We are looking for a Portfolio Account Specialist to join our existing high-performing Immunology team, promoting our foundational immunology therapy and working closely with dermatologists across NSW South.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong external experience in the hospital ecosystem, deep customer engagement skills, and a passion for building trusted relationships across specialist care.
As a Portfolio Account Specialist, you will be a leading driver of customer interactions and sales performance. You will represent our customer experience approach, building deep, insight-led relationships that deliver value for healthcare professionals, customers, and patients.
You will use data, customer insights, and strong account planning to identify opportunities, prioritise high-potential customers, and orchestrate meaningful engagements across multiple channels. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will help design and deliver solutions that address customer needs and support the patient journey.

  • Identify and prioritise high-potential healthcare professionals and stakeholders who influence treatment decisions.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with dermatologists, opinion leaders, and key stakeholders within the hospital and specialist ecosystem.
  • Engage customers through value-based conversations, both in person and virtually, to understand their challenges, priorities, pain points, and opportunities.
  • Develop tailored customer engagement plans that reflect customer preferences and leverage available content and channels.
  • Create memorable, customer-centric experiences by listening deeply and understanding the healthcare environment in which customers operate.
  • Partner with healthcare professionals to support sustained, ethical, and compliant collaboration over time.
  • Gather and apply deep customer insights to inform territory, account, and customer interaction plans.
  • Share customer insights with internal stakeholders to support relevant product, indication, campaign, and engagement planning.
  • Collaborate compliantly with cross-functional teams to develop solutions that address unmet customer and patient needs.
  • Act as a trusted partner to customers, bringing integrity, transparency, and a value-add mindset to every interaction.
  • Uphold the highest standards of professional ethics, compliance, and company values.
  • Report technical complaints, adverse events, and special case scenarios related to company products within required timeframes.
  • Support distribution of marketing samples where applicable and compliant.

What we’re looking for

You will bring:

  • Experience in healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or a related commercial environment.
