• Support account business reviews that assess contract performance, patient access, operational readiness, and appropriate commercial opportunities.

Buy-and-Bill Optimization & Site Enablement

• Work with clinics and internal partners to identify practical improvements in reimbursement readiness, inventory practices, ordering processes, and patient financial navigation.
• Engage sites of care through education, workflow support, and coordinated resources that strengthen readiness to initiate and maintain therapy.
• Help customers diagnose and identify operational gaps that can delay treatment, including referral handoffs, scheduling, infusion capacity, care coordination, and post-initiation follow-up.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Insights

• Coordinate field execution with sales, medical, patient services, market access, trade, analytics, and brand partners.
• Provide timely, actionable field insights into customer needs, competitive dynamics, reimbursement trends, and operational barriers with matrix colleagues.
• Monitor account performance and adapt priorities to deliver against agreed objectives in a compliant manner.
• Maintain accurate account plans, account affiliations, activity records, and opportunity documentation in required systems.
