The Regional Business Director will prepare for the anticipated launch of tirabrutinib, a highly potent and selective Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor being advanced for patients with relapsed or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (R/R PCNSL). PCNSL is a rare and aggressive extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma with significant unmet need, and tirabrutinib represents an important potential new treatment option for patients facing limited therapeutic choices.
The Regional Business Director will lead a regional sales team and play a critical role in shaping launch readiness by building regional business plans, developing team capabilities, and partnering closely with Market Access, Medical Affairs, Marketing, Commercial Operations, and other cross-functional stakeholders to prepare for a successful launch and support Deciphera’s efforts to bring tirabrutinib to patients in need.
