  • Resolve Issues: Proactively address procedural barriers and issues delaying therapy initiation, collaborating with broader teams to diagnose and resolve problems.
  • Coordinate Care: Work with internal and external teams to strategically coordinate care at the local level, ensuring a smooth patient onboarding and treatment activation experience.
  • Conduct Reviews: Perform patient case reviews with local HCPs, office staff, field teams, and specialty pharmacies to mitigate delays and enhance the ONWARD patient support program.
  • Deliver Training: Present and train stakeholders (neurology and ECHO offices) both in-person and via audio conferences, preparing materials, answering questions, and conducting follow-ups as needed.
  • Provide Feedback: Offer regular feedback to internal teams to improve ONWARD and REMS processes, elevating the RARE EPILEPSY patient journey.
  • Travel: Be prepared to travel up to 80%, including overnight stays as necessary.

Who You'll Work With:
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners, including Key Account Managers, specialty pharmacy partners, medical science liaisons, and others.
  • Play a key role in strategic account management, addressing and solving stakeholder and caregiver needs in real-time.
