The posting

Here it Means More:

At Alexion/AstraZeneca More because of our deeper connection to patients. More because of the way we work, tackling complex healthcare systems with an entrepreneurial spirit, grit, and determination to reach the most under-served. More because of the impact we can make with a highly unique pipeline and exceptional expertise. But most of all, more because of our patients, their journey and their hope. That is what brings us closer to every individual, closer to our work, and closer together as a team.

This is What You Will Do:

The Regional Sales Director, US Neurology will be responsible for maximizing revenue by driving sales activity and providing leadership to the Neurology Regional Account Manager field force of 7-8 Specialists in your regional area.

This individual will oversee implementation of the Alexion sales/marketing disease, diagnostic and branded education awareness programs. Maintain effective communication and relationships with key external and internal customers.

The RSD will report to the Senior Director, Area Sales Lead, Neurology, East and will be part of the US Neurology Business Unit.

The territory geography is: Eastern Maryland, Washington DC, Eastern Virginia (surrounding Roanoke, Richmond area) and Eastern North Carolina. Richmond, VA territory epi-center.

You will be responsible for:

  • Set the commercial direction for a high-impact Mid-Atlantic region, translating national Neurology strategy into focused execution that meets or exceeds ambitious sales objectives.
  • Lead, coach, and elevate a team of 7–8 Regional Account Managers, creating the clarity, accountability, and development experiences that enable strong performers to deliver at their best.
  • Turn deep knowledge of rare-disease markets, local health systems, practice structures, and key influencers into differentiated regional priorities and actionable market insight for senior commercial leaders.
  • Use performance analytics, customer insights, and business judgment to identify growth opportunities, anticipate barriers, and deploy people and resources where they can create the greatest impact.
  • Partner with Regional Account Managers to build locally relevant business plans and customer strategies that advance disease, diagnostic, and branded education in a compliant and ethical manner.
  • Shape a high-performing regional culture by attracting exceptional talent, retaining critical capabilities, strengthening succession pipelines, and accelerating the growth of current and future leaders.
  • Maintain a visible field presence through purposeful customer visits and business reviews, providing timely coaching that strengthens both commercial performance and individual career development.
  • Build trusted relationships with physicians, thought leaders, and priority health-system stakeholders to deepen understanding of unmet needs and improve the customer experience.
  • Guide the team in opening new accounts, expanding existing partnerships, and navigating complex access and stakeholder environments across the region.
  • Set a high bar for clinical acumen, business acumen, customer engagement, and execution so every interaction reflects Alexion’s commitment to patients with rare diseases.
  • Create strong operating connections across Sales, Marketing, Medical, Market Access, Operations, and other partners to turn enterprise strategy into coordinated regional action.
  • Design and lead high-value Plan of Action meetings that sharpen strategic choices, strengthen team capability, and sustain execution momentum.
  • Bring a field-led perspective to the Neurology therapeutic area and influence US brand strategy by translating regional insights into enterprise opportunities.
  • Engage directly with the VP/Business Unit Lead and senior leadership through regular business reviews focused on growth, organizational health, talent, and delivery against corporate objectives.
  • Model enterprise leadership and uncompromising integrity, ensuring all decisions and activities comply with applicable laws, internal policies, and the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

You will need to have:

  • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, business, marketing, or a related discipline.
  • A sustained record of building leadership capability, developing talent, managing performance, and creating teams that consistently deliver.
  • At least 10 years of progressive experience in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, or an equivalent healthcare environment.
  • Leadership experience with manager-level talent and above, with the ability to lead through other leaders and deliver results across a complex region.
  • Specialty commercial experience engaging neurologists, neuro-immunologists, or other highly specialized customers; orphan-drug sales or launch experience is strongly valued.
  • Demonstrated success scaling or significantly expanding sales teams while protecting culture, performance standards, and customer continuity.
  • Broad commercial perspective gained through partnership with, or experience in, functions such as Marketing, Sales Operations, Medical, National or Corporate Accounts, Managed Markets, and Hospital Markets.
  • Experience leading through the complexity, pace, and cross-functional demands of a biopharmaceutical launch.
  • A valid driver’s license and a driving record that meets company requirements.
  • Residence within close proximity to the Mid-Atlantic region and the flexibility to travel regularly, including frequent overnight and occasional weekend travel.
  • The duties of this role are generally conducted in a field environment. As is typical of a field-based role, employees must be able, with or without an accommodation, to travel by public transportation, automobile, train, or plane; work comfortably in a clinical setting; use a computer; communicate by phone, video, and electronic messaging; solve problems; engage in complex and non-linear thought, analysis, and dialogue; collaborate with others; and maintain general availability during standard business hours.

We would prefer for you to have:

  • Advanced or master’s degree.
  • Bio/pharmaceutical leadership experience in Neurology and/or Ophthalmology, particularly in markets with complex diagnostic and referral pathways.
  • Rare-disease commercial leadership experience, including buy-and-bill, hospital, health-system, access, or similarly complex account environments.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
