The 'Hygiene'Customer Engagement Lead will be part of a team of 3, each focused on a specific GTM strategy (combined customer+content segment). This dual-purpose Hygiene role will stretch from strategy through to execution, and drive marketing and omnichannel excellence across General Medicines. The Hygiene business objective is to maintain (flat) sales of the segment, as well as maximize the push of customers ready to convert into the Hub segments (high-quality leads for field team) through fully digital channels. You could join us to deliver the best possible impact on patients and business outcomes by taking ownership of a key segment of business accountability and owning the omnichannel customer journey for the Hygiene customer content segment end-to-end! General Medicines We are an innovative global healthcare company with a focus on immunology that extends to innovation in diabetes and transplant medicine. Across different countries, our talented teams are determined to deliver a best-in-class customer experience using the best of digital, artificial intelligence and personal know-how. With a focus on immunology that extends to innovation in diabetes and transplant medicines, we pursue progress to make a real impact on millions of patients around the world. Main responsibilities: This role is the "Hygiene" customer engagement lead, 1 of 3 each focused on a combined content+customer segment: Heros: one-off, high-investment, WOW factor content which comes out a few times a year.

Hero content has 'overflow' impact across all segments (eg conferences). Hub: frequent, regular push and reliably useful content eg helping customers along the adoption ladder. We map this onto our regular users, who are serviced by our field teams. Here both product and non-product content is key. Hygiene: always-on, on-demand (pull) basic content, designed to meet existing needs/questions.
