Job Description

OBJECTIVES / PURPOSE

We are seeking a dynamic Manager to join Takeda's GCC Commercial Insights & Analytics (I&A) organization in India. This is the first people leadership role in the GCC analytics career track, combining hands-on analytical delivery with team management, stakeholder partnership, and operational accountability for an assigned portfolio of US brand analytics workstreams. The Manager serves as the day-to-day GCC analytics partner to US I&A brand leads and is accountable for the quality, timeliness, and business relevance of all deliverables produced by their pod.

• Lead an analytics pod of 2-5 Analysts, ensuring high-quality, on-time delivery of brand analytics for assigned US business units while personally contributing to complex analytical work that requires senior judgment.
• Serve as the primary GCC analytics partner for US I&A brand leads, managing the full analytics intake-to-delivery cycle — from requirement clarification and workplan development through execution, quality review, and stakeholder communication.
• Translate US brand business questions into structured analytical workplans, assigning work across the team, reviewing all outputs, and ensuring every delivery meets Takeda's standards for analytical rigor, clarity, and commercial relevance.
• Drive continuous improvement across team workflows — championing automation, standardized processes, and capability development — while building a high-engagement, learning-oriented team culture.

ACCOUNTABILITIES

Analytics Delivery and Quality Ownership

• Conduct and oversee end-to-end delivery of assigned analytical workstreams, including performance reporting, HCP targeting and segmentation analytics, patient opportunity assessments, launch readiness analytics, and ad hoc deep dives across assigned brands.
• Define the analytical approach for complex business questions: translate brand team asks into scoped, hypothesis-driven workplans; assign tasks to team members based on skill and capacity; and personally execute the highest-complexity analyses as required.
• Review all team deliverables — dashboards, performance reports, segmentation analyses, targeting outputs, and ad hoc studies — for analytical rigor, data accuracy, narrative quality, and stakeholder readiness before US review.
• Conduct and oversee secondary market data analyses in the areas of segmentation, customer targeting, promotional ROI, and ad hoc marketing assessments; evaluate and recommend appropriate models and techniques to the team.

Stakeholder Management and Ways of Working

• Serve as the primary GCC point of contact for US I&A brand leads on assigned franchises, managing analytical intake, clarifying requirements, setting and meeting delivery commitments, and proactively communicating status and risks; adapt presentations and deliverables in real time based on stakeholder needs and audience.
• Represent the GCC analytics pod in US I&A brand planning sessions, quarterly business reviews, and cross-functional analytics forums, ensuring GCC contributions are visible and commercially relevant.
• Establish and maintain efficient ways of working between the GCC pod and US I&A teams, including intake routines, prioritization frameworks, and communication norms.

People Leadership and Team Development

• Directly manage 2-4 Analysts and Senior Associates: set clear, measurable goals; conduct regular one-on-ones; provide substantive performance feedback; and build structured, individualized development plans.
• Build analytical and domain capabilities within the team through coaching the team on methodology, facilitating internal knowledge-sharing sessions, and identifying external training opportunities.
• Foster a high-engagement team environment defined by ownership, intellectual curiosity, cross-functional collaboration, and a continuous improvement mindset.
• Contribute to talent acquisition for the GCC analytics team, including participation in interviews and onboarding of new team members.

Process Improvement and Operational Excellence

• Lead automation and efficiency initiatives across recurring reporting workflows, implementing SQL- and Python-based pipelines and dashboard automation that reduce manual effort and improve reliability.
• Review and rationalize the existing reporting portfolio on a regular basis, identifying opportunities to consolidate, automate, or retire deliverables in alignment with evolving brand team priorities.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-priority analytical workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced, cross-cultural, matrixed environment.
