Job description

Madrigal is a biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering novel therapeutics for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a serious liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, need for liver transplantation and premature mortality. Every member of our Madrigal team is connected by our shared purpose: leading the fight against MASH.

Madrigal’s medication, Rezdiffra (resmetirom), is a once-daily, oral, liver-directed THR-β agonist designed to target key underlying causes of MASH. Rezdiffra is the first and only medication approved by both the FDA and European Commission for the treatment of MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis (F2 to F3). An ongoing Phase 3 outcomes trial is evaluating Rezdiffra for the treatment of compensated MASH cirrhosis (F4c).

Our success is driven by our people. We are building a dynamic, inclusive, and high-performing culture that values scientific excellence, operational rigor, and collaboration. To support our continued growth, we are strengthening our workforce strategy to ensure we have the right talent, at the right time, in the right way.

As a Key Account Director (KAD) at Madrigal, you will play a vital role in ensuring access to Rezdiffra within assigned regional Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) and HCP Super Groups.

• Drive customer engagement by providing deep insights and expertise around the MAFLD/MASH disease continuum, offering valuable customer insights on trends, market conditions, protocol development, and changes in formulary/medical policies.
• Leverage and champion core key account resources and sales planning tools to optimize sales performance.
• Encourage and facilitate MML/HEOR/Marketing team interactions with customers, foster consultation and collaboration with stakeholders across matrixed organizations to develop patient-centric solutions, unique MML engagements and relationship building with peers.
• Collaborate with functional matrix team leaders to optimize business performance and/or effectively manage complex business risks and issues.
• Develop and execute Key Account matrix business plans in cooperation with cross functional leaders (Sales, Medical Affairs, Marketing, Market Access & Patient Support).
• Ensure all activities are conducted in strict compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations as well as company policies.
• The position will report to the Executive Director, Health Systems.

• 12+ years of progressive experience in the pharmaceutical, biotech, health system, pharmacy, managed care, or broader healthcare industry, with demonstrated experience in strategic account management, pharmacy operations, market access, or a related customer-facing function is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience developing relationships and influencing key healthcare stakeholders, which may include pharmacy leaders, medical directors, health-system executives, population health leaders, payers, and other decision-makers.
• Strong understanding of healthcare delivery, pharmacy operations, patient access, and/or health-system decision-making, with the ability to translate clinical, financial, and operational information into meaningful customer solutions.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and execute strategic initiatives and deliver against quantitative and qualitative objectives.
