Our mission is to empower people to lead healthier lives by providing seamless access to medicines, wellness products, and evidence‑based health information. As part of our commitment to scientific excellence, arenaflex invests heavily in real‑world evidence (RWE) research, leveraging massive data sets to answer critical questions for pharmaceutical partners, regulators, and internal decision‑makers. Position Summary arenaflex is seeking a highly motivated Remote Real‑World Evidence (RWE) Data Scientist to join our Clinical Data Science team. In this role you will design, develop, and execute rigorous data‑analysis pipelines that transform raw clinical and claims data into actionable insights. You will work closely with clinicians, epidemiologists, and external pharmaceutical collaborators to generate certifiable evidence that informs drug development, health‑economics assessments, and strategic market decisions. This is a full‑time, remote opportunity offering a competitive hourly rate of $26, flexible working hours, and a supportive, collaborative environment. Key Responsibilities Extract, clean, and harmonize large‑scale real‑world data (RWD) from internal electronic health records (EHR), claims databases, and external registries to create a unified, analysis‑ready data lake. Design and implement reproducible statistical analyses—including propensity‑score matching, survival analysis, hierarchical modeling, and Bayesian inference—to answer clinical and health‑economic research questions. Collaborate with arenaflex’s Clinical Research team to translate business problems into analytical plans, ensuring alignment with regulatory standards (e.g., GCP, ISO, CFR). Develop interactive dashboards and visualizations using Power BI, Tableau, or Spotfire that communicate complex findings to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. Lead the evaluation of new data sources (e.g., wearable devices, patient‑generated health data) and assess data quality, completeness, and suitability for RWE studies. Document analytical methods, validation procedures, and results in a transparent, audit‑ready format to support regulatory submissions and internal decision‑making. Mentor junior analysts on best practices in data engineering, statistical programming, and scientific writing. Stay current with emerging methodologies in causal inference, machine learning, and health‑technology assessment to continuously improve arenaflex’s analytical capabilities. Essential Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Epidemiology, Health Informatics, or a related quantitative field. Minimum 2 years of hands‑on experience conducting robust observational research using real‑world health data. Proficiency in statistical programming languages such as R or Python, including packages for survival analysis, mixed‑effects modeling, and Bayesian methods. Demonstrated ability to work with large, multi‑source datasets (e.g., claims, EHR, registries) and apply data‑wrangling tools like SQL, Alteryx, or Apache Spark. Strong knowledge of data privacy regulations (HIPAA, GDPR) and experience handling protected health information (PHI) securely. Familiarity with at least one business intelligence platform (Power BI, Tableau, Spotfire) for building dashboards and visual analytics. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical results into clear, actionable recommendations for diverse audiences. Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (PhD, MSc) in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with electronic medical record (EMR) systems, health‑insurance claims data, and disease‑specific registries. Knowledge of clinical terminology standards (ICD‑9/10, SNOMED CT, Read Codes) and familiarity with ontologies used in health data integration. Background in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and regulatory compliance for real‑world evidence generation (e.g., ISO 14155, MDD/MDR, CFR 21 Part 11). Hands‑on experience with machine‑learning pipelines, including feature engineering, model validation, and deployment in a cloud environment. Exposure to Bayesian statistics, hierarchical modeling, and advanced time‑series analysis for longitudinal health data. Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional projects, manage timelines, and deliver high‑quality results under tight deadlines.
