Regional Medical Advisor Pipeline LATAM

The Regional Medical Advisor Pipeline (RMAP) is a vital part of Global DR&S, serving as a field-based scientific resource responsible for the external scientific engagement (ESE) strategy for designated programs within a Therapeutic Area (TA) in their region. Collaborating closely with internal and external stakeholders, the RMAP will work on designated trials and cross-program scientific engagement needs. The RMAP will establish and maintain relationships with Key External Experts (KEEs) within a specific region to advise on Alexion’s clinical development strategy and trial execution within a TA. Reporting directly to the Global TA Head of External Scientific Engagement for Hematology, Nephrology & Transplants (HNT), the RMAP will play a crucial role in ensuring the successful performance of clinical trials, supporting activities such as early insight collection, guiding feasibility, and enhancing trial recruitment and retention.
