Job Description
Inizio Engage is a global strategic, commercial, and creative engagement partner specializing in the healthcare industry. With a passionate and diverse workforce, Inizio Engage combines local expertise with cutting-edge data, scientific insight, and technology to provide tailored engagement solutions that empower clients to improve treatment outcomes. The company is dedicated to partnering with healthcare professionals and patients, ensuring patients receive the medicines, knowledge, and support they need to manage their health effectively. Inizio Engage takes pride in fostering an inclusive and collaborative work environment and has earned recognition as a Certified Great Place to Work in 2022, 2023, and 2025, as well as being named one of the Best Places to Work in BioPharma for three consecutive years from 2022 through 2024.
Cristcot is an innovative pharmaceutical company that stands out by addressing the problems within complex healthcare challenges. Unlike major pharma companies that overlook critical details, Cristcot focuses on creating better drugs, novel formulations, and optimized drug-device systems. Their commitment to innovation is evident as they prepare for a U.S. product launch in ulcerative colitis, an area requiring specialized knowledge and careful market execution. The company brings forward-thinking solutions in immunology and gastroenterology, driving the development of therapies that significantly improve patient outcomes.
The Regional Business Director role, offered through Inizio Engage on behalf of Cristcot, is a vital leadership position responsible for driving the commercial success of this new product launch. The role involves building and leading a high-performing field sales team, including recruiting, coaching, and developing Territory Business Managers (TBMs) to not only meet but surpass revenue, prescription (TRx/NBRx), and market share targets. This position requires translating high-level national commercial strategies into actionable regional plans and ensuring consistent, compliant execution.
This role demands a leader who thrives in complex, competitive environments and has experience in specialty pharmaceutical markets, ideally immunology or gastroenterology. The Regional Business Director will work cross-functionally with Marketing, Medical Affairs, Market Access, and Commercial Operations to align efforts and maximize product adoption. Emphasis is placed on utilizing digital and AI-enabled tools to enhance field effectiveness and customer engagement. The individual will also provide critical insights into payer dynamics, access challenges, and competitive landscapes to refine ongoing commercial strategies.
Offering a competitive base salary range of $160,000 to $200,000 per year, the position also provides excellent benefits that include accrued time off, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) plans, disability and life insurance, paid maternity and paternity leave, and employee discounts and promotions. This role offers extensive travel opportunities, requiring up to 50-70% travel within the region, making it ideal for leaders eager to engage directly with healthcare providers and key stakeholders.
In summary, the Regional Business Director at Inizio Engage supporting Cristcot represents a challenging and rewarding opportunity for experienced professionals seeking to lead a dynamic team in launching innovative therapies that make a real difference in patients' lives. The role combines strategic leadership with hands-on management and cross-functional collaboration to drive transformational success in the pharmaceutical landscape.
