**Job Description Summary**
IQVIA provides scientific services spanning clinical trials, real world evidence, and consulting in all areas of the product lifecycle. Our Clinical Outcomes Assessments (COAs) organisation leads the industry in generating data to ensure that the patient voice is incorporated into the development and commercialization of medication and other drug/non-drug interventions.
We focus on understanding and meeting the needs of our clients - mostly life science/pharmaceutical companies - through the application of broad consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to conduct scientifically rigorous research. This research is broad and includes qualitative, quantitative, and passive approaches to understand patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional experiences and expectations of disease and treatment.
The COA Accelerator ecosystem is expanding its AI-enabled capabilities to help internal teams and external clients generate evidence-backed COA strategy recommendations. These capabilities depend on high-quality, traceable, well-governed, AI-ready data assets spanning COA instrument information, psychometric evidence, regulatory precedent, clinical trial records, scientific publications, internal consulting deliverables, and related sources. The Data Engineer will play a critical role in transforming fragmented clinical, regulatory, scientific, and proprietary content into structured, searchable, and secure knowledge assets that power AI-enabled COA strategy workflows.
To meet our client expectations and retain the excellent reputation built up over time, the IQVIA COAs team is committed to recruiting, training and supporting driven individuals who have life science, consulting, product development, data engineering, and/or AI-enablement skills that can be applied to COA research and technology-enabled offerings.
Individuals joining us are assured of a rewarding and progressive career in patient-focused research. You'll have the opportunity to address challenging client issues, across multiple geographies, with a hands-on influence in developing and delivering innovative solutions. We operate in a truly multi-cultural, collegial and collaborative work environment that is rich in development and growth.
