What you will do
Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. Sjögren’s disease is a debilitating autoimmune disease with significant unmet medical need and no approved disease-modifying therapies. Dazodalibep is an investigational medicine currently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of Sjögren’s disease. As a potential first-in-class treatment in a disease area with significant unmet need, the U.S. launch will require both compelling brand strategy and innovative approaches to educate, engage, and activate HCPs.
In this role, the Medical Marketing – Sjögren’s Disease, Senior Manager will lead the U.S. opinion leader (OL) engagement and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) strategy, Sjögren’s Disease Speaker Bureau, and marketing-led HCP education.

In a fast-moving, highly cross-functional environment, this role will set the strategy for opinion leader engagement and peer-to-peer education, build trusted relationships across the expert community, and turn customer and field insights into meaningful launch priorities. Advisory boards and other primary insight-generation forums are led by the Insights & Congress Strategy Senior Manager; this role translates those learnings into engagement plans.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
