Operational Researcher
Operational research (OR) is a systematic and scientific method for solving problems. The challenges faced in OR are often intricate and shrouded in uncertainty. As an Operational Researcher, you'll leverage cutting-edge analytics, modeling, problem structuring, simulation, optimization, and data science to uncover the best possible solutions.
Our OR group adopts a dual focus, engaging both internally and externally. Collaborating with HEOR delivery teams, the OR group will explore how OR methodologies can enhance the quality, robustness, and timeliness of client deliverables. Additionally, we aim to develop innovative solutions to client challenges, creating resources that can be easily leveraged across projects. This approach ensures that our technical teams can efficiently deliver high-quality results for all client initiatives.
Equipped with a deep understanding of cutting-edge design and analysis methods—both qualitative and quantitative—all members of the OR group will skilfully communicate complex concepts to their colleagues within the organisation.
Key responsibilities:
- Translate project objectives into mathematical and/or analytic models, and effectively communicate proposed solutions internally and externally, and support in the proposal, implementation, delivery, documentation, and communication of complex solutions.
- Collaborate with other HEOR teams to identify potential efficiency savings, and subsequently design and implement solutions to optimise workflow efficiency across the company.
- Work with senior HEOR staff and subject matter experts to generalise client deliverables into stand-alone assets that can be re-used and further developed.
- Collaborate with senior HEOR staff to develop analyses and provide technical leadership to support on-going HEOR thought leadership and marketing.
- Liaise and collaborate with the HEOR Technology Working Group to provide technical expertise and ensure that technological advancements are aligned with company workflows and client needs.
- Champion the creation of HEOR IP and ensure it is embedded across the organisation.
- Develop best practice documentation and support senior HEOR staff to encourage uptake across the business.
