• Proactive Customer Engagement & Insights (core & common):
• Proactive Targeted Medical Engagement: As a medical function our ambition is to spend the majority of our time proactively engaging with external customers as partners in the integrated customer engagement strategy. The Medical Partner serves as the scientific and medical expert, proactively engaging TAEs, and other key stakeholders in full strategic and operational alignment with other in-field roles (ie. PJP, GMCL, HSP). In the pre-launch phase it is the priority to drive proactive E2E strategies that deliver superior experience, anticipate the future and shape medical practice accordingly. In the post-launch phase the engagement continues to ensure that the right patients are treated at the right time and the engagement scope expands on unserved patient populations. In-field engagement serves as a critical component of this overarching strategy for targeted scientific engagement. It is understood that based on business needs the Medical Partner can serve as the primary point of contact for certain customers with the ambition to drive required healthcare system changes and where feasible earlier and broader adoption of our transformative portfolio
