Data and Insights Manager | Global Pharmaceutical Business | Contract

End date: 29 January 2027

Sector: Pharmaceutical, commercial and marketing operations

A global pharmaceutical organisation is building out its commercial insights capability and is bringing in a Data and Insights Manager on contract to support its UK and Ireland commercial operations team.

This is a role for someone who wants their analysis to change decisions rather than just report on them. You will sit close to a business unit, own the insight behind brand planning and forecasting, and put recommendations in front of senior commercial and finance stakeholders.

The work

  • Market, brand and competitor analysis feeding strategic and operational brand planning
  • Performance tracking against brand KPIs, with clear read outs back to the brand teams
  • Scoping and managing market research and third party analytics projects
  • Patient number, market and revenue forecasting alongside finance and cross functional partners, including presenting the story behind the numbers to senior leadership
  • Improving the commercial reporting and dashboarding environment with the wider insights team
  • Customer engagement analytics including segmentation and next best action
  • Coaching more junior analysts and lifting data capability across the commercial function

What is needed

  • Commercial insights or analytics experience within pharma, ideally with UK and Ireland market understanding
  • Forecasting capability, which is a firm requirement rather than a nice to have
  • Comfort with pharmaceutical data sources such as IQVIA, specialist share data, NHS data and in market or ex factory sales data
  • Power BI, or an equivalent such as Tableau or Qlik, plus strong Excel
  • Someone credible enough to challenge senior stakeholders and clear enough to explain technical work to a non technical audience
