This is an exciting opportunity to join IQVIA as a Rare Disease/Oncology Inside Sales Representative (ISR) to drive sales for a global company that operates in the biosimilar market. Our client has commercialization partnerships with companies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America and is headquartered in the United States. Our client’s current oncology product is a specific immunotherapy drug used to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Their pipeline includes medications that will treat a variety of carcinomas.

The Rare Disease/Oncology Inside Sales Representative is a remote role. The ISR will be expected to make outbound calls and educate via Zoom meetings to sell an oncology therapeutic to the HCP community. This representative will have responsibilities in a variety of sales, customer service, and administrative functions. The ISR plays a critical role in educating prescribers, raising brand awareness, and supporting product adoption in a complex oncology landscape. This fast‑paced role requires excellent communication skills, clinical acumen, digital fluency, and the ability to drive results through remote interactions across multiple time zones.

In this role you will engage targeted HCPs through daily virtual outreach using phone, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other approved digital platforms. Deliver clinical, product, and access‑related messaging aligned with the product’s approved indications and our client’s strategic priorities.

Furthermore, you will execute territory business plans in collaboration with our client’s regional business development teams to drive demand and achieve sales targets in alignment with the client’s objectives. You will use CRM and digital analytics tools to manage call plans, document interactions, and optimize engagement strategies.

You will maintain deep knowledge of the product, its clinical profile, disease state, competitive landscape, and oncology treatment guidelines. You will participate in ongoing training programs to ensure scientific accuracy and compliance. You will partner with the client’s field sales leadership, marketing, and market access teams to ensure aligned messaging and effective pull‑through strategies. You will share market intelligence and customer feedback with internal stakeholders to inform broader brand and sales planning. Lastly, hand off secondary or follow‑up HCP appointment opportunities to appropriate client oncology account managers.
