• Design and execute complex RWE, HEOR, observational, and chart-review studies, including surveys and questionnaires.
• Ensure compliance with applicable data-privacy regulations (HIPAA, GDPR).

Leadership & Collaboration

• Act as a cross-functional bridge between RWE science, data standards, and regulatory affairs.
• Lead RWE data strategy initiatives, mentor junior team members, and manage client communications.
• Present methodologies and results with an emphasis on transparency and reproducibility.
