Role Summary
The Director, Strategy & Insights sits at the intersection of science and commercial strategy within Vi's Pharma vertical, translating complex scientific, behavioral, and market inputs into sharp, executive-level insights, strategies, and action plans that drive real outcomes for Fortune 500 biopharma clients. This is a high-ownership role built for someone who is as comfortable in the data as they are in the boardroom, who moves fast, and who holds a genuinely high bar for everything they put their name on. You’ll own client engagements end to end as a senior individual contributor, working hands-on and partnering cross-functionally across Vi.
What You’ll Do
- Own insight development end to end - from research design through executive-level client delivery - including decks, targeting strategies, and insight frameworks
- Translate complex scientific, behavioral, and market dynamics into clear, differentiated POVs and action plans that directly inform client commercial decisions
- Serve as the primary insights lead on key biopharma client engagements, acting as a trusted strategic partner to VP and C-suite stakeholders at Fortune 500 companies
- Operate across therapeutic areas and drug modalities with confidence, including pre-approval contexts such as clinical trial recruitment and disease state education, and post-approval work including precision marketing and HCP segmentation
- Proactively identify insight opportunities and white space for clients, bringing forward strategic recommendations before being asked
- Partner with Account Management, Client Services, and Product to embed insights across the client relationship and the Vi platform
What You’ll Bring
Scientific Depth and Commercial Fluency
- Deep scientific literacy across disease states, MOA, and clinical data - with the ability to credibly engage pharma clients on complex scientific and strategic questions
- Strong commercial instincts and a clear understanding of how insights translate into go-to-market decisions, HCP targeting, and patient engagement strategy
Senior Pharma Insights Experience
- 8 to 10+ years of relevant experience in pharma across strategy consulting, insights, medical communications, or agency - with a track record of independently leading client-facing engagements
- Hands-on experience with claims data, intent data, primary market research, and competitive intelligence across multiple therapeutic areas
Ownership and Startup Mentality
- Demonstrated track record of owning work end to end - not just advising on strategy but building, delivering, and iterating on the final product
- Entrepreneurial and energized by ambiguity - comfortable without a playbook, managing multiple engagements at speed
- Collaborative, low-ego, and genuinely obsessed with client outcomes
8-10+ years pharma experience in strategy consulting, insights, medical communications, or agency; deep scientific literacy; hands-on experience with claims data, intent data, primary market research, and competitive intelligence; entrepreneurial ownership mindset.
