Ensure campaigns are insight-led, appropriately segmented, compliant and optimized for engagement, conversion and customer value.
  • Customer insight, KOLs and evidence: Maintain direct connection to strategic national laboratory, health-system, channel and distribution customers, key opinion leaders and other market stakeholders. Translate regional insight into global roadmaps, forecasts and portfolio decisions, and partner with Medical Affairs and Market Development on guidelines, reimbursement, health economics and clinical evidence strategies that accelerate adoption.
  • Sales enablement: Equip sales teams with compelling content, tools, platforms, training and field support that improve seller readiness, funnel progression and close rates. Lead marketing partnership for national sales meetings, new-hire education and priority commercial programs.
  • Events, thought leadership and reputation: Set strategy for congresses, trade shows, advocacy, public relations, influencer and thought-leadership programs. Create integrated experiences that strengthen share of voice, remove portfolio silos and deliver a consistent, differentiated customer experience.
  • Analytics, technology and continuous improvement: Establish marketing KPIs, closed-loop reporting and an ROI framework tied to commercial outcomes. Use data, AI, automation and Practical Process Improvement to increase speed, quality, personalization and productivity while maintaining responsible governance.
  • Financial and operational leadership: Own the regional marketing budget and forecast, prioritize investments against revenue and margin goals, and partner with Finance to manage spend with agility and transparency. Reduce low-value work and external dependency while protecting critical growth initiatives.
