·  Co-create effective affiliate trigger mechanisms upon diagnosis event or HCP interest together with PHC and oncology teams and ensure fast response pathways

·  Work with relevant external parties, including therapeutic area experts (TAEs), health care professionals (HCPs) and patient advocacy groups (PAGs)

·  Facilitate the accurate identification of cancer patients who may benefit from Entrectinib

·  Drive up-take of high quality next generation sequencing (NGS) / comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) through working with multiple vendors including Foundation Medicine and Roche Diagnostics

·  Quantify opportunities in given countries (including demand and forecast planning for Entrectinib) and prioritize initiatives and activities in collaboration with PHC, oncology teams and Roche Diagnostics

·  Closely liaise with policy and access teams to navigate successfully the local reimbursement process and to shape a more favourable environment for precision medicines, in particular Entrectinib.

To be successful in this role, you have:

·  A post-graduate scientific degree in medicine, genomics, biology, etc.

·  Work experience in commercial and medical roles (min. 2 years in each)

·  Deep understanding of local health-care system coupled with the ability to understand and address opportunities/gaps for bringing personalized medicine to clinical practice
