• Connect customer insights, content, field activity, digital engagement and data into integrated customer journeys that begin with the customer need and business objective.
• Partner with global and local Brand, Field, Customer Excellence, analytics, technical and other teams to align priorities and deliver coordinated customer experience without relying on direct authority.
• Identify resource gaps, delivery risks and competing priorities early, challenge siloed activity constructively, and help teams focus on the highest-value business problems.

• Pilot solutions with priority brands, learn and adjust quickly, and deliberately expand successful approaches across appropriate brands and teams.
• Ensure required operational compliance, including reporting technical complaints, adverse events and special case scenarios related to Novartis products within 24 hours of receipt, and distributing marketing samples where applicable.

• Demonstrated ability to design and optimize integrated customer journeys across field and digital touchpoints, including segmentation, personalization, channel sequencing and next-best-action concepts.
• Strong strategic problem-solving skills, with the ability to simplify ambiguous business challenges and translate customer insights and business objectives into practical action.
• Proven cross-functional influence and stakeholder leadership across Brand, Field, Customer Excellence, analytics and related partners, including the confidence to challenge constructively without direct authority.
• Strong data literacy, including interpreting customer and engagement data, defining meaningful KPIs, developing test-and-learn approaches and using evidence to optimize outcomes; advanced analytics or coding is not required.
• Working knowledge of CRM and marketing automation platforms, customer data, consent and preference management, and the role of technology in coordinated customer engagement.
• Understanding of content and channel strategy, including audience, timing, modular or personalized content, and the practical requirements for scaling content across brands.
• Knowledge of pharmaceutical commercial environments, HCP engagement, brand planning, field-force models and regulatory or compliance considerations; practical awareness of AI, predictive analytics and automation is an advantage.
