Senior Product Specialist Meta+ - Rare Disease

Senior Product Specialist – Meta+ Rare Disease at AstraZeneca

AstraZeneca is a global biopharmaceutical leader dedicated to transforming lives through innovative science and patient-centric solutions. As part of our commitment to advancing healthcare, we are pioneering a bold transformation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, aligning with the visionary goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Our mission is to drive sustainable growth, foster collaboration with healthcare stakeholders, and deliver life-changing therapies to patients in need. This dynamic environment demands forward-thinking professionals who are passionate about shaping the future of medicine and contributing to meaningful impact.

We are expanding our presence in the rare disease space following the acquisition of Alexion Pharmaceuticals in 2021. Rare diseases represent a high-growth therapeutic area with rapid innovation and immense unmet medical needs. With over 7,000 identified rare diseases, yet fewer than 1% having approved treatments, there is a critical opportunity to drive progress and improve patient outcomes. As we establish AstraZeneca as a leader in rare disease therapies, we seek a Senior Product Specialist to join our Commercial Team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Your Role and Impact

As a Senior Product Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in generating clinical demand for our rare disease portfolio by engaging with healthcare professionals (HCPs), identifying high-potential patient targets, and developing strategic relationships with key opinion leaders and external experts. Reporting directly to the Sales Manager, you will collaborate closely to adapt AstraZeneca’s account management strategy to the local market, ensuring tailored tactics and execution that drive business growth.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Driving Clinical Demand: Engage HCPs in evidence-based discussions to promote the value of our rare disease medicines, emphasizing efficacy, safety, and treatment protocols. Leverage both in-person and digital channels to communicate science-driven messages that support appropriate prescribing practices.
• Identifying Patient Opportunities: Proactively identify and prioritize new patient targets and those currently on therapy, ensuring alignment with AstraZeneca’s commercial objectives.
• Strategic Relationship Building: Develop deep, mutually beneficial partnerships with HCPs, Key External Experts (KEEs), and other stakeholders by leveraging your expertise in rare disease mechanisms and therapeutic solutions.
• Achieving Sales Objectives: Consistently exceed sales targets in your assigned region while maintaining accurate and timely tracking of activities and performance metrics.
• Market Development: Contribute to strategies and action plans that enhance patient identification, diagnosis, and market growth within your territory.
• Key Performance Imperatives: Focus on increasing disease awareness among target groups, identifying high-risk patients for relevant diseases, and ensuring the effective implementation of our commercial strategies.

This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of patients with rare diseases while contributing to AstraZeneca’s leadership in a rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape. Join us in Riyadh and be part of a team that is redefining the future of healthcare in Saudi Arabia.
