Role Overview – Information Researcher (Real‑World Evidence)

arenaflex is seeking a highly motivated Information Researcher – Real‑World Evidence (RWE) to join our Clinical Data Science team. In this role, you will design and execute sophisticated data mining, cleaning, and analytical pipelines that transform raw health records into certified evidence supporting drug development, health‑economics studies, and regulatory submissions. Reporting directly to the Chief of Clinical Data Science, you will collaborate with cross‑functional partners—including epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and external pharmaceutical collaborators—to answer critical business questions and generate insights that influence both internal strategy and external stakeholder decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Data Extraction & Normalization: Mine raw data sets from internal electronic health records (EHR), claims databases, and external registries; transform them into analysis‑ready patient cohorts while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.
• Collaborative Insight Generation: Partner with clinical research scientists, epidemiologists, and external pharma partners to translate real‑world observations into actionable evidence for therapeutic areas, disease pathways, and health‑economic models.
• Data Lake Management: Clean, curate, and store structured and unstructured data in a centralized data lake, facilitating downstream analytics and cross‑team reuse.
• Statistical & Machine Learning Analyses: Conduct descriptive, predictive, and causal analyses using advanced statistical methods (e.g., propensity scoring, survival analysis, Bayesian modeling) and machine‑learning techniques to uncover patterns in patient outcomes.
• Methodology Development: Design reproducible, peer‑reviewable analytical pipelines that meet regulatory standards for real‑world evidence generation (e.g., GCP, ISO, CFR).
• Reporting & Visualization: Build interactive dashboards, detailed reports, and scientific manuscripts for internal stakeholders and external partners, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and timeliness.
• Quality Assurance: Perform rigorous data quality assessments, validate source data, and document data provenance to support certification of evidence.
• Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Evaluate emerging data sources (e.g., wearable devices, social determinants of health) and analytical tools to expand arenaflex’s RWE capabilities.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline such as Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Epidemiology, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience designing and executing robust observational studies using real‑world health data.
• Proficiency with statistical programming languages (e.g., R, Python, SAS) and familiarity with data‑visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Alteryx, or Spotfire.
• Hands‑on experience handling large, multi‑source data sets, including structured claims data and unstructured clinical notes.
• Strong knowledge of data privacy regulations (HIPAA, GDPR) and best practices for handling protected health information (PHI).
• Ability to communicate complex analytical concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree (PhD, MSc) in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Economics, or a related discipline.
• Experience with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, disease registries, and claims data extraction.
• Familiarity with clinical terminology standards and ontologies (ICD‑9/10, SNOMED CT, Read Codes).
• Exposure to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and regulatory compliance frameworks for real‑world evidence (e.g., ISO 14155, MDD/MDR, CFR 21 Part 11).
• Background in Bayesian statistics, time‑series analysis, or causal inference methods.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain automated data pipelines using cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Passion for continuous learning in AI/ML, data engineering, and health‑technology innovations.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Analytical Rigor: Ability to design reproducible, statistically sound studies that withstand peer review and regulatory scrutiny.
• Technical Acumen: Proficiency in SQL, Python/R, and data‑visualization platforms; experience with ETL processes and data lake architectures.
• Collaboration: Strong teamwork skills, with a track record of partnering across multidisciplinary groups to achieve shared objectives.
• Communication: Clear, concise writing and presentation abilities; capable of translating technical findings into business‑relevant narratives.
