Join Amplity, the full-service go-to partner of biopharma companies that delivers flexible + specialized medical + commercial services. No matter where a drug is in its lifecycle, we scale with ease to maximize resources + improve impact for all our clients. Through strategic partnerships + deep therapeutic expertise, Amplity transforms how breakthrough treatments reach the people who need them.
The Director, Intel Consulting is a scientifically trained consulting leader who sits between Amplity's data science team and our clients' most important business questions. As our data scientists work through the AnswerY platform to generate rich analytic outputs from structured and unstructured real-world data, including patient journeys, treatment patterns, provider behavior, and utilization trends, the Director is responsible for making sense of those insights. The Director interprets findings through a clinical and scientific lens, assesses them for validity, and translates them into clear, defensible answers and recommendations for pharmaceutical and biotechnology clients.
This is not a model-building role; it is a scientific interpretation and consulting role. The ideal candidate brings the scientific depth of a medical or scientific strategy leader, with a deep understanding of disease biology, treatment paradigms, clinical evidence, and study design, and applies that expertise to data-driven insights. Equally credible with a client's Medical Affairs team and its Commercial leadership, the Director serves as a trusted advisor who can bridge scientific rigor with business needs. The Director also partners closely with Business Development to grow and retain Intel client relationships.
