Summary: The Senior Business Analyst role focuses on bridging AI, product, and commercial teams within the healthcare and life sciences sectors.

Key Responsibilities:

- Work with AI/ML teams to define features, training logic, validation criteria, and explainability requirements.
- Build and own ROI models, business cases, and value narratives used in sales, pilots, and board-level discussions.
- Act as the “truth teller” — challenge assumptions, surface edge cases, and prevent AI theatre.
- Support pilots and scale-outs by defining success metrics, acceptance criteria, and replication playbooks.
- Be accountable for analytical quality — if insights are wrong, confusing, or non-actionable, it’s on you.
Key Skills:
- 4–6+ years as a Business Analyst / Strategy Analyst in Healthcare, Life Sciences, MedTech, or Health AI.
- Deep experience with tenders, pricing, enterprise B2B applications.
- Exceptional structured thinking (MECE, first-principles, hypothesis-led analysis).

- Exposure to global markets and tender-heavy environments.
