Job description

We are excited to introduce one of the first dedicated international medical operations roles at Regeneron. As Associate Director, Field Excellence, you will help standardize and operationalize Medical Affairs across international markets, supporting a consistent and aligned approach to how we work. This high-visibility position will play a central role in embedding our new Medical Affairs operating model into daily field activities-shifting from activity-based to impact-based metrics, aligning systems, and building consistent operational standards across countries. Working closely with global Medical Affairs and international team members, you'll help craft how field medical operates for years to come.

A Typical Day:

• Partnering with country teams to understand current practices and align them to a unified global operating model.
• Acting as the business lead for international on field medical tools and systems, including CRM, metrics, and reporting platforms.
• Driving a shift from activity-based to impact-based measurement of medical outcomes.
• Collaborating with cross-functional partners to ensure operational alignment.
• Coordinating the execution of Medical Impact Plans across international regions.
• Supporting consistent role definitions and clear executional responsibilities across markets.
• Facilitating adoption of standardized processes for medical insights capture and utilization.

This Role May Be For You:

• You are motivated by building operational frameworks from the ground up in a global setting.
• You can lead without authority and bring team members along during periods of change.
• You excel at standardizing processes while respecting local market needs.
• You are comfortable navigating complex, cross-country operational challenges.
• You thrive in collaboration with diverse functions such as compliance, commercial training, and medical operations.
• You adapt quickly, work well with ambiguity, and maintain a solutions-focused attitude.

To Be Considered:

You hold an advanced degree in life sciences or a related field (MSc, PhD, PharmD, or MD preferred) and bring 10+ years of experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, with proven success in medical affairs operations, field medical alignment, or adjacent functions. Your background includes project or operations leadership, system implementation, and cross-country alignment-ideally with exposure to field medical environments (e.g., MSL, field operations lead, or affiliate leadership). International experience is essential; oncology experience is an advantage but not required. This is a remote role based in Europe or the UK, attached to any Regeneron office (excluding Switzerland), with occasional travel and regular cross-time-zone collaboration.
