About The Position

The Precision Medicine Integrated Insights Senior Manager, US Oncology supports multiple biomarker driven indications across AstraZeneca’s oncology portfolio, including several upcoming launches. The role requires strong critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and a proactive approach. Recent consulting experience is highly preferred.

The role leads primary research and secondary data analytics in partnership with internal teams and external vendors. Close collaboration with PM marketing, brand insights and analytics, and other commercial collaborators is essential. This position reports to the Director, Market Access & Precision Medicine Coordinated Insights within the US Oncology Business Excellence (OBEX) team, which supports strategic decision making through objective, data driven insights.
