About the Job

We are an innovative global healthcare company, committed to transforming the lives of people with immune challenges, rare diseases and blood disorders, cancers, and neurological disorders. From R&D to sales, our talented teams work together, revolutionizing treatment, continually improving products, understanding unmet needs, and connecting communities. We chase the miracles of science every single day, pursuing progress to make a real impact on millions of patients around the world.

We are on an ambitious journey to become the world’s leading immunology biopharma. The second chapter of our Play to Win journey focuses on modernizing our Specialty Care operations in Canada with a keen sense of urgency and preparing for our exciting pipeline.

Reporting to Head of New Products Launch Specialty Care, this position is responsible for the preparation and execution of commercial market development and launch in Canada of new assets in neurology and rare disease (short-term) and may include other therapeutic areas in the future.

Main Responsibilities:

• Identify critical success factors for launch and develop relevant engagement plans with tactics; drive implementation of the plan and monitor execution.

• Generate key insights and develop strategic recommendations to advance market recognition along with measuring key performance indicators.

• Align with Market Access & Public Affairs teams responsible for conducting payer market research and developing pricing models using competitive data and relevant analogs to recommend pricing options and strategies.

• Partner with Market Access and GTMC Insight & Analytics teams to evaluate market trends and develop sensitivity models to maximize product access based on optimal price points.

• Partner with global marketers and agencies to develop branded and unbranded campaigns and assets with a best-in-class omnichannel approach, underpinned by market analysis and competitive benchmarking to drive ROI.

• Partner with and influence cross-functional stakeholders such as medical, market access, go-to-market capability (GTMC), to prepare the market for upcoming launches.

• Work in conjunction with global teams and align with the global marketing and launch strategies, ensuring that Canada is well represented.

• Manage any related budgets, financial forecasts (in partnership with Finance and GTMC), and investment proposals needed.

About You:

• Commercial and Business Acumen:Strong track record in the pharma/biopharma industry driving commercial success, including both marketing and sales experience, and launching new products. Ability to work in fast paced environments and manage multiple products simultaneously.
