About the role

This role helps build the overall strategy for the Medical Channel across our OTC brands at Reckitt Canada.

The core mandate is to drive recommendations and prescriptions (where applicable) from Healthcare Professionals (HCPs)—specifically Pharmacists, Nurse Practitioners, and Family Physicians—by translating clinical science into compelling, compliant commercial narratives. This is a P&L-accountable role that requires a mastery of the Canadian regulatory landscape and a deep empathy for the evolving role of the pharmacist.

  KOL & Association Management:
  Build strong partnerships with key opinion leaders and major associations (e.g., CPhA, OMA). Lead strategic presence and engagement at priority conferences.

  Field Force Enablement:

• Regulatory Stewardship & Operations

  PAAB & ASC Compliance:
  Serve as the internal expert on promotional compliance. Oversee PAAB submissions, negotiate reviewer feedback, and ensure all materials adhere to regulatory codes while maximizing claim strength.

  Budget & P&L Ownership:
  Manage the medical marketing budget, monitor ROI, and optimize investment across digital, conference, and field channels. Partner with Finance to maintain alignment with forecasted spend.
