Global Marketing Director, Oncology

• Contribute to and evolve elements of the global brand and launch plan, translating the overarching brand strategy set with the Senior Director into actionable marketing programs and timelines.
• Co-lead the development of core global campaign materials — positioning, messaging architecture, HCP and patient-facing content, sales aids, and digital assets — ensuring scientific accuracy, medical/legal/regulatory (MLR) compliance, and consistency of brand voice.
• In partnership with the Strategy & Operations director, build and maintain the global launch readiness plan and toolkit, ensuring affiliates have the strategic rationale, materials, and training support needed for local adaptation and execution.

• Manage the commercial dimension of interactions with Key External Experts (KEEs), including planning and running the Commercial Strategic Council (or equivalent advisory forum) to pressure-test brand strategy, messaging, and launch readiness.
• Build and maintain a network of relevant oncology/GIST KEEs, ensuring compliant, well-documented, and strategically purposeful engagement aligned with Medical Affairs activities.
• Synthesize KEE and advisory board input into actionable recommendations for brand strategy, campaign development, and affiliate guidance.

• Serve as the primary Global Marketing point of contact for key affiliates (US, EU5, Japan, China + regions) on brand strategy, campaign materials, and launch execution — balancing global consistency with local market needs.
• Drive affiliate engagement strategy and input into affiliate operational planning
• Partner closely with US colleagues in particular, leveraging (or building) deep understanding of US oncology launch dynamics, given the market's outsized commercial and precedent-setting importance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Medical Affairs, Market Access/Pricing, Regulatory, Global Insights & Analytics, and Commercial Operations to ensure integrated, launch-ready plans.
• Drive culture of trust, respect, transparency, and accountability.

• Manage relevant agency relationships (creative, medical education, market research) to ensure high-quality, on-time, on-budget deliverables.
• Track and report on launch KPIs and readiness milestones, proactively flagging risks and proposing mitigations
• Partner with Insights to deliver Global Forecast aligned to strategy, generating recommended assumptions and strategic inputs
• Elucidate required SG&A and commercial model to optimise asset performance in Global markets
• Contribute to budget planning and resource allocation for assigned workstreams.

• Internal: Senior Director Global Marketing (manager), VP MCL, Director of Strategy & Operations, Global Medical Affairs, Global Market Access, Regulatory Affairs, Global Insights & Analytics
• External: KEEs and advisory boards (via the Commercial Strategic Council and related forums), creative/media/market research agencies
• Affiliates: US, EU5, Japan, China and regional marketing and cross-functional teams

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or advanced scientific/business degree preferred.
• 5 years of Marketing experience with at least one global launch is required — this does not need to be launch-leadership experience, but candidates should have played a substantive role on at least one oncology (ideally rare/specialty tumor) launch team, with exposure to the full pre-launch-to-launch lifecycle.
• Experience engaging external experts/KEEs in a commercial capacity (advisory boards, steering committees, congress engagement) is highly valued.
• Preferably 8–10+ years of relevant pharmaceutical/biotech marketing experience, including meaningful time in oncology and multiple launch es .

• Global or international marketing experience, including working with or through affiliates, is a strong plus.
• Prior US pharmaceutical marketing or launch experience strongly preferred.

• High degree of self-direction: comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-functional workstreams without close supervision or a supporting team.
• Strong strategic thinking paired with hands-on executional rigor — equally comfortable shaping positioning and building campaign materials.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with credibility to engage senior leaders, external experts, and affiliate teams as a peer.
• Strong analytical and insight-synthesis capabilities; able to translate data and expert input into clear commercial recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort presenting to senior governance forums.
• Understanding of specialty oncology treatment landscapes is a plus, though not required.

• A launch-ready brand strategy and materials suite delivered on time for the launch window.
• A well-functioning Commercial Strategic Council providing consistent, high-quality strategic input from KEEs.
• Strong alignment and satisfaction from US, EU5, Japan, and China affiliates on global materials, tools, and support.
