Role Description

Bring rare dermatology care closer to the patients who need it most.

Join us in creating a future legacy in medical dermatology.

At LEO Pharma, we are global leaders in medical dermatology with 115 years’ experience in bringing innovation to healthcare, and each year, close to 100 million people have a better day because of our medicines.

In this role, you will help shape how rare dermatological diseases are understood, identified, and supported across complex healthcare ecosystems.

Your role

As Rare Disease Key Account Manager, you will build trusted, strategic relationships across rare-disease stakeholder networks and drive account plans that support awareness, patient identification, diagnosis, referral, and access. You will combine scientific curiosity, strong business planning, and compliant stakeholder engagement to deliver agreed account, activity, and business objectives.

Your primary responsibilities will be to:

• Develop and implement strategic account plans for priority hospitals, specialist centers, dermatology clinics, and referral networks.
• Map and engage key stakeholders, including dermatologists, pediatric dermatologists, geneticists, specialist nurses, pharmacists, diagnostic laboratories, patient organizations, payers, and healthcare authorities.
• Build rare-disease capability by strengthening knowledge of disease progression, patient journeys, standards of care, referral systems, reimbursement, and unmet needs.
• Identify gaps in patient pathways and share actionable insights internally to support approved disease-awareness and education initiatives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Medical Affairs, Market Access, Regulatory, Compliance, Pharmacovigilance, Marketing, Patient Services, Supply Chain, Customer Service, and regional/global rare-disease teams.

You will also maintain accurate CRM records, monitor account performance, contribute to launch preparation, and ensure every interaction is aligned with approved content, company procedures, local regulations, and codes of practice.

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, pharmacy, medicine, nursing, healthcare management, or a related field.
• Experience in dermatology or rare diseases.
• Proven experience managing key accounts and building long-term relationships with healthcare professionals and institutional stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of pharmaceutical or healthcare compliance requirements, with the ability to work within approved processes and local regulations.
• Confidence in using CRM systems and standard Microsoft Office applications.

As a person, you are strategic, resilient, collaborative, and comfortable navigating complexity. You communicate with clarity, negotiate with tact, and build trust across diverse stakeholder groups.

Your new team

You will join a purpose-driven rare-disease and dermatology-focused environment where collaboration, accountability, and curiosity are central to how we work. In the team, we share a “challenge accepted” mindset and are guided by LEO Pharma’s winning behaviours of simplification, collaboration, and accountability.

Together with colleagues across medical, access, commercial, regulatory, and patient-focused functions, you will help build capabilities that support better care pathways in rare dermatology.
