The Country Medical Manager (CMM) is a trusted, externally focused, scientifically grounded partner within our customer engagement model. By building and maintaining deep and trusted connections with key top-tier customers over a meaningful period of time, the CMM will generate impact by anticipating and proactively optimizing medical practice, and ensure that Roche is a preferred partner in our key disease areas. 
The Medical function serves as a critical engine of competitiveness to ensure our innovations reach their full potential for patients with an end to end perspective. The role of the CMM is designed to maximize local and cross-country medical and scientific activities to accelerate the delivery of our pipeline, differentiate our portfolio based on data, drive strategic advocacy, community engagement, medical practice adoption, and access to our portfolio by proactively capitalizing on "Moments that Matter" across the asset lifecycle. 

• Medical Expertise: responsible for proactively contributing strong scientific, medical, and therapeutic area expertise within the relevant diseases informing differentiation of our pipeline and portfolio. Acting as a medical expert for the pipeline and portfolio throughout the product life cycle.

• Proactive Targeted Medical Engagement: As a medical function our ambition is to spend the majority of our time proactively engaging with external customers as partners in the integrated customer engagement strategy. The CMM serves as the scientific and medical expert, proactively engaging top-tier TAEs, and other key stakeholders in full strategic and operational alignment with other in-field roles. In the pre-launch phase it is the priority to drive proactive E2E strategies that deliver superior experience, anticipate the future and shape medical practice accordingly. In the post-launch phase the engagement continues to ensure that the right patients are treated at the right time and the engagement scope expands on unserved patient populations. In-field engagement serves as a critical component of this overarching strategy for targeted scientific engagement. It is understood that based on business needs the CMM can serve as the primary point of contact for certain customers with the ambition to drive required healthcare system changes and where feasible earlier and broader adoption of our transformative portfolio.
• Medical Partnership & Education: Establish and maintain effective peer-to-peer relationships with external stakeholders and identify/develop science-driven collaborations withTAEs. Provide current, high-quality, integrated Medical Education plan and differentiating scientific information to external customers, support the scientific training of internal teams and ensure continuous education on medical knowledge for PPoC roles. Conduct high-quality, non-promotional International/National Scientific Exchanges to disseminate relevant data, foster physician confidence and clinical endorsement based on differentiating evidence and experience.
• Insight Generation: Based on aligned goals in the franchise team, the CMM should systematically conduct insight generation initiatives for responsible disease area/indication, including designing, collecting, analyzing, and translating external scientific and clinical practice insights (including patient perspectives) into strategic actionable and differentiating recommendations for the franchise team. Insights are secured in peer to peer discussions and via targeted medical activities. One of the medical activities involves medical/scientific advisory boards as a source of insights and strategic counsel.

• Adherence to Standards: Ensure all medical activities, including customer engagements, research projects, and material co-creation, are executed in line with company policies, procedures, and the highest compliance standards. This includes strict adherence to corporate policies, ethical behavior, local regulatory requirements as well as Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP).

• Maximizing HTA Value: Contribute scientific and medical expertise to local Health Technology Assessment (HTA) submissions and interactions, ensuring critical appraisal mindset on our data packages with good statistical understanding and by discussing the evidence for its transferability to the real-world healthcare setting. CMM should lead a holistic evidence generation strategy to support market access to articulate the differentiating value story of our innovations in the local context to secure patient access.

– CMM ensures early insights are used to generate local IEP/local gap analysis so data generation nitiatives support the HTA value package locally. CMM validates the data's scientific integrity and, through additional stakeholder exchange (TAEs/societies), ensures the HTA submission is clinically relevant and credible.

• Shaping Medical Practice: In parallel with the development of strategic partnerships with external customers to shape medical practice and drive the adoption of medical innovations, a core focus of the role is the systematic collection of insights, as well as the identification and addressing of medical and customer needs. These insights will serve to inform and guide the development or localization of the Disease Area (DA) company’s strategy. This includes contextualizing AI information with internal and external stakeholders as new technologies will disrupt the role of medical professionals.
