- Coordinate cross-functional planning for national and international scientific congresses, from pre-planning and execution to post-congress reporting.
- Develop and execute Medical Association strategies together with medical and cross-functional partners.
- Monitor project performance with KPIs, analyse field insights and healthcare trends, and share outcomes, risks and opportunities with key stakeholders.
