- Build and continuously refine the regional business plan in partnership with cross-functional teams, adjusting priorities as sites move through licensing, readiness, and activation
- Act as an integral part of the national commercial leadership team, representing regional insights and escalating systemic issues (site operations, referral disruptions, supply) that affect launch execution

Cross-Functional Orchestration
- Partner with Medical Affairs and Market Access peers as a credible commercial counterpart to triage site level bottlenecks escalated by RTMs
- Coordinate with Medical Affairs on referral pathway education and with Sales Operations on shipment timing when either affects a scheduled patient dose
AI and Advanced Analytics Adoption
- Leverage advanced analytics and AI tools to inform coaching, surfacing individual RTM performance patterns and tailoring development plans to each rep's strengths and gaps
- Apply AI-enabled tools to territory and account planning, using data driven insights to prioritize site engagement and referral pathway development
- Champion adoption of new analytics and AI capabilities across the team as they roll out, ensuring RTMs are using available tools consistently rather than defaulting to manual approaches

- 3+ years as an RBD, Regional Director, or equivalent regional leadership role
- Proven experience managing a team of 6+ direct reports in a field based commercial role

- Willingness and ability to maintain a high field presence (60 to 70 percent)
