Position Description

Like Building Things?

A start-up biopharma organization is building their marketing team and needs a Product Manager / Senior Product Manager to help lead the launch of their first commercial brand. This dynamic, four-year old company has tripled in size in the past year and has three high-potential products in clinical development, including one in mid Phase III. If you have a strategic orientation and enjoy a creative challenge, this could be the opportunity for you. With a business model based on developing novel pharmaceuticals for critical, unmet medical needs, it is an exciting culture where their teams have unusually strong personal chemistry. And the dynamic nature of a start-up environment means that everyone is pitching in and working hard to get the organization to the next level. They now need an entrepreneurial, strategic thinker to help ensure a successful launch.

The Role:
In this newly created position you will have the opportunity to develop and implement the U.S. launch plan for a first-in-class product in the Neuroscience market. Your group will be responsible for all elements of the marketing mix and life-cycle planning. Specific duties include setting strategies and tactics, budgeting, forecasting and promotional planning. As the manager for their first product launch you will be responsible for the positioning and branding strategy, managing agency partners, monitoring competitive activity and even helping with website development. Working in a relatively small group your day today responsibilities will vary considerably, and you will be asked to “wear many hats.”

You will also have the opportunity to develop the Key Opinion Leader strategy and Speaker’s Bureau, and to plan the Advisory Boards. You will work closely on cross-functional teams with colleagues from Sales, Medical Affairs, Regulatory and Medical-Legal, and you will be asked to develop and track success metrics for the launch team. This is a high profile, creative role where you will interact on a routine basis with Senior Management. And our rapidly expanding organization means there are significant opportunities for career development and advancement. Overnight travel is estimated at 20-25%.

Requirements Needed to be Successful:
The successful candidate will have the following qualities:
· 4+ years of pharmaceutical or biotech industry experience
· 2+ years in a Product Management or Marketing function within the industry
· Strong analytical skills and leadership abilities within cross-functional teams
· Pharmaceutical product launch experience is preferred (whether in sales or marketing), as is experience in the neurology market

The compensation plan includes an extremely competitive base salary plus incentive-plan bonus, and an opportunity for stock options. This is an entrepreneurial opportunity with a high-growth company that prides itself on the unique, differentiated qualities of our product offerings. If you would like to help this organization grow, and if your background and qualifications meet these specifications, we would like to meet you.

Salary $80,000 – $115,000
Bonus 10%
Other Compensation Stock Options
