• Lead complex Medical Information: Serve as the senior escalation point for complex or high-impact inquiries, providing or overseeing timely, accurate, balanced, and scientifically appropriate responses to healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, specialty pharmacies, payers, and other stakeholders.
• Build and govern scientific content: Lead development and maintenance of a rigorous, scalable Medical Information content library. Establish standards for scientific quality, consistency, currency, and audience-appropriate communication, incorporating relevant literature and emerging data.
• Lead AI-enabled Medical Information: Shape the effective use of AI across Medical Information, providing human oversight of AI-generated responses and establishing appropriate quality, governance, and validation standards. Identify opportunities to improve response quality, knowledge bases, content coverage, and workflows through technology.
• Turn inquiries into insight: Establish a structured approach to analyzing inquiry trends, recurring questions, and emerging information needs. Translate those insights into content improvements, educational opportunities, stakeholder insights, and enhancements to the Medical Information experience.
• Drive cross-functional governance and launch readiness: Partner with Medical, Legal, Regulatory, and other stakeholders to establish appropriate review and governance processes, documentation, and standards. Ensure the Medical Information capability is prepared to support launch and operates effectively as products and stakeholder needs evolve.
• Build the team and capability: Establish scalable ways of working and help develop the people, partnerships, and capabilities needed to deliver Medical Information with speed, quality, and consistency. Promote a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
