Job Description:

Position Summary

The Key Account Manager – Immunology is a target-carrying account owner responsible for launching and scaling the Tremfya franchise (PSO, PsA / psoriatic disease and the emerging IBD opportunity) across government / institutional reimbursed accounts. The role follows a focused launch-and-scale model: establish IL-23 leadership in high-readiness accounts, convert accessible patient pools into treated and continued patients.

Central access creation (Rate Contracts, registrations, listings, GTE and tenders) is owned by the Central Account Team; the incumbent facilitates that access at account level and converts it into procurement and reimbursed sales. Launch priority accounts are Army, CGHS and Railways,expanding to ESI, States, Autonomous institutes and PSU as the business scales. The unifying discipline is: Map deeply → Facilitate access → Shape protocol & biologic sequencing → Identify opportunity pool.

• Ensure accurate demand forecasting, order fulfilment coordination and timely account receivables in partnership with the Value and Supply teams.

• Map each account end-to-end — PsD / IBD patient pool, treating specialists, formulary and access status — and build a prioritized 360° launch account plan.

• Apply account-archetype logic: Army (early adoption / biologic leadership), CGHS (referral roadmap + formulary), Railways (scalable platform), ESI (future pathway), Autonomous / State (setting pathway and discussions for Franchise (Product promotion) & Medical Team for advocacy & protocol inclusion)

Facilitate Access & Navigate Reimbursement Pathways

• Facilitate the Value Team’s central access (Army RC, CGHS listing, Railway AMI/registration, GTE inclusion) at account level via account intelligence, documentation and ground follow-up — the KAM facilitates and utilises access .

• Navigate account-specific approval and procurement processes (e.g., Army MMF / PVMS, CGHS STC / non-STC, local-purchase routes) to minimise access-to-treatment timelines.

Value, Influence, Stakeholder Orchestration & Compliance

• Deliver the differential IL-23 value proposition vs IL-17 / anti-TNF competition, engage KOLs and government decision networks, and build advocacy for formulary and protocol inclusion .

• Act as cross-functional ‘quarterback’ across Medical, Franchise and Value; ensure ethical, compliant engagement and adherence to SOPs on tender interactions and HCC.

• Ensure all account and commercial activities comply with the J&J Credo, Health Care Compliance (HCC) policies, anti-bribery / anti-corruption standards and applicable local regulations.
