Your position involves extensive collaboration with leaders from internal and external development and commercial teams to design and implement a comprehensive strategy. Additionally, you will represent the GPT(s) and the company as a business and scientific leader in Alliance governance and other relevant external meetings. 

Key responsibilities include establishing a program vision and strategy, proactively shaping the external environment to defend and improve the company's position, and anticipating internal and external drivers of change to program strategy. You will ensure alignment across global functions and regions, lead collaboration to implement agreed plans, and serve as the primary internal communication contact for assigned program(s). Additionally, you will manage program budget decisions, build and lead high-performing cross-functional teams, and provide strong enterprise leadership. The ideal candidate will have an advanced degree in a relevant scientific discipline, significant experience in global drug development, and demonstrated success in influencing and interacting cross-functionally in a matrix environment. Strong business acumen, leadership skills, and the ability to navigate uncertainty are essential for this role.

  • Experience with global or regional launches, as well as marketed products, is highly valued. Strong knowledge in the relevant therapeutic area is preferred, along with a proven track record of influencing and collaborating cross-functionally within a matrix environment.
  • You should be a business-savvy executive with mature leadership capabilities, adept in decision-making, conflict resolution, and influencing others.
  • Your entrepreneurial drive will be recognized, and you will have the ability to represent the company effectively and negotiate at all levels, both internally and externally, across key geographies. Outstanding interpersonal skills are critical for constructive interaction with all functions within a global matrix organization, including partnerships with external organizations.
  • A strong strategic thinker and enterprise leader, capable of exercising sound judgment in uncertain situations or when faced with incomplete or ambiguous data.
