Senior Manager, US Primary Market Research

What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will be a strategic thought partner to brand and cross‑functional teams, responsible for generating rigorous, business‑relevant insights that inform brand strategy, execution, and decision‑making.

In an environment enabled by data integration via Amgen’s MRAgent platform, this role focuses less on managing research outputs and more on owning insight judgment, meaning, and impact—ensuring data is interpreted correctly, synthesized effectively, and translated into clear strategic guidance.

Flexible Commuter role to Thousand Oaks, CA office. You will work on-site 2-3 days a week.

Strategic Thought Partnership

• Serve as the primary PMR (Primary Market Research) thought partner to the Commercial team (primarily brand teams), guiding the framing of business questions and translating insights into implications for brand strategy and execution.
• Act as an internal consultant, helping stakeholders move from data to decisions by identifying the “so what” and “now what.”
• Support key annual activities (e.g., brand planning, executive reviews, budgeting, business cases) with objective, insight‑driven guidance.

Insight Generation & Interpretation

• Lead the interpretation and synthesis of primary market research findings, leveraging standardized dashboards, analytics tools, and AI‑enabled capabilities (e.g., MRAgent).
• Go beyond descriptive findings to surface insights, risks, opportunities
