- Design and implement promotional programs and tactics across multiple channels, ensuring alignment with brand strategy and regulatory compliance.
- Develop HCP- and patient-centric solutions informed by deep market insights and unmet needs.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Medical Affairs, Market Access, Regulatory, Legal, Compliance, and external agencies.
- Leverage insights from Commercial Analysis and Market Research to inform strategic decisions and optimize marketing initiatives.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders, including hematologists, nurses, pharmacists, and professional societies.
- Stay current on the hematology, oncology and transplant landscape, competitive dynamics, and evolving treatment paradigms.
- Manage brand budgets effectively and ensure optimal resource allocation.
- Promote knowledge sharing and alignment across internal teams to ensure consistency and excellence.

Qualifications and requirements
- Minimum 7 years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology marketing, including product launch experience.
- Proven ability to develop and execute multi-channel marketing strategies.
- Experience managing external vendors and promotional budgets.
- Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and project management skills.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and analytical capabilities.
- Experience in hematology or specialty pharmaceuticals is strongly preferred.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, matrixed environment and work both independently and collaboratively.

Field Engagement - A Strategic Priority
To ensure a deep understanding of the stem cell transplantation ecosystem and to build trusted relationships with key stakeholders, the Hematology Brand Lead is expected to spend approximately 30% of their time in the field during the first two years.

This field engagement is essential to gain firsthand insights into the clinical and operational realities of transplant centers and build credibility with key opinion leaders and institutional partners. This commitment will be instrumental in shaping a successful launch and establishing a strong foundation for long-term brand success.
