• Advance AI/analytics for evidence generation: Serve as subject matter expert on AI/ML applications and lead end-to-end data analysis across the Evidence team.
• Manage vendor ecosystem and data sourcing: Identify, assess, and onboard RWD vendors and datasets; continuously scan the Swiss landscape for new high value sources.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we fuel ambitious thinking with the power to encourage life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office.

But that doesn't mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
