   1. Identifying influential stakeholders in the disease space and product development lifecycle for education, engagement, and partnership strategies.
   2. Seeking partnership opportunities with academic centers and systems of care to drive impact.
   3. Involving HCPs or MEs when specific medical needs are identified, such as publications or clinical trial participation.
   4. Collaborating internally with other Novartis stakeholders to advance therapeutic, clinical, or product goals.
4. Providing clinical trial support for company-sponsored trials, facilitating relevant medical activities, and working cross-functionally with Medical Affairs and Clinical Operations.
5. Collaborating with internal teams (e.g., HEOR, access, marketing, sales) to advance clinical practice while maintaining customer centricity and compliance standards.
6. Maintaining in-depth knowledge of the therapeutic area and Novartis compounds to serve as a medical resource internally and externally.
7. Staying informed about internal policies and external regulations affecting day-to-day responsibilities.
8. Executing administrative tasks and training (e.g., CRM updates, compliance modules) promptly, including profiling core customers.
9. Championing emerging responsibilities as priorities evolve and proactively pursuing personal and professional development.
