US Diagnostics Lead

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn’t mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Are you ready to lead the charge in transforming patient outcomes? As the US Diagnostics Lead, you will spearhead the execution of US Commercial Diagnostic initiatives, ensuring rapid diagnosis and effective long-term treatment across our portfolio.

• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) to internal and external stakeholders, including responding to unsolicited requests for approved information about Alexion diagnostic topics.
• Align with key stakeholders to identify relevant patients with rare diseases through thoughtful interaction focused on which test to order, which patients to test, and what the results mean in the context of the diagnostic pathway.
• Collaborate with multiple cross-functional areas including sales, marketing, medical, legal, HEOR, market access, strategic accounts, and business ops to drive success.
• Identify and work closely with internal teams to develop Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) in diagnostics, creating broad community advocacy through collaboration with KOLs and their network.
