Specialty Care Patient Engagement Go-To-Market Excellence Director

Specialty Care Patient Engagement helps patients and caregivers understand their disease, have informed conversations with their healthcare providers about treatment options, and stay appropriately on therapy. This means engaging patients as appropriate throughout their treatment journey — from diagnosis and treatment initiation through ongoing management — with support tailored to what they need at each stage. Patient Engagement supports patients across Sickle Cell Disease, Alopecia Areata, ATTR-CM, Immunoglobulin (Ig) therapies, and Hemophilia, conditions that carry distinct clinical, emotional, and access challenges. This role sits at the intersection of patient needs and commercial strategy, with the opportunity to raise the bar for how patients are supported across specialty care

Why This Role Matters

Go-To-Market (GTM) Excellence is the connective tissue ensuring Patient Engagement strategy is aligned with brand strategy and translates into effective execution — and that execution data flows back to refine strategy over time. In partnership with Marketing and other functions, this role ensures the team has the right processes, tools, playbooks, and governance to execute with excellence, and continuously evolves those capabilities to keep pace with patient needs.

This person will work cross-functionally with Marketing, Patient Solutions leadership, Patient Solutions Enablement, Legal, Compliance, and other functions to operationalize strategy into scalable, compliant, and measurable Patient Engagement execution — including the go-to-market and launch plans that stand-up new patient engagement models and programs, and accelerate or evolve existing ones to better meet patient needs. This role will report to the Specialty Care Patient Solutions and Engagement Strategy and Enablement Lead.

• Accelerate and streamline ways of working between Patient Engagement field roles and other customer-facing teams (Sales, KADs, Medical, Access and Reimbursement etc.) to close coordination gaps and improve the end-to-end customer and patient experience

• Support meeting planning, including Year Beginning, Mid-Year and POA meetings

Analytics & Performance Management

• Serve as a strategic thought partner with the Patient Solutions Enablement team, IIS, and other enablement roles on KPIs, metrics, reporting dashboards, field technology, and related tools, ensuring they are fit for purpose and consistently defined

• Partner with IIS and enablement teams to shape dashboard and reporting requirements that track targeting effectiveness, channel performance, and program productivity

• Deliver regular insights to Patient Engagement Leadership and marketing, recommending strategy or execution adjustments based on performance data

Cross-Functional Governance & Enablement

• Partner with GCET to develop Patient Engagement team competencies and equip leaders to coach effectively against them

• Serve as a key liaison across Marketing, Sales, Patient Solutions, Medical, Legal, Compliance, Digital, and other functions to ensure aligned, compliant, and efficient GTM execution
