What you will do

Let’s do this! Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will have responsibilities for various research activities in CfOR’s Data and Analytics Center (DAC) Pharmacovigilance Epidemiology (PV Epi) team.

With a constantly increasing demand for information from regulatory and reimbursement agencies, Observational research (OR) has become a critical component in drug development and commercialization.  Amgen’s Center for Observational Research (CfOR) partners with internal and external teams to generate real world evidence for multiple stakeholders across the product lifecycle. The CfOR contributes evidence regarding the frequency and distribution of disease or the clinical burden of disease, the natural history or clinical course of disease, the design of clinical trials, cost and utilization patterns and the safety and effectiveness of interventions. ​

With the on-going growth and planned expansion of Amgen’s CfOR, there will be multiple opportunities for Observational Research Senior Managers (Epidemiology) that will be responsible for research activities on therapeutic/product or Data and Analytics Center (DAC) functionally aligned teams.  The CfOR Senior Manager is recognized as a strong scientific contributor and a first or contributing author for papers in peer-reviewed journals, abstracts for scientific congresses and internal reports that enhance the company’s mission.  Preferably, CfOR Senior Managers will be located on the Amgen corporate campus in Thousand Oaks, CA, but remote working opportunities may also be available.

Key activities of a CfOR Senior Manager include:

• Designing and executing studies to support evidence generation such as identifying appropriate patient populations, assessing disease burden and resource utilization, obtaining product registrations and label-expansions, meeting post-marketing requirements/commitments and product differentiation.
• Finding opportunities to substitute for and/or complement interventional studies to reduce time and cost of drug development.
• Influencing cross-functional partners in the utilization and timing of non-interventional research to answer high-priority strategic business questions.
• Demonstrating real-world data and CfOR analytic approaches to inform high-value business decisions for multiple partners.
• Tracking business and functional priorities and aligning resources for those priorities.
• Contributing to the mission of the CfOR including progressing innovative epidemiological methods and analytical capabilities to support the CfOR’s leadership role within Amgen and the industry.
