Job Description OBJECTIVES / PURPOSE We are seeking a strong Senior Analyst to join Takeda's GCC Commercial Insights & Analytics (I&A) organization in India. This role carries significant individual analytical ownership, bridging execution-level work with emerging stakeholder-facing responsibilities. The Senior Analyst is a critical analytical contributor who drives the quality and depth of insights delivered to global brand teams and begins to shape the analytical direction of assigned workstreams. - Own and independently deliver a portfolio of mid-to-high complexity analytical workstreams that directly inform global brand strategy, performance management, and commercial execution across assigned brands and indications. - Apply advanced proficiency across pharmaceutical commercial data sources — including patient-level claims, EMR, specialty pharmacy, and sales data across multiple markets — and analytics tools to generate decision-ready insights with clear business implications. - Design and execute patient journey analyses, HCP segmentation models, performance deep-dives, and competitive assessments that provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations to global I&A brand leads and commercial partners. - Serve as an emerging analytical thought leader within the GCC team — contributing to methodology development, analytical best practices, and the informal mentoring of Analyst colleagues. ACCOUNTABILITIES Brand Analytics and Insight Generation - Own end-to-end delivery of assigned performance analytics workstreams, producing reports and dashboards that track brand KPIs — including patient shares, new starts, source of business, adherence, and HCP engagement — across global, regional, and country levels. - Integrate and analyze diverse commercial data sources across markets — including real-world data (claims, EMR/EHR, lab data), specialty pharmacy data, sales data, and channel data — to generate comprehensive patient and HCP insights that support brand strategy and launch readiness. - Develop and maintain business rules for processing raw patient-level data, leveraging a deep understanding of data nuances, commercial context, and market knowledge to ensure analytical accuracy and consistency. - Conduct advanced, self-directed exploratory data analysis (EDA) and opportunity prospecting — moving beyond basic pulls (counts, topline, segmentation, time trends) to surface non-obvious commercial opportunities and hypotheses. - Lead custom reporting and complex ad hoc analysis requests with independent hypothesis formulation, rigorous methodology, and well-documented, insight-rich outputs. Patient / HCP Cohort Development and Segmentation - Build and maintain patient and HCP cohorts using standard business rules and deterministic logic, ensuring definitions are clinically sound, reproducible, and aligned with brand and indication requirements. - Develop advanced cohort and segmentation approaches — including cluster and probabilistic models — to support more sophisticated patient/HCP targeting, prioritization, and micro-segmentation for global brand teams. Data Operation and Automation - Perform basic ETL to acquire, clean, transform, and structure raw data from multiple sources into analysis-ready datasets. - Develop and help orchestrate data pipelines that support recurring analytics and reporting, improving reliability, scalability, and reproducibility of team deliverables. - Proactively identify and implement opportunities to automate and scale recurring reporting and analytical workflows, improving efficiency and reproducibility. Data Visualization and Reporting Excellence - Design and maintain Tableau or Power BI dashboards and reporting tools that clearly communicate brand performance trends, patient funnel dynamics, and field force activity to global stakeholders. - Establish KPIs and metrics — including patient shares, duration of therapy (DoT), adherence rates, source of business, and campaign effectiveness — and monitor their performance across global markets, regions, and channels. Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication - Partner with GCC Managers and global I&A brand leads to clarify analytical requirements, align on deliverable scope, and communicate progress proactively. - Synthesize findings from multiple data sources into cohesive, decision-oriented analytical stories with clear “so what” implications and actionable recommendations tailored to global brand and commercial audiences. - Provide informal mentoring and quality guidance to Analyst I and Analyst II colleagues, reviewing their outputs, explaining methodological choices, and supporting their professional development. - Contribute to team knowledge management by documenting analytical methods, data source guides, and reusable query libraries. KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Education: - Bachelor's Degree required in Statistics, Data Science, Life Sciences, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field. - Master's degree or MBA in a relevant analytical or business field is strongly preferred. Experience: - 4–5 years of experience in pharmaceutical commercial analytics or healthcare analytics, with demonstrated independent ownership of analytical deliverables. - Deep working knowledge of pharma commercial datasets across markets: patient-level claims (e.g., IQVIA, Komodo Health, Symphony Health), specialty pharmacy, EMR, and sales data is required. - Hands-on experience with data beyond claims is strongly preferred, including lab data, EMR/EHR, medical and regulatory coding systems (e.g., ICD, procedure/reimbursement codes), public datasets (e.g., government and financial), and research literature sources such as Citeline and PubMed. - Proficiency in coding techniques such as SQL, SAS, R, or Python for data manipulation and workflow automation; advanced Excel skills required. - Familiarity with API programming to acquire data via formal APIs, and with using GenAI tools (e.g., Claude Code) as a coding partner to accelerate analytical work. - Strong experience with Tableau or Power BI for performance and brand analytics dashboard development. - Working knowledge of Databricks or cloud-based analytics platforms. - Experience supporting global or regional brand teams or cross-functional analytics programs is strongly preferred. Skills & Competencies: - Advanced Commercial Data Analysis — Independently designs and executes complex analyses using multi-source, multi-market pharma commercial datasets; interprets results with strong domain context. - Data Pulls & Exploration — Progresses from basic data pulls (counts, top-line, segmentation, time) to advanced, self-directed EDA and opportunity prospecting. - Cohort Development & Segmentation — Builds deterministic, business-rule-based cohorts and advances toward probabilistic and cluster-model approaches for patient/HCP targeting. - Data Operations — Performs basic ETL and develops/orchestrates pipelines to produce reproducible, analysis-ready data. - Technical Proficiency — Advanced SQL; working Python/R; API programming for data acquisition; uses GenAI as a coding partner; growing fluency in Databricks or cloud platforms. - Data Storytelling — Translates complex findings from multiple data sources into executive-ready narratives with explicit business implications and clear recommendations. - Stakeholder Communication — Communicates analytical findings persuasively to global I&A leads and cross-functional partners; adapts framing to both technical and commercial audiences. - Automation & Efficiency — Proactively identifies and implements workflow improvements using code, pipelines, or process redesign. - Informal Mentorship — Provides practical guidance to junior analysts on analytical techniques, data interpretation, and quality standards. - Problem-Solving — Frames ambiguous business questions into structured hypotheses; comfortable navigating complexity and data limitations. Intangible Skills: - Curiosity — Naturally inquisitive; digs beneath surface results to understand the “why” behind the data. - Confidence — Willing to take a point of view, defend analytical choices, and engage senior stakeholders. - Reflective — Reviews own work critically, learns from feedback, and refines methods over time. - High Risk Tolerance — Comfortable experimenting with new methods, tools, and approaches under ambiguity. - Organized — Manages multiple workstreams, timelines, and documentation with discipline and structure. - English Fluency — High command of written and spoken English for clear communication with global stakeholders.
