3. Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement

Build and maintain relationships with local regulatory bodies, policymakers, and academic institutions to advocate for the use of RWE in healthcare decision-making.
Establish partnerships with local healthcare systems, leading joint evidence generation activities and supporting population health models.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Medical Affairs, Market Access, Commercial, Clinical Development) to integrate RWE strategies into market access and commercialization plans.

4. Internal Team Development and Knowledge Sharing
