The Role

OpenTrain is seeking a Pharma Launch Forecasting Expert to support human evaluation for AI systems working with commercial drugs and drug-development programs. You will apply pharmaceutical commercial judgment to create and critique evaluation rubrics, assess launch curves, and determine whether forecast assumptions are defensible.

The work focuses on pharmaceutical launch dynamics, including uptake, peak share, trajectory, analog selection, ramp assumptions, and loss of exclusivity.

• Remote, part-time pilot engagement
• Approximately 10–20 total hours over 1–2 weeks
• Default commitment of 15 hours per week
• Hourly compensation of $130–$210
• United States opportunity
