The Position The global Insights function empowers affiliates and global leadership with deep market intelligence, competitive analysis, customer understanding, and commercial analytics. Combining centralized data capabilities, advanced analytics, and strategic advisory, the team delivers evidence-based decision support to drive commercial planning, resource allocation, and sustained business growth across diverse healthcare markets.
As the Country Insights Partner, you serve as the primary insights interface for assigned affiliates, operating with a direct affiliate-level scope of impact on commercial planning and marketing investment decisions, while driving indirect global impact through the quality of field intelligence fed back to global teams. In this role, your time is balanced between strategic initiatives (approximately 60% focused on business planning support, competitive advisory, insight synthesis, and multi-year to annual recommendations) and operational execution (approximately 40% focused on regular report production, data product adoption, and research coordination).
The Opportunity
• Analysis & Insights Generation (~35%): Develop and deliver regular market and competitive reports for assigned affiliates by combining global data sources with local market knowledge; monitor and analyze competitor activity, product launches, pricing moves, and market access developments; conduct affiliate-specific analyses (local competitive assessments, market sizing, opportunity identification) using available data sources and tools; and provide affiliate leadership with timely, contextualized updates on market dynamics affecting commercial performance.
• Insight Synthesis & Decision Support (~25%): Partner with affiliate Strategic Marketing Leads and commercial leadership to support business planning with evidence-based market context and recommendations; synthesize intelligence across domains (market trends, customer feedback, campaign performance) to identify opportunities and blind spots; participate in affiliate planning cycles, commercial reviews, and launch readiness assessments as the insights representative; and advise on areas warranting further investigation by connecting affiliates to the right global specialist when deeper analytical work is required.
• Data Capture & Local Intelligence (~20%): Collect local field intelligence, competitor signals, and customer feedback from affiliate stakeholders and commercial teams; identify market dynamics not visible in global data (emerging competitors, regulatory changes, tender dynamics, customer behavior shifts); feed local insights back to global teams for incorporation into global reporting and product development; channel affiliate requirements to global teams for prioritization; and maintain awareness of relevant local data vendors and syndicated sources to advise the global vendor and partner management capability on local data buying priorities and recommend new sources where gaps exist.
• Insights Dissemination & Enablement (~20%): Drive adoption of global data products, dashboards, and insight tools across assigned affiliates; educate affiliate stakeholders on available insight products and support their effective use; provide feedback to global teams on product relevance, usability, and gaps based on affiliate experience; and build visibility of the Insights function's value to establish yourself as a trusted advisor.
• Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration: Connect affiliates to the right global resources for commercial and account-related analytics needs, collaborating closely with Insights Business Specialists (who provide analytical and research support to help deliver against affiliate priorities) and engaging the CoE Subchapter Lead (line manager), Global Strategic Insights Leads, Insights Solution Managers & Leads, Advanced Analytics, and fellow Country Insights Business Partners for regional coordination and pattern sharing.
• Stakeholder Engagement & Advisory: Act as an individual contributor (with no direct reports) solving varied, semi-structured, and cross-functional business problems; regularly interact with and influence affiliate Strategic Marketing Leads and Solution Marketing Leads; support Product Leads/Managers with competitive product-level intelligence and tender dynamics; handle bespoke requests for General/Country Managers; and deliver periodic presentations to affiliate leadership teams to communicate critical market dynamics.
• Budgetary Influence: While this role does not directly own a budget—as research and data product budgets are managed centrally at the chapter and subchapter level—you directly influence the prioritization of research spend and data procurement through affiliate requirement articulation.
Who You Are
• Education & Formal Training: Bachelor's degree required in business, marketing, life sciences, economics, or a quantitative discipline; Master's degree (MBA, MSc) or equivalent preferred.
• Industry & Affiliate Experience: 5 to 8 years (depending on market assignment and specific position) of progressive experience in market research, competitive intelligence, commercial analytics, or a related function within the diagnostics, life sciences, or medtech industry; strong understanding of the IVD market, healthcare systems, and laboratory workflows; and preferred experience working in or with affiliate/country-level commercial organizations.
• Analytical & Strategic Acumen: Proven track record of independently conducting market and competitive analyses, producing actionable reports, interpreting dashboards, statistical outputs, and market models, and understanding how insights drive business planning, marketing investment decisions, and commercial outcomes.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Exceptional insight communication and executive presence to distill complex data into clear narratives for senior commercial audiences (both written and verbal); proven ability to advise and constructively challenge business leadership in a matrixed environment across diverse cultures and varying business practices.
• Tools & Languages: Proficiency with market research platforms, BI/visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI), and standard business applications; excellent written and spoken English required, with local language proficiency required depending on the assigned market context.
