- Participate in TA strategic governance as a standing contributor to surface and act on engagement priorities, risks, and opportunities.
- Define engagement ways of working and strategic decision frameworks (prioritization logic, operating model, governance readouts); advise countries/teams on tactical choices and execution sequencing.
- Prioritize and refresh the TA portfolio of strategic experts and priority medical societies using defined criteria and data signals (differentiate established KOLs vs. evolving scientific influencers).

- Implement enterprise frameworks/tools in NGI operations (e.g., Stakeholder Engagement Framework/TRAIl, MedIS, Launch Excellence/SILC).
- Translate strategy into repeatable operational mechanisms (templates, stakeholder segmentation, prioritization refresh cadence, governance readouts) and scale execution via hubs and affiliate adoption.
- Ensure an end-to-end insight loop connects engagement outcomes to TA decisions/priorities.
- Prepare leadership-ready engagement performance readouts for governance forums (evidence-based, decision-oriented).
- Ensure high-performance delivery at priority congresses (pre-planning, objective alignment, coverage model, post-event insights and actions).
- Partner with Scientific Communications and omnichannel stakeholders to elevate future-facing engagement channels.
- Use data and external signals to identify emerging experts and shifts in scientific influence relevant to TA priorities.
- Ensure activities adhere to scientific engagement governance principles and appropriate cross-functional boundaries.
