[PRI] Sr Engagement Lead-Analytics at ProcDNA in Princeton, NJ

Job description

• ProcDNA is building out a dedicated Medical Affairs consulting and analytics practice. This role is one of the founding hires — someone who can operate as a strong engagement leader on live client work and help shape what the practice becomes, rather than stepping into an already-defined book of business. Expect the balance of the job to skew toward proactive solutioning, point-of-view development, and offering-building in year one, alongside hands-on delivery..

Responsibilities

• Practice Building & Solutioning
• Help define and continuously sharpen ProcDNA's Medical Affairs Analytics point of view — identifying where evidence generation, field medical effectiveness, medical information/insight workflows, and emerging AI use cases create the biggest client opportunity.
• Convert client conversations and market signals into reusable frameworks, accelerators, and demo-able assets the practice can reuse across pursuits, rather than one-off engagement artifacts.
• Represent ProcDNA's Medical Affairs point of view externally — industry forums (e.g., MAPS), webinars, published perspectives — to build the practice's visibility and credibility in market.
• Client Delivery & Relationship Management
• Lead Medical Affairs consulting engagements end-to-end across the product lifecycle — including analytics-heavy workstreams (evidence gap analysis, KOL/insight analytics, field medical effectiveness, medical information/evidence workflows) — managing multiple concurrent projects with high delivery quality and measurable business impact.
• Own responsibility for work product quality and its relevance to client decision-making.
• Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders (typically Director/Senior Director level), and contribute meaningfully to expanding those accounts.
• Translate ambiguous business and scientific questions into structured analytical approaches that support both scientific and commercial decision-making.
• Analytics & Technical Execution
• Identify evidence gaps and answer scientific and business questions through hands-on data analysis and research — this is a core, non-negotiable part of the role.
• Apply strong analytical judgment across structured and unstructured data; hands-on fluency in SQL, Python, Power BI or Tableau, and familiarity with Veeva (CRM/Vault) data structures required.
• GenAI/NLP application experience (e.g., unstructured medical insight mining, literature synthesis, content generation workflows) is a strong plus.
• Team & Capability Building
• Mentor and coach consulting team members, setting the delivery and analytical quality bar for the practice.
• Contribute to internal capability building — recruiting, knowledge management, training content, and reusable IP — as a founding member of a growing practice.
• Business Development Support
• Contribute to proposals, solution design, effort estimation, and client-facing pursuit materials.
• Support senior leadership in client presentations and pursuit conversations; prepare executive-ready analysis and materials.

Requirements

• 8+ years in Medical Affairs/life sciences consulting or an analogous analytics-heavy consulting environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with SQL, Python, and a BI tool (Power BI/Tableau); Veeva ecosystem exposure preferred.
• Track record of leading client engagements directly, not just contributing to them.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity — this role has more "define the approach" work than "execute the defined plan" work.
• Based in the US.
