Job Description
The Cell Therapy Account Manager (CTAM) has primary responsibility for developing the relationship with Gilead/Kite’s Authorized Treatment Centers (ATCs) in Romania and serves as the ATC’s primary point of contact with Gilead/Kite. In this role, the CTAM is responsible for driving appropriate utilization of Gilead/Kite’s CAR T therapies within the account and ensuring the delivery of a seamless customer experience. To accomplish these goals, the CTAM will cultivate strong relationships with account stakeholders, coordinate all of Gilead/Kite’s activities within the ATC, develop strategic account plans and communicate the value of CAR T therapy to key account stakeholders.

Everyone at Gilead/Kite is grounded by one common goal – curing cancer. We are at the forefront of immunotherapy and engineered T cell therapy. Our personalized approach is what sets us apart. Unlike traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing, our therapies are not created on an assembly line. With CAR T-cell therapy, we are reengineering a patient’s own immune cells to fight cancer — one patient at a time. We also are entering a pivotal time in our history with multiple planned launches and evolving competitive dynamics on a global scale. That means a fast moving, constantly changing environment and innovative culture, where we make discoveries every day – discoveries that include our own capabilities and our individual potential.
