Role: Associate Director Oncology Treatment Site Lead (TSL), field-based, responsible for operational support and site readiness for an upcoming U.S. launch of an individualized neoantigen mRNA therapy for early-stage melanoma. Objectives include educating treatment sites on workflows, logistical requirements, and supporting end-to-end operational execution post-FDA approval. Responsibilities encompass onboarding, process education, operational issue resolution, stakeholder collaboration, and performance monitoring at treatment sites in GA and SC. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree, minimum of 5 years in healthcare or life sciences (e.g., provider operations, account management), with strong understanding of healthcare ecosystems and complex oncology workflows. Required skills include account management, cross-functional collaboration, logistics, and stakeholder engagement.

The position is remote with a focus on the Atlanta region, requiring the ability to build relationships with operational stakeholders and resolve logistical issues to ensure seamless therapy delivery.
