  • Analyze and identify trends in a complex buying environment, including multiple channels of drug distribution (Oncology group purchasing organizations, wholesalers, and specialty pharmacies).
  • Review and evaluate patterns for products purchased and prescribed (outpatient vs in-patient infusion, as part of hospital or GPO contract, etc.)
  • Comprehend complex accounts and local market interdependencies to proactively develop and execute short- and long-term plans in collaboration with the local team and district manager (known as the Oncology Customer Team Leader).
  • Ask insightful questions to understand customer priorities and needs to support engaging and relevant conversations about the product portfolio.
  • Ensure a consistent customer experience across our Company’s division and functional areas and share key learnings to support customer needs by effectively communicating and collaborating with the in-scope customer team: Customer Team Leader, Key Account Manager, Nurse Educator, Field Reimbursement Associate, Medicare Account Executive, and more.
