• Location: Riyadh, KSA

About the job

As Population Health Strategy Lead – Greater Gulf within our General Medicines team, you'll pioneer the screening and monitoring strategy for a first-in-class therapy in Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes — shaping how people at risk are identified, supported, and connected to care across the GCC. Ready to get started?

Join the team transforming how healthcare is delivered for chronic and specialty conditions worldwide. In General Medicines, you'll help drive meaningful outcomes in diabetes, transplant, and immunology — with the scale and urgency patients deserve. In this role, you'll lead a high-visibility mission at the intersection of science, digital health, and patient access — building the infrastructure and partnerships that bring Autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes screening to life across the Greater Gulf region.

Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people's lives.

Main responsibilities

• Adapt and lead the global people-at-risk screening, monitoring, and infrastructure strategy at local level — coordinating all related activities and stakeholders across the GCC to improve identification of people at risk and patients.
• Identify and develop new screening and monitoring channels — including digital health solutions — and advocate for screening reimbursement and funding initiatives in collaboration with Medical, Public Affairs, and Market Access teams.
• Map the screening and monitoring ecosystem (diagnostic labs, centers of excellence, electronic medical record platforms, telemedicine, and registries) and define optimal referral pathways for seamless patient journeys.
• Build and manage cross-functional partnerships with diagnostic companies, data providers, and digital health platforms to improve testing accessibility, standardization, and patient profiling.
• Collaborate with Patient Experience and field teams to implement end-to-end journeys — from person-at-risk identification through to treatment readiness.
• Adapt global messaging to create compelling, locally relevant screening narratives tailored to healthcare providers, patients, and families across the GCC.
• Identify operational barriers along the patient pathway, manage risks in collaboration with Ethics, Legal, and Compliance teams, and share best practices with country and global teams.

About you

• Experience: 10 years in pharmaceutical and/or diagnostic commercial roles, with experience in marketing to healthcare providers, patient activation, and product launches in specialty, rare disease, or Type 1 Diabetes; GCC experience is a plus.
• Soft skills: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; highly collaborative with the ability to work across global and cross-functional teams; strong networking and negotiation capabilities; self-driven, results-oriented, and able to prioritize multiple projects with agility and creativity.
• Technical skills: Proven experience launching products requiring screening or monitoring programs; ability to build partnerships with screening infrastructures and develop data-driven solutions; deep understanding of care pathway operations; strong commercial, financial, and strategic thinking acumen; solution-oriented mindset with a focus on customer needs.
• Education: University degree in health sciences; advanced degrees are a plus.
• Languages: Fluent in English and Arabic, with strong communication and presentation skills in both.
