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, execute, and interpret rigorous data analyses that transform raw health data into certifiable evidence supporting clinical research, health‑technology assessments, and strategic decision‑making for pharmaceutical partners. You will work remotely, collaborating closely with clinical scientists, epidemiologists, and data engineers to deliver insights that drive better health outcomes.

This position reports directly to the Chief, Clinical Data Science and is a critical component of the broader Clinical Research Operations group. You will be expected to apply advanced analytical methods, maintain data integrity, and communicate findings to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Data Extraction & Normalization: Mine raw data sets from internal arenaflex repositories and external licensed platforms, transform them into analysis‑ready patient cohorts, and ensure consistent data definitions across projects.
• Collaborative Insight Generation: Partner with clinical researchers, epidemiologists, and external biotech sponsors to translate real‑world observations into actionable evidence for drug efficacy, safety, and health‑economic evaluations.
• Data Lake Management: Clean, curate, and store structured and unstructured data in a centralized data lake, enabling downstream analytics and cross‑functional reuse.
• Statistical & Machine Learning Analyses: Conduct descriptive, predictive, and causal analyses using techniques such as regression modeling, propensity score matching, survival analysis, time‑series forecasting, and unsupervised learning.
• Methodology Development: Design robust, reproducible analytical pipelines that meet regulatory standards for real‑world evidence generation (e.g., FDA, EMA, ISO).
• Quality Assurance: Uphold the highest standards of data quality, documentation, and auditability, ensuring that all deliverables are traceable and reproducible.
• Reporting & Visualization: Build interactive dashboards, detailed reports, and presentation decks for internal stakeholders and external partners, using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Spotfire.
• Vendor & Data Source Evaluation: Assess new real‑world data vendors, conduct data quality assessments, and recommend strategic data acquisition decisions.
• Regulatory & Compliance Support: Align analytical work with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), data privacy regulations (HIPAA, GDPR), and industry standards for evidence generation.
• Continuous Learning: Stay abreast of emerging methodologies in epidemiology, health economics, and AI‑driven analytics, and share knowledge across the team.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Epidemiology, or related field).
• Minimum 2‑3 years of experience designing and executing robust statistical analyses for health‑related data, preferably in an RWE or observational research setting.
• Proficiency with statistical software (R, SAS, Stata, or Python) and experience applying advanced methods such as mixed‑effects models, survival analysis, and propensity scoring.
• Hands‑on experience handling large, multi‑source data sets (claims, EMR, registries, or device data) and ensuring data privacy and security.
• Strong knowledge of data visualization and business intelligence tools (Power BI, Tableau, Spotfire, or similar).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analytical results into clear, actionable insights for diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently in a remote environment while maintaining strong collaboration with cross‑functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications & Additional Skills

• Advanced degree (PhD, MSc) in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Health Economics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Experience with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, health‑insurance claims data, and clinical data standards (ICD‑9/10, SNOMED CT, Read Codes).
• Familiarity with regulatory guidelines for real‑world evidence (e.g., FDA’s RWE framework, EMA guidelines, ISO 14155).
• Exposure to cloud‑based data platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and data engineering concepts such as ETL pipelines and data lake architecture.
• Knowledge of machine learning libraries (scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their application to health data.
• Experience with Bayesian modeling, hierarchical modeling, or advanced causal inference techniques.
• Ability to develop and maintain reproducible research workflows using version control (Git) and containerization (Docker).
• Strong project management skills, including the ability to prioritize multiple projects, meet deadlines, and communicate progress to stakeholders.

Core Skills & Competencies for Success

• Analytical Rigor: A meticulous approach to data cleaning, validation, and statistical testing.
• Problem‑Solving Mindset: Ability to identify knowledge gaps, formulate research questions, and design appropriate analytical strategies.
• Collaboration & Influence: Skilled at building relationships with clinicians, data engineers, and external partners to drive consensus on study design and interpretation.
• Communication Excellence: Proficiency in crafting clear, concise reports and delivering compelling presentations to both scientific and business audiences.
