Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Supervision

• Track throughput and quality, identify and resolve bottlenecks, and make resource allocation/staffing recommendations to the Director
• Drive the general research interview process that provides valuable insights for the syndicated profiles and other Darwin product offerings

Content Quality & Subject Mastery

• Develop deep knowledge of our profile and research report content, research methodologies, and quality standards
• Review work for completeness, consistency, and proper response to editorial feedback
• Ensure interview insights are accurately incorporated into each report; maintain high standards for interview analysis, annotation, and incorporation into research reports
• Maintain awareness of relevant healthcare industry trends to build credibility as a leader who can provide meaningful content, analytical feedback, and report offering recommendations
• Collaborate with editorial staff and peer reviewers on language, style, and layout decisions

Strategic Support & Product Input

• Over time, grow to support the Director’s strategy, client, and commercialization efforts
• Bring a “product manager” mindset to Darwin report offerings: what do our clients need, what’s working, what’s not, what needs to change?
• Identify holes, gaps, or opportunities to improve product offerings
• Support custom research projects and client engagements when appropriate (especially after year one)

What Success Looks Like

• Product production is smooth and consistent, with met deadlines and top-quality output
• Assigned researchers understand expectations, grow in capability over time, and see a career development path

• Bachelor’s degree in business, communications, social sciences, or related field

Who Thrives in This Role

You're energized by making things run smoothly. You like building systems, solving workflow puzzles, and creating order out of chaos. You're equally comfortable having a coaching conversation with a struggling team member or building a capacity planning spreadsheet. You can credibly assess the quality of work even in areas where you're not the official expert. You prefer to solve problems yourself rather than escalate everything up the chain- but you know when to involve your boss. You enjoy coaching and managing a team and working in an evolving environment.
