Empowering Growth: Building a Robust Medical Affairs Function for a Biotech Innovator
Challenge:
A rapidly growing biotech company faced an urgent need to scale their scientific, project management, medical affairs, and medical communication teams. With limited internal resources, they required a strategic approach to ensure seamless team expansion and alignment with their commercial objectives.
Solution:
We began by conducting a comprehensive review of the company’s existing organizational structure to identify critical gaps and prioritize areas where Medical Affairs could add the most value. To address immediate needs, we embedded seasoned Medical Affairs professionals in-house, serving as both a Medical Director and Strategic Operations Lead, to drive initiatives and provide overall organizational support. Working closely with stakeholders, we developed and executed a forward-thinking Medical Affairs strategy that was fully aligned with the company’s commercial goals.
