Associate Remote Infectious Disease Jobs (NOW HIRING)

POSITION SUMMARY 

The Regional Account Manager (RAM) is responsible for disease-state education and account-readiness activities in Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV). This is a highly strategic, pre-launch role responsible for advancing disease awareness, supporting account readiness, and helping to establish the foundation for appropriate patient identification and management in a market with profound unmet need. The RAM will work across Infectious Disease, and community-based healthcare providers caring for patients with chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection to improve awareness, screening, diagnosis, referral process, and education for HDV.

HDV represents the most severe form of viral hepatitis, requiring Hepatitis B co-infection for replication and spread. Despite an estimated U.S. prevalence of ~40,000 patients and ~15,000 who are diagnosed, insured, and under care, there are currently no approved therapies in the U.S., underscoring the urgency and importance of this role.

The successful candidate will thrive in ambiguity, demonstrate exceptional clinical credibility, and possess the entrepreneurial drive required to identify a market where established pathways and treatment paradigms do not yet exist.
