About the Role
The Medical Communications Manager serves as Takeda’s external-facing scientific communications lead for GI2 (Gastroenterology and Inflammation). This role is responsible for planning and executing medical education and omni-channel scientific communication—traditional, innovative, and digital. Partnering closely with DD&T (Digital, Data & Technology), Field Medical, and Medical Advisors, the manager translates evidence into clear, compliant, and impactful narratives, orchestrates customer journeys, and employs AI-driven analytics and advanced CRM to continuously enhance reach, engagement, and educational outcomes.
How You Will Contribute
- Scientific Communications Strategy: Own the GI2 medical communications plan aligned with the medical strategy; define audiences, messages, channels, and success metrics; ensure scientific accuracy and consistency across assets.
- Medical Education (MedEd): Design and deliver accredited and non-accredited MedEd (e.g., symposia, webinars, masterclasses, microlearning), partnering with external experts and internal stakeholders; evaluate learning outcomes. Initiatives must strategically address critical educational gaps within the GI2 therapeutic area, ensuring content bridges these gaps and advances clinical understanding and patient outcomes.
- Omni-Channel Orchestration: Design scientific customer journeys and execute omni-channel campaigns (email, web, social, virtual events) in OCE automation; personalize content based on insights and KOL profiling.
- Content Operations & Review: Adapt/create scientific content (slides, leave-behinds, infographics, videos, FAQs); manage references, scientific narratives, and MLR review in Veeva Vault or equivalent.
- Insights & Analytics: Leverage data analytics and dashboards to measure reach, engagement, and impact; apply A/B testing and continuous optimization.
- Publications Support (Local): Coordinate with Medical Advisors and Global Publications on local publication needs (abstracts, posters, congress booths) in line with global/local publication policies.
- Collaboration & Governance: Work cross-functionally with Field Medical, Medical Advisors, DD&T, Market Access, PV, and Legal/Compliance to ensure aligned, timely, and compliant execution.
- Vendor & Budget Management: Select and manage agencies/vendors; track budgets, timelines, and quality; ensure SoW alignment and performance.
- Compliance & Ethics: Ensure all activities adhere to Takeda-ism, SOPs, local codes, and regulatory standards; uphold fair-balanced, non-promotional scientific communication.
Skills and Capabilities You Bring to the Role
- Advanced degree in Life Sciences (PharmD/PhD/MD or MSc with equivalent experience).
- Fluent in German or French; excellent English; ability to write and review scientific content with rigor and clarity.
- 2–4 years’ experience in Medical Affairs/Medical Communications; experience in Immunology (Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, or Inflammatory bowel disease) is advantageous.
- Strong scientific writing, storytelling, and health literacy skills.
- High level of agility along with teamwork skills and a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Strong digital literacy: hands-on experience with OCE/campaign automation (Salesforce Marketing Cloud), Veeva Vault (PromoMats/MedComms), and Microsoft 365 (Teams, Planner, Copilot).
- Data literacy and proficiency with AI-driven analytics (dashboards, experimentation, KPI tracking).
- Project and vendor management; ability to concurrently deliver multiple initiatives with high quality.
- Solid knowledge of compliance frameworks and local industry codes for scientific/MedEd activities.
