Primary Responsibilities:

1. Data Analysis and Reporting: Utilize visualization tools to create, maintain, and optimize interactive dashboards and reports that provide actionable insights into pharmacy operations, patient outcomes, and medication usage. Analyze complex data sets and algorithms to provide actionable insights.

3. Statistical Analysis: Apply statistical methods to analyze pharmacy data, identify trends, and generate predictive models to support decision-making processes.
4. Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including pharmacists, IT, and management, to understand data needs and deliver tailored analytical solutions. Collaborate effectively with multiple global advanced analytics teams, leveraging IP from each team for solution development.
5. Performance Monitoring: Track and evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs) related to pharmacy operations and patient care, providing regular updates and recommendations for improvement.
6. Innovation: Continuously seek opportunities to enhance data analytics processes and tools, staying up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies. Develop measures based on integrating multiple datasets (both internal and publicly available data).
7. Iterative Development: Comfort in working in a highly iterative development cycle.
8. Business Requirements: Gather and document business requirements to ensure analytical solutions meet stakeholder needs.

You will be rewarded and recognised for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role, as well as providing development for other roles you may be interested in.

Required Qualifications:

1. Educational Background: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Data Science, Pharmacy, or a related field.
2. Proven significant experience in data analysis, with a focus on pharmacy data as an advantage.
3. Technical Skills: High Proficiency in Power BI development.
4. Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and generate actionable insights.
5. Creativity: Ability to think creatively and develop innovative solutions to complex problems.
6. Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present data findings clearly and concisely to non-technical stakeholders.
7. Drive: Self-motivated and driven, with a strong commitment to continuous learning and professional development.

Preferred Qualifications:
