Position Title: Analyst, Data Analytics
Work Location: Irvine, CA (Hybrid)
Assignment Duration: 12 Months

Position Summary:
Perform quantitative analysis using Python (e.g., pandas, NumPy, visualization libraries) to support clinical trial operations such as enrollment, costing, and resourcing, and to develop forecasting and decision-support outputs for key stakeholders (e.g., Clinical Affairs, Regulatory and Medical Affairs, Strategy, Global Supply Chain, Finance).

Investigate, assess, and interpret clinical and operational data to support strategic decision-making, including early signal detection related to enrollment trends, protocol adherence, site performance, and data quality, while proposing moderately complex solutions and recommendations.

Key Responsibilities:
• Perform quantitative analysis using Python (e.g., pandas, NumPy, visualization libraries) to support clinical trial operations such as enrollment, costing, and resourcing, and to develop forecasting and decision-support outputs for key stakeholders (e.g., Clinical Affairs, Regulatory and Medical Affairs, Strategy, Global Supply Chain, Finance).
• Investigate, assess, and interpret clinical and operational data to support strategic decision-making, including early signal detection related to enrollment trends, protocol adherence, site performance, and data quality, while proposing moderately complex solutions and recommendations.
• Modify, extend, and maintain analysis tools and workflows—primarily in Python—by leveraging existing clinical models (e.g., inventory, case management, headcount, trial enrollment, site activations/deactivations) while applying clinical trial domain knowledge.
• Organize, analyze, and create reproducible analyses, reports, dashboards, and data extracts to summarize moderately complex challenges across clinical affairs projects, programs, and initiatives.
• Apply statistical methods (e.g., descriptive statistics, trend analysis, basic inferential methods) as appropriate to quantify uncertainty, monitor performance, and support interpretation of clinical and operational signals.
• Lead portions of clinical analytics projects in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., Clinical Operations, Biostatistics, vendors, and internal analytics partners).
• Identify and propose data-driven process improvements related to clinical affairs operations (e.g., screening efficiency, site start-up, physician training, data review workflows).
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualification & Experience:
• Bachelor's Degree Required
• 3 years of previous related experience Required
• Experience in a quantitative, analytical, or programming-heavy role Preferred
• Experience working in clinical research or clinical trial operations within the medical device industry Preferred
• Strong proficiency in Python for data analysis, including developing maintainable scripts and notebooks for clinical and operational datasets
• Proven expertise in Excel and PowerPoint and other MS Office Suite applications (Word, Access)
• Solid understanding of quantitative and statistical methodologies, with the ability to apply them pragmatically in a clinical operations context
• Experience with signal detection, trend monitoring, or anomaly identification in complex datasets preferred
• Good written and verbal communication skills and interpersonal relationship skills
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, analytical, and critical-thinking skills
• Moderate knowledge and understanding of Edwards policies, procedures, and guidelines relevant to clinical trial data analytics
• Strict attention to detail and data quality
