Job Responsibility
Revenue Leadership: Own and deliver the regional revenue target for the Critical Care portfolio.

Engage directly with senior intensivists, heads of critical care, and hospital procurement leadership to build FME's institutional presence
Strategic Account Oversight: Oversee account planning across all key hospitals in the region. Ensure Product Specialists have robust, actionable account plans and hold them accountable to milestones.

Market Development: Drive therapy expansion beyond existing accounts — identifying new hospital segments, emerging ICU setups, and underpenetrated geographies within the region. Work with the marketing team to execute regional initiatives aligned to national strategy
KOL & Institutional Engagement: Build and manage a regional KOL network across nephrology and critical care. Support the development of advocacy programs, clinical symposia, and peer-to-peer education initiatives that strengthen FME's therapy leadership in the region
