• Manage Commercial Performance: Own marketing budgets, pricing recommendations, sales forecasts, performance tracking, and corrective action plans for assigned portfolios.

• Shape the Market and Engage Customers: Develop market-shaping initiatives and build trusted relationships with key opinion leaders, customers, and sales teams to strengthen the value proposition and support clinical adoption.
• Develop People: Directly manage and develop up to two Product Managers by setting clear business and individual objectives, defining roles and accountabilities, and providing ongoing coaching and performance feedback.
