Purpose

The Manager, GTM Patient Communications is responsible for overseeing and improving all outbound patient-facing communications across PANTHERx. This includes therapy-specific print materials, educational resources, welcome kits, SMS and email communications, and patient-facing talking points.

This role is both strategic and hands–on, responsible for planning patient communications, developing high-quality materials, and introducing new formats—including multimedia—to enhance the patient experience.

Responsibilities

Patient Communications Planning & Cross-Functional Alignment

• Partners with Operations, Clinical, Technology, Implementation and Marketing teams to maintain a clear, prioritized roadmap of patient communications needs across the patient journey (e.g., onboarding, therapy initiation, maintenance, refill).
• Establishes and manages a forward-looking calendar of patient communications and education materials, aligned to patient needs, program milestones, new therapy launches and operational priorities.
• Ensures alignment on priorities, timing, and ownership of materials across teams and manufacturer partners.
• Share patient insights and outcomes to BD and Account Management to drive consistent value proposition storytelling.

Patient Communications Development & Execution

• Develops and maintains core patient-facing materials, including therapy-specific launch–support print assets, welcome kits, educational resources, SMS, call scripts, email communications, and talking points.

• Ensures all materials are consistent, accurate, and reinforce key messages delivered through patient–facing teams.
• Owns content quality from draft through final delivery, partnering with creative and clinical stakeholders as needed.
• Supports Operations team in responding to patient emails.

Multimedia Content & Patient Engagement

• Develops and supports creation of multimedia patient education assets, including short–form videos and visual content, to enhance patient understanding and engagement.
• Identifies when a concept is best communicated through video, visual, or interactive formats—not just written materials—and drives development accordingly.
• Partners with creative teams or external vendors to produce high–quality multimedia content.

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Proactively identifies gaps in patient communications and recommends new materials to improve clarity, engagement, and adherence.
• Evaluates patient touchpoints and feedback to refine existing materials and improve effectiveness over time.
• Brings forward new ideas (e.g., videos, tools, or new formats) to strengthen patient understanding and experience.
• Identify themes from patient feedback, pain points, adherence barriers and engagement to improve patient communication strategy.
• Support KPIs for communication performance: patient comprehension, engagement, response rates, refill/adherence support, call avoidance, and patient satisfaction.

Required Qualifications

• BA/BS in Communications, Marketing, Public Health, Life Sciences, or related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum of five (5) years of experience in patient education, healthcare communications, medical writing, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex medical or clinical concepts into clear, simple, patient–friendly language.
• Strong writing and editing skills across formats, including print, digital, and conversational (scripted) communications.
• Experience developing content for patient populations with varying levels of health literacy.
• Ability to independently structure and develop materials with limited direction.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Ability to work cross–functionally with clinical, operational, and marketing stakeholders.
• Ability to travel to support industry events as required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in rare disease, specialty pharmacy, or pharmaceutical patient support programs.
• Familiarity with patient engagement channels, including SMS, mobile applications, and digital communications.
• Experience developing patient engagement content for operational workflows, including call scripting, SMS programs, digital engagement platforms, and patient portals.
• Experience developing or producing multimedia (e.g., video or visual education content).
• Understanding of patient adherence drivers in complex or chronic therapies.
• Comfort with AI tools and willingness to experiment.
