What You’ll Do Launch Planning Translate TA launch priorities into one BI&O plan with clear owners, milestones, dependencies and resource needs. Use prior launch experience to surface requirements teams have not yet identified and resolve gaps with functional owners. Commercial Enablement Readiness Coordinate field readiness, including training and CRM, and Decision Sciences needs such as targeting, data availability and launch dashboards. Align Marketing Operations and Omnichannel timelines for agency onboarding, promotional review, content delivery and channel activation; connect Patient Services and Digital Operations dependencies as needed. Execution and Issue Resolution Run readiness reviews, follow through on commitments and resolve handoff gaps. Escalate risks and resource conflicts with clear recommendations. Keep BI&O milestones aligned with TA launch plans; confirm capabilities are ready for use and resolve early post-launch issues. Change Management and Adoption Lead change plans for launches and priority BI&O initiatives: identify affected teams, clarify new responsibilities, and coordinate communications, training and support. Track adoption and address barriers with team leads. Turn launch lessons into practical checklists and playbooks for the next launch. Who You Are Demonstrated ability to build and run tight operating rhythms and drive decisions through forums and follow-through. Excellent executive communication skills - exceptional writing, synthesis, and the ability to drive alignment through clarity. Strong project management and communication skills; able to anticipate issues, challenge assumptions and secure delivery across teams without direct authority.
