About The Position

The Director, Intel Consulting is a scientifically trained consulting leader who connects Amplity’s data science team with clients’ key business questions. The Director interprets analytic outputs generated through the AnswerY platform from structured and unstructured real-world data, assesses their scientific validity, and translates findings into clear, defensible answers and recommendations for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients. This is a scientific interpretation and consulting role, not a model-building position. The Director applies expertise in disease biology, treatment paradigms, clinical evidence, and study design to data-driven insights, serving as a trusted advisor to both Medical Affairs and Commercial stakeholders. The role also supports business development and growth of Intel client relationships, leads engagements through delivery, and provides scientific direction and mentorship to data science contractors and analysts.
