Manager, Real World Strategy and Innovation

In our Real World (RW) Strategy & Innovation group, we set the strategy and drive innovation for Real World Evidence (RWE) in the US, in collaboration with other IQVIA RWS teams.

We are strategic thinkers, innovative technologists, deep subject matter experts and data evangelists who are passionate about driving better performance in healthcare. We are collaborative, intellectually courageous, entrepreneurial, and disruptive. Plus, we have the resources and structure of a large company in an environment where we empower our people to create their own solutions.
