- You're comfortable with P&L ownership, forecasting, and translating market insights into concrete go-to-market execution
- You want direct exposure to oncology patient access challenges and can balance commercial growth with healthcare sustainability
- You speak Spanish fluently and understand Peru's public/private healthcare segmentation and tendering dynamics
- You need remote work flexibility—this is on-site only in Lima
- You lack pharma or regulated industry background; the compliance, approval workflows, and stakeholder navigation are steep
