Customer Engagement Lead

Role Description

• The Customer Engagement Lead within the insight-driven Business Excellence(iBEX) team leads enterprise-wide transformation of customer engagement and ways of working for the AI era. The role sets the strategic direction for how AstraZeneca Korea engages customers across Sales, Marketing, Market Access, Medical and other customer-facing functions, and translates AstraZeneca’s C2030 vision into practical engagement models, capabilities and adoption. The first priority is the Customer Engagement Loop (CEL), the 2027 Korea version of the existing Closed Loop Marketing (CLM), which changes how the field works by capturing HCP signals in every interaction and connecting them to the right next action. CEL then becomes the foundation for omnichannel, AI-enabled ways of working, Next Best Action (NBA) and Future CRM. The role ensures strong business ownership, cross-functional alignment and sustainable adoption across the organization.

Typical Accountabilities

• Lead enterprise-wide Customer Engagement transformation: Define the Korea Customer Engagement Blueprint and operating model for the AI era, setting clear principles, roles and ways of working across customer-facing functions while ensuring alignment with C2030, business priorities and Global / International guidance.

• Lead CEL and omnichannel evolution: Lead the Korea launch of CEL by designing the operating model and engagement pathways with BU champions and cross-TA / cross-functional teams, make it useful to the field so that it is adopted because it helps, and evolve the model beyond launch.

• Drive AI-enabled ways of working: Identify and lead AI-enabled Customer Engagement use cases, including AI-assisted call preparation, AI-enabled coaching and other solutions that improve preparation, interaction quality, productivity and decision-making across customer-facing teams.

• Build future-ready CRM-enabled capabilities: Set business priorities and governance for Veeva, CEL and engagement data as future-ready capabilities required to deliver C2030, keeping CRM as an enabler of the broader Customer Engagement transformation.

• Build customer-engagement capability for C2030: Lead Sales and Market Access customer-engagement capability linked to C2030, including call competency development, AI-enabled coaching and change-management programs required to embed new ways of working.

• Lead cross-functional partnership and alignment: Partner with Business Units, Market Access, Medical and other customer-facing functions to create consistent, practical and compliant engagement approaches across customer interactions; engage Global teams and enabling functions as needed.

• Lead and develop the Customer Engagement team: Set clear priorities and accountability, and build a collaborative and high-performing team.
