Feedback Loop: Regularly engage with regional sales reps and medical science liaisons to gather field insights and refine messaging.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside R&D, Medical Affairs, and Genetic Counseling teams to ensure all messaging is scientifically validated.
Regulatory & Legal Review: Direct promotional assets through internal legal, compliance, and regulatory review processes (CLIA/CAP/FDA compliance standards).
Events & Congresses: Oversee conference booth strategy, promotional collateral, and sponsored symposia at major oncology and genetics meetings (e.g., ACMG, NSGC, ASCO).
KOL & Speaker Support: Support key opinion leader (KOL) engagement initiatives and educational webinars.
