  • Deliver training and ongoing scientific support to participating clinical centers involved in early access and research programs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with internal medical affairs, clinical operations, and commercial teams while maintaining strict compliance with non-promotional standards.

  • Contribute medical insights to internal stakeholders to inform strategy, research planning, and lifecycle management.

Required Qualifications and Experience

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
