Establishing community health SOPs, identifying stakeholders, and defining stakeholder partnerships are foundational to success. This is a highly collaborative role that requires exceptional negotiation skills working very closely with legal, compliance, medical and regulatory. In addition, cross functional alignment with the community activation team, brand team, and sales teams, on the community health roadmap is paramount to success.
