Position overview

Travere is seeking a Senior Director, Commercial Analytics and Decision Science to build and lead a centralized commercial analytics capability that turns complex data into clear business decisions. This leader will shape how we measure performance, identify growth opportunities, evaluate commercial investments, and prepare for future launches across our growing rare disease portfolio.

The Senior Director will report to the Vice President, Commercial Insights and Operations and partner closely with Forecasting, Market Insights, Field Operations and Excellence, Commercial Systems and Data, Sales, Marketing, Patient Access, and Finance.

• Lead analyses that explain performance drivers, quantify opportunities and risks, and translate findings into clear recommendations for commercial and executive leaders.
• Guide analytical support for business reviews, launch planning, annual planning, customer strategy, and post-launch performance evaluation.
• Build a practical advanced analytics roadmap spanning customer segmentation, patient journey analytics, promotional response, predictive modeling, next best action, and resource optimization.

Additional Skills/Experience/Requirements: 

• Demonstrated experience across several commercial analytics areas, such as brand performance, patient journeys, customer segmentation, promotional response, access, launch analytics, or field effectiveness.
• Strong knowledge of pharmaceutical commercial data, including claims, specialty pharmacy, hub or patient services, CRM and field activity, payer and access, laboratory, digital, and promotional data.
• Experience applying advanced analytical methods and translating technical work into practical business recommendations.
• Experience supporting product launches and scaling analytics capabilities in a growing organization; rare disease, specialty, or nephrology experience is preferred.
• Proven ability to prioritize competing needs, lead teams and partners, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and maintain analytical quality in a fast-moving environment.
