•Effectively engage with leadership teams for assigned domains to ensure they have a holistic view of ERC risks presented in their strategies (key watch areas, what’s going well, etc.) and collaborate to implement strategies to address key or emerging risks.
•Conduct low-risk compliance investigations and reviews as assigned promptly and with a high degree of rigor, identifying patterns of activity that require remediation and process improvements.
•Continually assess identified issues from compliance reviews and investigations, monitoring results, and other data to identify opportunities to improve US policy, develop plans to address high priority opportunities, and advocate for a process of continuous improvement within Advisory, Policy, & Learning.
•Proactively monitor evolving US healthcare environment, enforcement trends and compliance programs of other pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies related to assigned marketing domains to identify and share insights within ERC.
•Be a knowledge expert related to Novartis healthcare compliance policies, procedures and CIA requirements and how they apply to associates’ roles and responsibilities throughout of the US organization.
•Develop trusted relationships with associates of all levels in Corporate functions and other teams to promote a SpeakUp culture and collaborate with all teams to strengthen a positive culture towards compliance and ethical decision making as an integral part of how we reimagine medicine for patients.
