United by one profound purpose: to reach EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE. At Avalere Health, we ensure every patient is identified, treated, supported, and cared for. Equally. Our Advisory, Medical, and Marketing teams come together – powerfully and intentionally – to forge unconventional connections, building a future where healthcare is not a barrier and no patient is left behind.
Achieving our mission starts with providing enriching, purpose-driven careers for our team that empower them to make a tangible impact on patient lives. We are committed to creating a culture where our employees are empowered to bring their whole selves to work and tap into the power of diverse backgrounds and skillsets to play a part in making a difference for every patient, everywhere.
Our flexible approach to working allows our global teams to decide where they want to work, whether in-office or at home based on team and client need. Major city hubs in London, Manchester, Washington, D.C., and New York, and smaller offices globally, serve as collaboration hubs allowing our teams to come together when it matters. Homeworkers are equally supported, with dedicated social opportunities and resources.
Our inclusive culture is at the heart of everything we do. We proudly support our employees in bringing their whole selves to work with our six Employee Network Groups – Diverse Ability, Family, Gender, LGBTQ+, Mental Health, and Race/Ethnicity. These groups provide opportunities to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and to connect, learn, and socialise through regular meetings and programs of activity. We are an accredited Fertility Friendly employer with our Fertility Policy, enhanced parental leave, and culture of flexibility ensuring every employee feels supported across their family planning journey and can work in a way that suits their family’s needs.
We are deeply invested in supporting professional growth for our employees through day-to-day career experiences, access to thousands of on-demand training sessions, regular career conversations, and the opportunity for global, cross-capability career moves.

- Provide subject matter expertise and strategic oversight for life-science economic models (e.g., gross-to-net, ASP), ensuring outputs are robust and actionable.
- Support internal capability building by contributing thought leadership and enhancing analytic best practices across the organization.
About you
- 8+ years of experience in healthcare data analytics with at least 3+ years focused on market access, commercialization analytics, or related consulting/life sciences roles.
- Graduate degree in a health-related discipline or equivalent relevant work experience in healthcare analytics, market access, or a related field.

- Familiarity with query or data management applications such as Databricks or Snowflake
- Strong track record of leading client engagements and contributing to business development efforts.
- Experience in economic modeling (e.g., GtN, ASP) in the life sciences and the ability to oversee and train others in these methodologies.
- Expert-level programming experience in SQL, SAS, Python, or R, with the ability to guide teams and review code for accuracy.
