About the Job

Join the team transforming care for people with immune challenges, rare diseases, cancers, and neurological conditions. In Specialty Care, you’ll help deliver breakthrough treatments that bring hope to patients with some of the highest unmet needs.

Sanofi’s Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) Thought Leader Liaison (TLL) is a field-based commercial role that: (1) leverages data to seamlessly identify and profile customers, (2) coordinates HCP peer-to-peer and patient programming, as well as (3) gathers insights across customer groups to inform commercial strategy and execution. The TLL is expected to possess a high level of knowledge regarding the AATD landscape and compliance to be successful in engaging customers, while adhering to all pharma, field, and headquarters protocols and procedures when engaging customers.

The TLL engages key opinion leaders (KOLs) on the AATD speaker bureau to provide education to HCPs and patients, the latter of which is enabled by patient advocacy groups (PAGs).
