## About the Role

* Education: Advanced university degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in Data Science, Statistics, Biostatistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
 * Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in data science or biostatistics, with a strong focus on digital health technologies (DHTs), digital biomarkers, or clinical trial outcome measures.
 * Statistical & Validation Expertise:
 * Deep expertise in statistical validation methodologies (analytical/clinical validation, psychometric evaluation, longitudinal modeling, mixed-effects models, survival analysis).
 * Strong background in addressing remote data challenges (missing data imputation, trajectory modeling, noise reduction).
 * Familiarity with regulatory requirements and frameworks for endpoint qualification (DiME V3 framework, FDA DHT guidance).
 * Client Engagement & Pre-Sales Savvy:
 * Demonstrated experience in customer-facing roles, scientific advisory, or pre-sales consulting within the biopharma or digital health domain.
 * Proven ability to understand client trial objectives and consult on value-adding endpoint integration strategies.
 * Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Python (alternatively R) for statistical modeling, visualization, and reproducible reporting.
 * Communication: Outstanding written and verbal English skills, with a track record of peer-reviewed publications and experience presenting technical concepts to non-technical executives and clinical teams.

Nice-to-Haves

 * Domain knowledge in movement disorders or neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease) and familiarity with clinical rating scales (e.g., MDS-UPDRS, cUHDRS).
 * Experience participating in regulatory agency meetings (IND, FDA pre-subs, EMA scientific advice, ISTAND/DDT programs).
 * Basic familiarity with time-series analysis or signal processing concepts (sufficient to interface with signal processing engineers).

## Description

Statistical Validation & Endpoint Methodology

 * Lead statistical analysis activities to establish the psychometric properties, construct validity, test-retest reliability, and responsiveness of novel digital endpoints derived from mobile technologies.
 * Design and execute statistical analysis plans (SAPs) for clinical validation studies, utilizing longitudinal modeling techniques to track disease progression and evaluate treatment effects.
 * Develop robust statistical strategies to handle remote sensor data challenges, including non-compliance, variable wear time, and missing data.
 * Align validation workflows with industry frameworks, such as the Digital Medicine Society (DiME) V3 framework (Verification, Analytical Validation, Clinical Validation) and FDA DHT guidance.

Pre-Sales Consulting & Customer Solution Strategy

 * Serve as the data scientific subject matter experts in pre-sales calls, sponsor meetings, and scientific advisory boards, effectively communicating the scientific rigor behind Navify solutions.
 * Collaborate directly with biopharma customers to understand their drug development pipelines and co-design optimal digital endpoint strategies for their clinical trials.
 * Translate complex statistical concepts and validation evidence into clear value propositions, supporting the commercial team in developing high-impact sales collateral and proposals.
 * Provide scientific and statistical support to address ad-hoc customer queries regarding data interpretation and trial design.

Regulatory & Scientific Dissemination

 * Contribute quantitative evidence and statistical sections to briefing packages for regulatory agencies (e.g., FDA, EMA) to support endpoint qualification and pre-submission interactions.
 * Author and co-author high-impact, peer-reviewed journal articles to establish the biological, clinical, and patient relevance of digital readouts in PD and HD.
 * Build compelling visual presentations and clinical narratives to communicate data insights to multidisciplinary internal and external stakeholders.
