About the role
Description
Medison is addressing one of the pharma industry’s most pressing challenges: enabling access to breakthrough therapies for patients with severe and rare diseases in international markets where traditional commercialization models fall short.
As the creator and leader of the global partnership category, Medison has built a first-of-its-kind unified commercialization platform that enables biotechs to effectively plan, optimize and launch their therapies on a global scale.
With a strong leadership team and a proven track record, Medison is the partner of choice for innovative biotech companies seeking to expand beyond the US, Western Europe and Japan into regions where most of the world’s population resides. Medison’s affiliate-like model integrates commercial, medical and operational capabilities across diverse geographies, accelerating access and delivering life-changing treatments to more patients, faster.
Medison is on a mission to ensure that every patient, regardless of where they live, has the opportunity to benefit from breakthrough therapies.
The Corporate Marketing & Communications function is being built from the ground up to establish Medison as the category creator and leader and position the company as the partner of choice for biotech innovators.
