ABOUT PHOTHERA

Lucas James Talent Partners has been retained by Phothera, a Madison Medical company within Madison Industries, to identify a high-performing Dermatology Sales Specialist to launch and grow a strategically important territory spanning Illinois and Indiana.

This is not a traditional pharmaceutical sales role built around maintaining an established territory. Phothera is seeking a commercial professional who enjoys building markets, developing long-term provider relationships, educating clinicians, and creating new prescribing behavior.

Phothera is transforming how patients access phototherapy. Its home phototherapy platform enables appropriate patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and vitiligo to receive evidence-based, non-systemic narrowband UVB treatment at home rather than traveling to a dermatology office multiple times each week. Home phototherapy can offer an important option within a dermatologist's treatment approach, including for appropriate patients considering alternatives or complements to biologic therapies.

Backed by Madison Industries, Phothera combines the stability of an established organization with the visibility and opportunity of a growing commercial team.

THE OPPORTUNITY: BUILD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL

Rather than inheriting a mature territory with established prescribing habits, you will introduce practices to Phothera's platform, develop new clinical relationships, educate care teams on patient selection and workflow, and drive sustained provider adoption across Illinois and Indiana.

Success requires clinical credibility, disciplined territory management, and the ability to earn trust at every level of a dermatology practice. The ideal candidate knows how to engage dermatologists, advanced practice providers, biologic coordinators, office managers, medical assistants, and other staff whose support makes patient access possible.

This opportunity is especially compelling for an experienced medical dermatology representative who has spent years building physician relationships and now wants to put those relationships to work in a true builder role. Product launch experience is highly valued. You will have meaningful autonomy, direct leadership visibility, strong physician interaction, and the chance to influence how a growing commercial organization enters and develops its markets.

• Northwest suburbs: Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Palatine, Barrington, and Hoffman Estates

• Northwest Indiana: Hammond, Munster, Highland, Merrillville, Crown Point, and Valparaiso
• Additional Indiana markets: South Bend, Elkhart, Lafayette, Indianapolis, and surrounding communities, as business needs warrant

This is a field-first position. Expect to spend four or more days per week meeting with dermatology practices, planning efficient routes across Illinois and Indiana, and occasionally traveling overnight to maximize
