Job description

We are #Hiring | International Marketing Director

Dubai, UAE | Full-time | International Pharmaceutical Marketing

What if your next marketing role gave you the opportunity to build the strategy, launch new products across multiple countries, and then go into the markets to make sure it actually happens?

We’re supporting a major international pharmaceutical business to appoint a Marketing Director in Dubai, responsible for driving growth across markets in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, and other emerging markets.

This is a newly created role with significant autonomy and exposure to senior leadership. Rather than inheriting a centrally developed strategy, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the international marketing agenda yourself and take new products from pipeline through to commercial launch.

You’ll be at the centre of the action:

• Lead international launches and go-to-market strategies across multiple countries
• Support new market entry and identify opportunities for portfolio expansion
• Build market-specific strategies and work closely with local teams to drive execution
• Improve the performance of established brands and share best practices across markets
• Spend significant time in-market, with approximately 50% international travel

For someone coming from a larger pharmaceutical organisation, this is an opportunity to have far greater ownership of the full strategy-to-execution journey, working in a lean, entrepreneurial international environment where you can directly influence how the portfolio grows.

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of strong prescription pharmaceutical marketing experience, ideally across multiple markets
• Proven experience launching new products and developing go-to-market strategies
• Strong strategic capability combined with a genuinely hands-on, entrepreneurial approach
• Open to being based in Dubai and travelling internationally approximately 50% of the time
