• Evaluate the effectiveness of CME initiatives through outcomes data and feedback, continuously refining programming to maximize educational impact.
• Work closely with the research team to drive podium presence strategy by identifying abstract submission opportunities, supporting the preparation of presentation materials, and coordinating with faculty, KOL’s, and clinical investigators to maximize ReActiv8’s visibility at target meetings.
• Work closely with the downstream marketing team to ensure clinical messaging is consistently and accurately integrated across all commercial channels - including sales tools, digital marketing, patient education materials, and social media.
• Partner with the field sales organization to understand clinical objections and evidence gaps encountered in the field, using those insights to inform messaging development and content priorities.
• Support the development of reimbursement and market access materials by providing clinical evidence summaries, health economics data narratives, and value-based messaging as needed.
