    Build impactful scientific platforms and narratives that shape disease‑area and product positioning in breast cancer and broader HER2‑expressing malignancies.
    Co‑direct global medical communications strategy and publication planning, ensuring timely, high‑quality scientific deliverables.
    Provide strategic guidance for core materials (e.g., training decks, scientific platforms, study summaries) for global and regional dissemination.
    Partner with Commercial to co‑lead launch readiness and lifecycle management initiatives across multiple tumour indications.
    Represent Global Medical Affairs at cross‑functional team meetings and external scientific or medical engagements.

    Maintain deep subject‑matter expertise in breast cancer and pan‑tumour HER2 biology, anticipating disease‑area evolution through competitive intelligence and insights generation.

    Build and maintain external stakeholder engagement plans, including expert mapping, advisory boards, and collaborative opportunities with key opinion leaders.
    Champion patient advocacy initiatives in partnership with Global Advocacy teams, ensuring patient perspectives inform strategy.
    Contribute to the Investigator‑Sponsored Trial (IST) and collaborative research strategy across tumour types.
    Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities
    Strong background in solid tumours, preferably breast cancer and/or HER2‑targeted therapies.
    Minimum of 5 years' experience in Medical Affairs with demonstrated leadership in strategic planning and execution.
    Proven ability to shape medical strategies that drive clinical impact and business success.
    Experience leading Phase IV studies, ISTs, and Real‑World Evidence initiatives.
    Expertise across marketed and pipeline products with strong strategic and operational leadership capabilities.
    Ability to influence and operate effectively within complex matrix environments.
