  • Lead onboarding for new hires, accelerating time-to-productivity

  • Drive EMEA product launch readiness through comprehensive training programs covering product, clinical evidence, competitive positioning, and go-to-market strategy

4. Systems, Tools & Performance Analytics

  • Enable adoption and effective use of commercial tools such as Salesforce Summit, Power BI, and LMS platforms

  • Utilise CRM and analytics to identify trends in pipeline health, forecasting accuracy, and conversion rates

  • Recommend targeted capability interventions to improve commercial performance and execution
