• Exposure to rare diseases or specialty/complex therapeutic areas (preferred)
• Experience supporting at least one product launch or lifecycle stage
• Strong KOL engagement and stakeholder management skills

• Understanding of medical strategy development and cross-functional collaboration

What success looks like:

• Comfortable working in ambiguity and evolving structures
• Strong collaborator with a team-first mindset (“us over me”)
• Practical, grounded approach - able to make decisions without over-perfectionism
• Confident engaging across global and regional stakeholders
