The mission of the Data Intelligence team is to optimize the support of clinical systems to provide high-quality clinical trial data insights and to offer data science-related consultation to the study teams. We leverage cutting-edge data science and operation data management to facilitate the study start-up planning. We develop advanced analytical data visualization and conduct predictive analysis to increase the efficiency of clinical data review and clinical operations with the ultimate goal of driving data-driven decision-making throughout the study lifecycle.

The Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) Data Analyst sits in the Data Intelligence team and supports ECD study teams by delivering timely and high-quality centralized monitoring tools and analysis, including but not limited to the development and maintenance of reports for study specific Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) and Quality Tolerance Limit parameters (QTLs). The RBQM Data Analyst collaborates with RBQM Strategic Leads and other RBQM workgroup members to develop and operationalize the integrated Quality Risk Management Plan (iQRMP) and associated risk mitigation and control strategies, provide processes and tools for oversight of the overall risk and issues management, and offer continuous knowledge sharing and improvement of best practices for study teams to follow. The RBQM Data Analyst participates and contributes to cross-business unit RBQM workstreams.



Primary Responsibilities:

- Collaborate closely with RBQM Strategic Leads and other RBQM workgroup members to operationalize the integrated Quality Risk Management Plan (iQRMP), and to manage the identification of critical-to-quality (CtQ) factors, development of risk control strategies, and implementation of risk mitigation activities.

- Collaborate with the global RBQM Center of Excellence (COE) to drive the design and improvement of technology and analysis solutions necessary for RBQM implementation, including in-house systems and potential external technologies.

- Support RBQM Strategic Leads and study teams in selection, set up and maintenance of reports for Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), Quality Tolerance Limit parameters (QTLs), and other applicable assessments and dashboards, ensuring consistency by adopting applicable global standards.

- Lead and perform peer reviews and QC of the ECD specific setup of KRIs and QTLs vs iQRMP and system specifications, as required.

- Support study teams to conduct data surveillance and issue management by defining consistent risk control strategies and acceptable risk limits in collaboration with the RBQM Strategic Leads and other RBQM workgroup members.

- Deliver timely and high-quality risk-based monitoring analytics and support.

- Provide training and knowledge sharing to study teams to promote RBQM analysis solutions and best practices.

- Lead centralized systematic data surveillance across studies in ECD, document surveillance activities, and assess control measure outputs for necessary mitigating actions.

- Analyze data for meaningful trends, trigger mitigating actions, and identify potential issues for knowledge sharing across studies.

- Ensure inspection readiness for the ECD specific RBQM analysis solutions.
