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 US 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 US brand strategy, performance management, and commercial execution across assigned brands and indications.
Apply advanced proficiency in US pharmaceutical commercial data sources — including patient-level claims, EMR, specialty pharmacy, and sales data — 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 US 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 — at national and subnational levels.
Integrate and analyze diverse US commercial data sources — including real-world data (claims, EMR), 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.
Lead custom reporting and complex ad hoc analysis requests with independent hypothesis formulation, rigorous methodology, and well-documented, insight-rich outputs.
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 US 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 national and subnational geographies and payer channel types.
Proactively identify opportunities to automate and scale recurring reporting workflows using SQL, Python, or Databricks, reducing manual effort and improving analytical reproducibility.
Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication
Partner with GCC Managers and US 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 US 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.
