• Establishes and maintains strong working relationships with external medical experts locally and internationally, including academic societies.
• Plans and conducts Advisory Boards as needed to obtain insights.
• Presents scientific and clinical data in a variety of different settings.
• Works collaboratively with Gilead personnel in European affiliates, Global Medical Affairs, Clinical Research, Marketing, Market Access, Sales, Regulatory Affairs, Drug Safety, Public and Government Affairs.
• Supports the generation of scientific data through collaboration with the Gilead personnel in R&D and Clinical Operations, site support in clinical trials, and by developing local clinical trials including study protocols, as needed.
• Is responsible for supporting and coordinating Investigator Sponsored Trials - including collaboration with investigators and internal Gilead personnel.
