Your mission

We are shaping the medicine of tomorrow - and expanding our therapeutic focus from women’s health into neurology.

• Neurology (≈50%): Build the medical function, external presence, and development footprint in DACH - from strategy to execution. Contribute with new developments in the field.
• Women’s Health (≈50%): Lead, scale, and further professionalize a high-performing Medical Affairs organization in a market-leading franchise.

Why us?

The Opportunity
This is a unique dual-impact leadership role combining:

• The opportunity to build and shape a Neurology/CNS franchise from the ground up, and
• The responsibility to further strengthen and scale a market-leading Women’s Health business.

In Neurology, you will work in a true greenfield environment: defining the medical strategy, building the external footprint, establishing the KOL and center network, and shaping the entire scientific positioning in close collaboration with Global Medical and R&D.
In Women’s Health, you will lead and grow an established, successful Medical organization, further increasing scientific impact, quality of execution, and cross-functional influence in a category where the company already holds a leading market position.
This role is for a hands-on builder who wants to create visible, lasting impact - not just manage existing structures.

Why This Role Is Special

• You will build a Neurology/CNS franchise, not inherit one
• You will leave a personal footprint in a new therapy area
• You will shape strategy and execute it yourself
• You will lead in a company that is already a leader in Women’s Health and help take it to the next level
