- Partner with medical affairs to support scientific exchange and evidence generation strategies

- Champion the creation of a new standard of care paradigm in the pre-symptomatic T1D space

👥 Cross-Functional Leadership

- Lead and align a high-performing cross-functional brand team including Medical Affairs, Market Access, Sales, Patient Advocacy, Regulatory, and Legal/Compliance

- Serve as the commercial lead and single point of accountability for brand performance

- Foster a culture of collaboration, agility, and patient-centricity across all team interactions

- Build and maintain relationships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), academic medical centers, and professional associations

- Design patient and caregiver engagement programs that support screening, education, and treatment initiation

- Collaborate with patient advocacy organizations to amplify disease awareness and support community building

💰 Market Access & P&L Management

- Partner with market access teams to develop payer strategies, value dossiers, and reimbursement frameworks

- Own the brand P&L, manage budget allocation, and ensure optimal return on investment across all marketing activities

- Monitor brand performance metrics, sales trends, and market dynamics; adjust strategies proactively

🚀 Launch Excellence & Optimization

- Lead post-launch brand optimization activities, identifying gaps and opportunities in the commercial model

- Develop and refine HCP and patient journey maps to identify barriers and accelerators to adoption

- Implement robust tracking and measurement frameworks to assess campaign effectiveness and ROI

🔍 Competitive Intelligence & Insights
