  • Develop competitive selling strategies covering clinical differentiation, value positioning, access dynamics, and total cost of care.
  • Build objection-handling capabilities around biosimilar switching, interchangeability, clinical skepticism, reimbursement, site-of-care economics, and perceived biosimilar risk.
  • Own certification and recertification programs covering clinical knowledge, compliant CVA usage, competitive readiness, and compliance-critical content.
  • Lead new-hire onboarding and continuous development programs for experienced sales representatives and first-line leaders.
  • Conduct field observations and needs assessments to identify capability gaps and translate findings into targeted training initiatives.
  • Serve as a guardian and subject-matter expert of the organization’s selling model, ensuring consistent, customer-centric field execution.
  • Support product launches, lifecycle changes, market shifts, and ongoing commercial training needs.
  • Partner with Medical Affairs, Marketing, Compliance, Legal, Sales Leadership, and Market Access to ensure training is scientifically accurate, compliant, and commercially aligned.

  • Experience with Immunology / IBD / specialty pharmaceutical sales preferred.
  • Knowledge of Buy & Bill economics, site-of-care dynamics, Medicare Part B, and commercial payer environments.
  • Experience supporting or launching biosimilars or complex therapeutic portfolios is highly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of adult learning principles, facilitation, and field coaching.
  • Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Medical, Marketing, Compliance, Legal, and Sales Leadership.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, facilitation, and influencing skills.
