Reporting to the Associate Director, Medical Education Portfolio Lead (dotted line to Chief Customer Officer), the Medical Affairs Omnichannel Manager, Portfolio owns the medical and scientific content strategy and is Medical Affairs’ subject matter expert (SME) for Medical-led engagements with healthcare professionals (HCPs), partnering with the HCP Experience team, which leads the integrated end-to-end HCP journey, to oversee and orchestrate those engagements alongside digital, promotional and other touchpoints. The role also identifies and manages appropriate overlap, complementarity, reuse and synergy between medical/scientific and brand/promotional content, while preserving Medical’s independence and ensuring all content meets applicable compliance requirements and the required medical review and approval process.

Responsibilities

Omnichannel Content Strategy

• Own the content strategy for Medical Affairs omnichannel engagement with HCPs across the affiliate, aligned to each therapeutic area's integrated medical plan and to affiliate business priorities
• Partner closely with the Medical Affairs therapeutic area (TA) leads and Medical Advisors to determine which medical and scientific content to disseminate, and to integrate that content so the HCP experience is seamless, regardless of its functional origin
• Identify content gaps, overlaps, and reuse opportunities across therapeutic areas and functions, and recommend what to develop, adapt from global or regional assets, or retire
• Define principles for modular, tagged, and reusable content so it can be deployed consistently across channels and therapeutic areas

Medical SME in HCP Journey Orchestration

• Act as the SME for the strategy and design principles for Medical Affairs-led non-digital experiences, including Field Medical engagement, and provide the HCP Experience team insights regarding the medical objectives, audiences, content needs and compliance constraints that inform the broader HCP journeys
• Partner with HCP Experience to provide oversight and orchestration of these Medical-led experiences across digital, promotional and other cross-functional touchpoints; HCP Experience remains accountable for the integrated journey architecture, sequencing, channel roles and end-to-end optimization
• Map Medical-owned HCP touchpoints/engagements across therapeutic areas. Work with the HCP Experience team to align these with other functions’ engagements by identifying and addressing fragmentation and duplication.
• Work with Digital, HCP Experience Managers, and channel subject matter experts on sequencing, next-best-action, and coordinated engagement plans so HCPs receive the right content, through the right channel, at the right time
• Align Medical Affairs journeys with the broader affiliate customer engagement plans, within the boundaries of Lilly policy and applicable industry codes, so that HCPs experience a cohesive, non-duplicative approach
• Work with Field Medical leadership to ensure journeys and content strategy are reflected in field plans, and that field insights feed back into content priorities

Cross-Functional Orchestration

• Align Medical Information, Medical Education, Medical Science, Communications, TA leads, and Medical Advisors on content priorities, ownership, and timing for omnichannel use
• With the cross-functional HCP Experience orchestration team, design and continuously improve internal processes and collaboration routines (such as planning cadences, intake, and content alignment forums) so they are simple, transparent, and seamless for internal teams
• Collaborate with channel owners, who remain accountable for building and operating channels, so that content strategy is translated into channel plans and delivered as intended
• Coordinate with global and regional teams, including the Global Content Hub, so the affiliate leverages global assets where appropriate and reflects local HCP needs
• Influence without authority across the affiliate, building alignment and buy-in with clear roles and expectations for each function

Performance, Insights & Continuous Improvement

• Define measures for medical content and Medical-led engagements with Medical leadership, including the quality and impact of Field Medical/MSL engagement. Partner with HCP Experience, Brand and Analytics on shared measures that assess how cross-functional touchpoints work together.
• Draw on channel performance, CRM data, and HCP feedback from Digital and Insights partners to evaluate which content and journeys are working, and flag gaps, risks, and opportunities
• Translate insights into adjustments to medical content priorities, journeys, and channel plans, and report outcomes and recommendations to cross-functional partners
• Evaluate emerging approaches, including AI-enabled personalization and next-best-action, and recommend where they would strengthen the content strategy

Governance & Compliance

• Ensure the content strategy and HCP journeys adhere to Lilly policies and SOPs, Ethics and Compliance standards, applicable regulations, and industry codes
• Partner with medical review and approval stakeholders so the content strategy anticipates review requirements and timelines

Collaboration & Capability Building

• Contribute to the national and regional Medical Affairs omnichannel community of practice and share learnings across therapeutic areas and functions within the affiliate
• Build awareness and capability across Medical Affairs in omnichannel content strategy and HCP journey thinking
• Support change management and adoption of new processes, tools, and ways of working across Medical Affairs
• Stay current on trends in medical education, digital engagement, and the HCP experience by engaging with the external community, and bring relevant innovations to the affiliate

Requirements

• 3 years of experience in pharma, biotech, or healthcare, including Medical Affairs, medical excellence, content strategy, or HCP engagement
• Working knowledge of the Medical Affairs function and compliant, non-promotional scientific exchange, including the regulations, industry codes, and internal policies that govern medical content and HCP interactions
• Demonstrated experience in content strategy, planning, or orchestration for HCP audiences, including selecting, sequencing, and adapting medical and scientific content across channels and HCP journeys
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize competing demands and make clear trade-offs against affiliate business priorities and the HCP experience
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate across functions and influence without authority, with strong project management skills
• Working knowledge of omnichannel and digital engagement concepts, including CRM (e.g., Veeva, Salesforce) and analytics
• Ability to deliver against defined performance targets
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively at any level of the organization

Preferred

• Advanced degree (PharmD, PhD, MD, MBA, or MS)
• Experience in Medical Information, Medical Education, or Medical Science, or in working closely with those functions
• Experience supporting multiple therapeutic areas or a diverse portfolio
