  • Oversee the development, management, and implementation of Botox Complete Office Practice Manager peer-to-peer programs, including the recruitment of speakers, approval of the Annual Operating Plan, and speaker program deck management.
  • Develop indication-specific messaging and educational strategies across all Botox Therapeutics indications that enhance provider engagement and patient understanding.
  • Guide digital and content initiatives that strengthen the provider and patient experience across channels.

Insights & Continuous Improvement
  • Synthesize insights from field rides, FRM feedback, operational data, and program performance dashboards to inform and continuously improve execution.

People Leadership
  • Lead, develop, and manage two direct reports - Marketing Manager, Patient and Marketing Manager, Provider - providing coaching, performance management, and career development support.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner closely with the Botox Therapeutics brand team, Field Reimbursement Managers, and cross-functional stakeholders including market access, legal, finance, medical, and communications to advance access priorities and align messaging.
