  • Ensure the call center is fully prepared for launch, including training, content availability, escalation pathways, and performance metrics.
  • Proactively manage call center/contractors responsible for responding to MIRs (including escalations from the call center) from Health Care Providers.
  • Monitor vendor performance, quality, and compliance; implement corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Lead regular advanced literature evaluation and data synthesis to support MI content and scientific responses.
  • Leverage technology and innovation to optimize the delivery of MI, including the use of digital platforms and AI tools.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Regulatory, Safety, Clinical Development, Compliance, and Medical Directors to ensure MI content reflects the most current scientific and safety information.
  • Assist with the development and creation of the AMCP dossiers (unapproved and approved use) in collaboration with senior MI personnel, HEOR lead, Market Access, Medical, Legal, Regulatory.

  • Serve as a key contributor to launch readiness planning and cross‑functional medical governance.

  • Contribute to the development of the MI annual and multi‑year strategic and tactical plans including overall strategy and objectives.
