At Patient Centered Science our purpose is to generate impactful evidence about patient outcomes, experiences, behaviors and preferences. By using qualitative and quantitative methods and research, PCS supports a patient-focused drug development by identifying what is important to patients and how to best capture those patient experiences by selecting, modifying, or developing Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) and other Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA).

You will direct execution of these strategies to deliver high-quality evidence supporting products’ regulatory approval, commercialization, and reimbursement. You will drive patient-focused drug development, develop and deliver projects and therapeutic area PCS strategies. You will lead evidence generation to support fit-for purpose PRO/COA and ensure PCS strategy is implemented through cross-functional collaborations. You will also lead interactions with health authorities and health agencies, disseminate PCS-related evidence in scientific publications, and drive methodological innovations that advance patient-centered science.
