellence transforms complex business questions into scalable analytical capabilities, decision-ready insights, and measurable business impact across the US portfolio. The CoE operates with a small number of capability Directors and a flexible bench of Associate Director-level Advanced Analytics Leads, in integrated partnership with the Hyderabad analytics organization. Reporting to the Executive Director, Advanced Analytics & Modeling, the Associate Director is a senior individual contributor on this bench. The role is deployed dynamically across launches, therapeutic areas, and enterprise initiatives in support of Promotion Effectiveness, Measurement & Resource Optimization; Key Drivers & Action Planning Analytics; and Predictive Modeling & Precision Health. The Associate Director has a primary capability area while maintaining cross-capability flexibility and T-shaped skill development. This is an end-to-end analytical engagement lead role, not a reactive shared-services or project-management position. The Associate Director is accountable from defining the business question through methodology selection, execution, and decision recommendation. Success is measured by whether business decisions improve, rather than simply whether analyses are delivered. The position has no direct reports and directs and quality-assures analytical execution by Hyderabad team members on assigned engagements. The ideal location is the East Hanover, New Jersey site, though remote work may be possible subject to legal-entity restrictions. Relocation is not provided. Remote employees are responsible for home-office expenses and travel and lodging costs for periodic live meetings at East Hanover. Working hours and domestic or international travel expectations will be set by the hiring manager, at the manager’s discretion.
