Established scientific relationships with relevant specialists, amyloidosis centers, or multidisciplinary amyloidosis teams in the territory.
Experience supporting a pre-launch or launch-stage product, particularly in a first-in-class, diagnostic, molecular-imaging, or radiopharmaceutical environment.
Working knowledge of systemic amyloidosis, including ATTR and AL pathways, and the roles of imaging, laboratory assessment, biopsy, specialist referral, and multidisciplinary care.
Experience gathering actionable insights, mapping diagnostic or referral pathways, and supporting evidence-generation or investigator-initiated research programs.
Experience collaborating across Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, HEOR/RWE, Market Access, Regulatory, Medical Information, and technical field functions.
Familiarity with CRM and insight-capture platforms such as Veeva.

Responsibilities

Identify, develop, and maintain compliant scientific relationships with relevant healthcare professionals and institutional stakeholders.
Conduct balanced, peer-to-peer scientific exchange on systemic and cardiac amyloidosis, diagnostic pathways, clinical evidence, and investigational data.
Deliver scientific presentations and disease-state education using approved resources.
Execute a territory engagement plan focused on relationship depth, multidisciplinary institutional reach, and follow-up.
Gather, document, and communicate insights about diagnostic and referral pathways, evidence gaps, educational needs, operational readiness, access themes, and adoption barriers.
Translate field observations into insights that inform Medical strategy, educational planning, evidence priorities, launch preparedness, and cross-functional action.
Map diagnostic pathways and key decision points at priority institutions.
Use approved systems to document engagements, insights, follow-up, and territory-plan progress.
Advance understanding of systemic and cardiac amyloidosis and associated underdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and referral challenges.
Identify institution-specific educational needs and support approved disease-state initiatives, advisory boards, congress activities, and other Medical Affairs programs.
Engage stakeholders across relevant specialties to understand patient pathways from suspicion through referral, imaging, diagnosis, and follow-up.

Identify and appropriately triage investigator-initiated research concepts and evidence gaps through established Medical Affairs processes.
Contribute to assigned evidence-generation, publication, congress, medical-resource, or advisory-board workstreams.
Assess priority-center readiness and identify gaps in referral pathways, scientific understanding, readers, technologists, workflow, or infrastructure.
Route readiness gaps to the appropriate accountable function and monitor follow-up through approved processes.
Collaborate with Molecular Imaging Specialists and other authorized partners while maintaining role boundaries; technical protocol implementation and scanner-specific execution remain with designated technical roles.
Collaborate with Medical Information, Medical Communications, HEOR/RWE, Commercial, Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Market Access, and other relevant partners in compliance with applicable requirements.
Support internal scientific training on disease state, diagnostic pathways, and clinical evidence as requested.
