Working under the guidance of the Director of Data Science, they will translate client business needs into actionable analytics solutions, supporting all phases of pharmaceutical development. The Senior Data Scientist will also support product quality testing capabilities and, as a subject matter expert (SME), build capacity for advanced analytics solutions within the Services organization.

Responsibilities

• Lead analytical strategy and scope new advanced analytics offerings by overseeing client engagements end-to-end, including feasibility assessments, model development, and solution delivery for high-impact across the drug development lifecycle.
• Design and build prototype machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to extract actionable insights from complex, multimodal real-world data, including EHR, claims, clinical notes, genomics, and transcriptomics data.
• Collaborate with cross-functional internal teams (RWE, Data Science, Engineering) and external client stakeholders to tailor analytics / AI solutions, ensuring alignment with client objectives and scientific rigor.
• Conduct deep analytical reviews across ConcertAI's internal data pipelines and platforms (e.g., OMOP, FHIR, and proprietary pipelines) to maximize data utility and analytical impact.
• Contribute to product development efforts by translating analytical innovations into scalable platform capabilities and driving enhancements through quality testing and user feedback loops.

Requirements

• Ph.D. or Master's in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline.
• 6+ years of experience in applied data science, solutions engineering, or consulting roles within the life sciences, biotech, or healthcare industry, with proven impact on drug development or RWE initiatives.
• 4+ years of experience applying supervised and unsupervised ML/DL techniques to biomedical data.
• Strong knowledge of statistical inference, time-to-event modeling, and evaluation metrics in observational healthcare studies.
• Demonstrated experience working with large-scale multimodal datasets, including structured (EHR/claims) and/or unstructured (clinical notes, omics) data.
• Experience interfacing with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating analytical outputs into clinical or business action.
• Proficiency in one or more machine learning and deep learning frameworks such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Hugging Face Transformers, and in data visualization tools like matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly, or Streamlit for exploratory analysis and interactive reporting.

Technical Skills

• Programming Languages & Tools:
• Python (required), R (preferred), SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery), Jupyter, Git, Docker, Bash
• Preferred Deep Learning Expertise:
• Experience developing and fine-tuning models such as:
• Transformer-based architectures for clinical NLP (e.g., BERT, BioBERT, ClinicalBERT, Longformer)
• Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) for latent embedding of omics or high-dimensional structured data
• Diffusion models or generative networks for simulation, imputation, or representation learning tasks
• Preferred MLOps and Reproducibility:
• MLflow, DVC, Airflow, Prefect, Docker, GitHub Actions, Weights & Biases
