The role sits at the intersection of clinical insight and commercial execution, requiring the candidate to partner with nephrologists, navigate specialty pharmacy distribution, and provide tangible support to underserved patients. Candidates should be comfortable with data‑driven territory planning, possess a proven track record in high‑value biotech sales, and align with Travere’s values of courage, community, patient focus, and teamwork.
