3. Demonstrate strategic territory vision, including identification and mapping of key stakeholders, opportunities for partnerships with academic centers, involvement of HCPs in medical needs, and collaboration with internal stakeholders to achieve therapeutic, clinical, or product goals.
4. Support clinical trials by facilitating relevant medical activities and collaborating with Medical Affairs and Clinical Operations.
5. Collaborate with internal teams (HEOR, access, marketing, sales) to advance clinical practice while maintaining customer focus and compliance.
6. Maintain in-depth knowledge of the therapeutic area and Novartis products to serve as a resource for customers and colleagues.
7. Stay informed about internal policies and external regulations affecting daily responsibilities.
8. Complete administrative tasks and training promptly, including CRM updates and profiling customers.
9. Adapt to emerging responsibilities and evolving territory needs.
10. Proactively pursue personal and professional development.

Qualifications:

• Graduate degree in science or healthcare required; doctoral degree preferred (MD, PhD, DNP, PharmD, etc.).
• Experience levels vary by role: Managers require 0-3 years (or 3-5 years preferred) in a medical or scientific role; ADs require 3+ years (or 5-7 years preferred) in a similar role.
