Support development and execution of company-sponsored scientific symposia, working with Medical Directors, external faculty, and KOLs to develop presentations and scientific content and to coordinate faculty review, MLR submission, revisions, and finalization of materials. Support Medical Directors and Clinical Development in exploring and conducting novel analyses of existing clinical trial, natural history, and real-world data (e.g., post hoc, subgroup, and descriptive analyses), including helping frame analysis questions, coordinating with Biostatistics and Data Management, and summarizing results for internal review and scientific communications. Assist in identifying and evaluating data generation opportunities (e.g., investigator-initiated studies, registries, chart reviews, and real-world evidence collaborations) by supporting data gap assessments, preparing concept summaries, and coordinating cross-functional input, with prioritization and approval decisions remaining with Medical Affairs leadership. Manage day-to-day relationships with Medical Affairs agencies and external vendors supporting assigned programs. Partner with Medical Operations to ensure contracts, statements of work, purchase orders, and required approvals are in place, then independently manage vendor timelines, deliverables, meetings, revisions, and execution. Track project milestones, risks, dependencies, and budgets in partnership with Medical Operations and functional leads, and proactively identify and resolve executional issues.
