As a Senior Data Strategy & Acquisition Analyst within GATE, you will be a recognized subject-matter expert on the U.S. healthcare data landscape. You will go beyond responding to requests — you will proactively scout, evaluate, and unlock new data assets that expand what Roche's U.S. commercial organization can see and act on. You will operate as a genuine thought partner to U.S. brand, market access, forecasting, field operations, and advanced analytics teams across multiple therapeutic areas, shaping decisions on multi-million-dollar data investments.
The Opportunity
Multi-Facet Data Asset Portfolio : Own the evaluation, acquisition, and lifecycle management of a broad and diverse portfolio of U.S. healthcare data assets — claims, EHR/EMR and clinical real-world data, specialty pharmacy and hub data, lab and biomarker/genomic testing data, payer and formulary intelligence, sales and distribution, provider reference and affiliation data, patient-level longitudinal data, and competitive/market intelligence.

Vendor Evaluation & Head-to-Head Benchmarking: Evaluate new and incumbent vendors (eg:-IQVIA, Komodo Health, Clarivate/DRG, MMIT, Optum, Truveta, Flatiron, Verana ), on methodology, capture and coverage, patient/provider linkage, recency and lag, known biases, limitations, and fit-for-purpose. Design and run structured bake-offs and overlap analyses rather than relying on vendor claims
External Partnerships: Act as the primary technical counterpart to external data vendors — interrogating source methodologies, resolving data quality queries, influencing roadmap and enhancement requests, and supporting renewal and expansion discussions with an evidence-backed point of view
Data Profiling & Risk Assessment : Perform hands-on profiling, cross-source comparison, and validation. Quantify gaps, challenge assumptions, and provide constructive pushback to ensure…
