  • Lead KOL/KOC collaboration: Identify, onboard, and manage partnerships with healthcare influencers to co-create compliant, educational, and engaging content.
  • Oversee content/topic generation, ensuring alignment with medical, legal, and regulatory (MLR) review processes.
  • Optimize platform-specific approaches by leveraging knowledge of each platform’s logic, algorithms, advantages, and limitations (e.g., short-video vs. long-form content).
  1. Compliance & Business Acumen
  • Navigate strict pharmaceutical advertising regulations (e.g., China’s Drug Administration Law, clinical guidelines) to ensure all content meets compliance standards.
  • Translate complex medical information into accessible, patient-friendly content without compromising accuracy.
  • Monitor industry trends and competitor activities to identify opportunities and risks.
  1. Performance & Accountability
  • Define KPIs (Reach, view, interaction, etc.) and regularly analyze performance to refine strategies.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Medical Affairs, Compliance & Legal, Communication, etc.) to align social media efforts with business goals.
  • Manage crises or misinformation swiftly.
  1. Innovation & Adaptability
  • Experiment with emerging formats (e.g., live Q&A with HCPs, interactive tools) to enhance user engagement.
  • Adapt strategies based on platform updates, regulatory changes, or shifts in patient/HCP behavior.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 3+ years in social media operations, preferably in healthcare/pharmaceuticals or highly regulated industries.
  • Proven track record in KOL/KOC management and content creation for medical/health topics.
  • Familiarity with prescription drug business models (e.g., EC, internet HP, etc.).
  • Skills:
  • Deep understanding of social media ecosystems (China + global platforms).
