• Support campaign and program performance analysis, translating key performance indicators and market response into practical learning and next-step recommendations.
• Collaborate across Sales, Innovation, Product Management, Science, Market & Consumer Insights, and Regional Marketing to integrate diverse inputs and strengthen customer and commercial outcomes.
• Demonstrate initiative and end-to-end ownership by moving work from ambiguity to a clear plan, high-quality deliverable, and actionable recommendation.
• Own commercialization and launch support for select North America Health Sciences initiatives, including positioning, messaging, customer activation tools, sales enablement materials, and market-readiness planning.
• Serve as strategic marketing lead for assigned category growth platforms, identifying trends, opportunity spaces, customer needs, and commercial recommendations.

• Strong PowerPoint and presentation development skills, with a clear interest in building persuasive, audience-relevant stories.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complexity without losing strategic meaning.
• Self-directed problem solving, strong initiative, and comfort operating in an environment where the path may not be fully defined.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, including research, synthesis, writing, presentation building, planning, and follow-through.
• Ability to build productive cross-functional relationships and present recommendations with growing confidence to internal and customer stakeholders.

• Experience supporting customer presentations, strategic workshops, commercial teams, or go-to-market initiatives.
