In alignment with the Regional Business Director (RBD), the KAM serves as the commercial account quarterback, translating each system’s structure, priorities, and decision-making processes into focused account plans that strengthen key stakeholder relationships, address access and implementation barriers, and drive appropriate utilization and growth of NUZYRA consistent with approved labeling.

• Extend strategic impact beyond selected priority accounts by supporting regional opportunities where KAM involvement can materially strengthen strategy, execution, or business growth. Share relevant insights, repeatable approaches, and lessons learned across the regional and national KAM organization.
• Deliver business results with integrity and in full compliance with Company policies and all applicable laws, regulations, and promotional requirements and guidelines. Maintain timely and accurate documentation of account activity, decisions, and progress.
