  • Ensuring alignment to Global forecasting standards and governance processes; partnering with global and regional forecasting leads to establish and maintain a shared framework for methodologies, core assumptions, scenario definitions, and forecast review.
  • Developing and maintaining patient-based forecasts and complex scenarios within indications and across the portfolio as multiple products and indications enter the same tumor type.
  • Assessing treatment sequencing, overlapping eligible populations, combinations, launch timing, and substitution or complementary use to quantify incremental portfolio opportunity and avoid double counting patients and demand.

  • Partnering with the Portfolio Strategy team to develop processes and systems.
  • Partnering across the forecasting team and with Finance, Supply Chain, and cross-functional teams to translate patient, treatment duration, and utilization assumptions into revenue and demand scenarios for long-range plans, budgets, supply and capacity planning, and launch readiness.
  • Partnering closely with other Insights and Analytics functions (Disease Area Insights, Data Analytics) to inform the forecast.
  • Working closely with Global Commercial Development, Clinical Development, Portfolio Strategy, Finance, and Medical Affairs to support early-stage decision making.
  • Working closely with the Regions to ensure consistency; developing and communicating understanding of differences in forecasts.
