  • Plan and prioritize activities to meet call metrics, optimizing coverage and frequency across top target customers.
  • Analyze regional and local market trends to establish short- and long-term sales goals and inform a robust business and launch strategy.
  • Manage territory budgets to effectively support sales and marketing activities.

Clinical & Product Expertise
  • Deliver compelling, compliant clinical brand presentations to physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), medical staff, and appropriate clinic personnel.
  • Maintain strong knowledge of assigned products, disease states, competitors, and evolving healthcare landscapes.
  • Understand the internal dynamics of healthcare delivery systems, including physician hierarchies, pharmacy workflows, and nursing roles.

Collaboration, Reporting & Compliance
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Regional Sales Directors, brand teams, and internal partners to enhance territory performance and a customer experience.
  • Provide insights and feedback on marketing strategies and sales effectiveness.
  • Complete administrative tasks accurately and on time while executing brand strategy within the assigned geography.
  • Participate in ongoing training and professional development.
  • Maintain full compliance with all corporate, legal, regulatory, and industry policies.

Requirements
