In this pivotal role, you will:
  • Partner closely with the Global Brand Lead to develop and evolve the global brand strategy, including brand positioning, messaging frameworks, digital engagement platforms, and campaign architecture.
  • Translate global brand strategy into actionable toolkits - such as messaging guides, launch playbooks, and best practice libraries - to enable effective regional and local execution
  • Ensure effective two-way knowledge transfer between global and local teams, disseminating global strategy while integrating local insights and on-the-ground perspectives.
  • Lead and oversee global congress strategy and execution, and provide strategic guidance to regional and local congress planning.
  • Develop a deep scientific understanding of the disease area, mechanism of action, clinical data, and competitive landscape to shape compelling and credible brand narratives.
  • Provide strategic input and leadership within the Global Brand Team and broader cross-functional governance structures.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners including Medical Affairs, Market Access, HEOR, Commercial Operations, and Regulatory Affairs to ensure aligned and compliant execution.
  • Proactively identify strategic opportunities, design initiatives to address them, and drive excellence in implementation.
  • Manage agencies, vendors, and project budgets to deliver high-quality, timely outputs.
