Why This Role Matters

In the rapidly evolving world of real‑world evidence (RWE), the ability to transform raw health data into actionable insights is a competitive advantage. As a Remote Real‑World Evidence Data Scientist at arenaflex, you will sit at the intersection of data engineering, epidemiology, and strategic decision‑making. Your work will directly influence how biopharmaceutical partners design clinical trials, assess treatment effectiveness, and bring life‑changing therapies to patients faster and more safely.

Key Responsibilities

• Extract, clean, and standardize raw data sets to create reproducible, analysis‑ready patient cohorts from internal data warehouses and external partner feeds.
• Partner with cross‑functional stakeholders—including Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, and Business Development—to translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for RWE studies.
• Design and execute robust statistical analyses that address high‑impact business questions such as unmet medical needs, cost‑effectiveness, safety profiling, and treatment pattern evaluation.
• Develop and maintain a unified data lake that supports downstream analytics, machine‑learning pipelines, and self‑service reporting for internal teams.
• Perform advanced data mining and statistical modeling (e.g., generalized linear models, survival analysis, unsupervised learning) to uncover hidden trends in patient populations and therapeutic outcomes.
• Support the continuous improvement of arenaflex’s real‑world data (RWD) platforms by integrating new data sources, enhancing data quality controls, and adopting emerging analytics technologies.
• Collaborate on the design and execution of outcomes research studies, ensuring methodological rigor and regulatory compliance.
• Produce high‑quality, interpretable deliverables—including dashboards, visualizations, and technical reports—for both internal leadership and external partners.
• Conduct due‑diligence assessments of new RWD vendors, evaluating data provenance, completeness, and suitability for specific research objectives.
• Mentor junior analysts and contribute to a culture of data‑driven decision making across the organization.

Essential Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related field).
• Experience: Minimum of 4 years in a quantitative or computational role, with proven expertise in R, Python, and/or SQL.
• Statistical Expertise: Demonstrated ability to design and execute reproducible statistical analyses for epidemiologic and observational health studies, including familiarity with GLMs, classification, decision trees, clustering, time‑series, and survival analysis.
• Data Management: Hands‑on experience processing large‑scale data from heterogeneous sources, including claims, EMR, and registry datasets.
• Healthcare Knowledge: Experience handling protected health information (PHI) in compliance with HIPAA and other privacy regulations.
• BI Tools: Proficiency with at least one business intelligence platform such as Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx, Spotfire, or similar.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. or advanced degree in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
