- Deep expertise in U.S. healthcare data (e.g., claims, EMR, MMIT, IQVIA, Symphony, Komodo)
- Proficient in SQL; experience with analytic development in Snowflake, Redshift, or similar platforms
- Robust knowledge of data engineering in pharma, with a track record of working within regulatory constraints (e.g., HIPAA)
- Familiarity with scripting and data frameworks (e.g., PySpark, Python, dbt, Airflow)
- Strong client presence, slide-writing, and insight communication skills
