• Contribute to the creation of Lilly medicine brand plans and supporting tactics with a particular focus on representation and integration of the patient perspective.
• Collaborate closely with other medical and commercial field team members to cohesively approach regional challenges and opportunities associated with the clinical implementation of a Lilly medicine.
