Job Summary
Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. has launched a new customer engagement approach designed to better deliver on patient, caregiver and HCP needs in an evolving healthcare environment. The new model is built around where patients get their care—locally, with the intent to better serve patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers, delivering a higher quality experience that ultimately is focused on improving patient care.
The local “ecosystem approach” creates a unified focus among account management, medical, patient access and market access to engage local healthcare systems and identify opportunities to improve the patient experience. Through this matrix model, customers will now experience more coordinated and seamless care with digital-enabled support to help bridge care gaps.
The Ecosystem Lead will report to a Sr. Business Director (SBD) and be grouped into a regional area. The SBDs have significant autonomy to assess unique market priorities and customize decisions that reflect local customer needs. In the future, Otsuka will be shifting to a team-based approach to drive customer engagement quality, accountability, and cohesion around patients and healthcare providers.
Ultimately, it is all about putting customers at the center of everything we do.

The Ecosystem Lead will work collaboratively with cross functional peers to develop the ecosystem business plan and execution strategy for engaging with key systems of care to create joint value for Otsuka, customers, and patients.
