• Challenge assumptions by raising data-driven hypotheses and alternatives; escalate risks or anomalies and propose mitigation steps (e.g., sample/source adjustments, instrument refinements).
• Contribute to PMR capability building by researching and piloting new tools/methods and adopting internal/external best practices under guidance from a Manager.
• Translate PMR findings into actionable insights with clear narratives, visualizations, and recommendations tailored to brand objectives.
• Ensure compliance and quality for both routine and ad-hoc projects, adhering to Amgen SOPs and service-level expectations for quality, timeliness, and budget.
• Build productive cross-functional relationships with partners such as Global Marketing, Sales Ops, Global Strategic Sourcing, and Compliance to align on objectives, inputs, and outputs.
