• Support thought leadership activities, conference participation, and client-facing marketing initiatives.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Operate as a senior leader within cross-functional project teams, influencing without direct authority.

• Provide clear direction, context, and feedback to project team members to ensure strong execution.

• Mentor junior team members and contribute to capability building within the MedTech Consulting Services group.

• Collaborate closely with peers, delivery leadership, and global teams to ensure consistency and quality across engagements.

Strategic Thinking

• Help shape study approaches, methodologies, and value stories that differentiate IQVIA in the market.

• Balance client demands with commercial discipline, delivery rigor, and internal standards.

Required

• 15+ years of experience in MedTech market research, consulting, or commercial strategy.

• Demonstrated success leading complex qualitative and quantitative research engagements.

• Strong client-facing presence with the ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders.
