The Associate Director, Enterprise / System Execution is responsible for ensuring the forward-looking design, alignment, and execution of Customer Engagement initiatives across Therapeutic Areas (TA), with a focus on work that spans beyond individual TA ownership. This role operates at the system level, enabling a coordinated and scalable approach to execution across the enterprise. By proactively aligning priorities, workflows, and execution mechanics, the Associate Director ensures initiatives are delivered in a consistent, future-ready manner—minimizing fragmentation and improving overall effectiveness. This position owns cross-TA execution domains, including enterprise accounts, Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), and complex escalations that require a unified, enterprise-level approach.

Coordinate execution across enterprise and system accounts (e.g., IDNs), ensuring consistent prioritization and engagement approach. Serve as the primary owner for enterprise-level execution challenges and escalations that fall outside TA boundaries. Ensure execution plans are forward-looking, anticipating future needs rather than reacting to current issues. Shape cross-TA initiatives upstream, ensuring sequencing, readiness, and dependencies are clearly defined before execution. Identify emerging system-level risks and misalignments and proactively drive resolution. Align stakeholders across Therapeutic Areas and functions to ensure enterprise-level consistency. Resolve conflicts in priorities, timing, or execution expectations across TA boundaries. Own resolution of complex cross-TA execution issues requiring enterprise-level coordination. Drive structured issue management, ensuring clarity of ownership and follow-through. Essential Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required from 4-year college or university. 6+ years’ of experience in field operations, enterprise execution, or program delivery roles. Proven ability to operate across multiple stakeholder groups and organizational boundaries. Strong systems thinking with the ability to align priorities, dependencies, and outcomes across portfolios. Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills. Desirable Requirements: Experience working with enterprise accounts or Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs).
