Job description
Orion Group Life Sciences are looking for a Senior Biopharmaceutical Rep on behalf of our Multinational Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology client located in Uxbridge. Initial 6-month contract, with possibility of extension and for the right candidate a possibility to go permanent.
What you will do
Our client will be launching a biosimilar within the Gastroenterology space and in 2 Phases. The first phase will be in July 2024 and the second phase in September 2024. There will be a tender and then a contract put in place, though we don't know the content or outcome of this at this stage. The biosimilar will be promoted by the current Inflammation sales force team of 11 Regional Account Managers who currently also promote Amgevita (Adalimumab biosimilar) and Otezla (Apremilast). Following analysis when preparing the 'Go to Market Model' for the launch biosimilar it is evident that in order to achieve all KPIs related to activity and sales and for a successful launch further capacity is needed. The launch phase will move fast with biosimilar uptake being steep during the first 6 months post launch. The increased capacity with 2 contingency workers will ensure all relevant stakeholders are reached during the launch phase and the Inflammation current portfolio will also reach KPIs set for each Brand. There will be other competitor biosimilars coming to the market at the same time.
We are adding 2 FTE Contingency workers to support the reach to key stakeholders during the launch phase of a new biosimilar. This would be on an initial contract period of 6 months.

- Examples of insights may be recent formulary/biosimilar choice decisions and any competitor intelligence that will drive tactics Nationally.
- Stakeholder mapping - to identify and access key stakeholders involved in biosimilar decision making and biosimilar implementation at account level, including clinical and payor stakeholders.
- To reach priority accounts allocated with pace and understand the formulary process steps, access those stakeholders involved to achieve formulary status.
