Overview
IQVIA provides scientific solutions spanning clinical trials, real world evidence, and consulting in all areas of the drug product lifecycle. The Instrument Licensing Solutions and Patient & Site Strategy (ILSPSS) team leads the industry in generating data to ensure that the patient voice is incorporated into the development and commercialization of medication and other drug/non-drug interventions. We focus on understanding and meeting the needs of our clients through the application of broad consulting expertise and technical scientific knowledge to conduct scientifically rigorous research. This research is broad and includes qualitative (e.g., interviews, focus groups), quantitative (e.g., clinical outcome assessments (COAs)/patient-reported outcomes (PROs), preference research) and passive (e.g., digital health technology tools) approaches to understand patient, caregiver, and healthcare professional experiences and expectations of disease and treatment. The team also manages and licenses out a COA portfolio of over 100 instruments and offers linked services to translate and implement these COAs on any electronic survey platform.
To meet our client expectations and retain the excellent reputation built up over time the IQVIA ILSPSS team is committed to recruiting and supporting driven individuals who have life science, consulting, and/or product development skills that can be applied to ILSPSS offerings.

We operate in a truly multi-cultural, collegial and collaborative work environment that is rich in development and growth.
