Executive Director, Global Product Strategy

Built on a strong scientific, technological, and clinical foundation, we are building a commercial organization to launch and drive revenue for our oncology portfolio. As Executive Director, you will lead the Global Product Strategy team for BNT324, our B7-H3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate in development for prostate cancer and other solid tumors, and for our mRNA-based candidates across multiple cancer types.

You will bring a patient-centered, externally focused approach, partnering with oncology clinicians to understand their needs and those of their patients. You will turn those insights into clinical development programs designed for both regulatory and commercial success, and you will apply your launch experience to build innovative launch plans. As a senior leader on the global commercial team, you will shape performance across major markets in the US, EU, and Asia, with visibility at all levels of the organization.

Your contribution:

• Set the global product strategy for BNT324 and the mRNA portfolio, from development through launch and lifecycle management.
• Lead development of GU therapeutic area product strategies across all late-stage assets.
• Partner with R&D, Regulatory, and Medical Affairs to shape clinical programs around unmet patient and clinician needs, and around regulatory and commercial requirements.
• Develop global brand positioning, differentiation, and scientific messaging, and align medical and market access strategy behind them.
• Use deep insight into providers, KOLs, patients, and payers to guide go-to-market approaches that change customer behavior and drive market performance.
• Monitor market, customer, and competitor trends (including the evolving ADC, immunotherapy, and mRNA landscapes) and build them into development and commercialization plans.
• Influence and align country commercial teams from a global position to ensure consistent, effective execution.
• Where BioNTech has co-commercialization or co-promotion rights, ensure alignment with partners on global brand strategy and resources.
• Lead, coach, and mentor tumor team members to drive performance and business objectives.
• Provide strategic direction to cross-functional partners (Insights & Analytics, R&D, Regulatory, Sales, Finance, Medical Affairs).
• Own budget planning and tracking, and manage vendor partnerships so work is delivered on plan, cost-effectively, and within budget.

A good match:

• BS/BA with 12+ years in pharma or biotech and increasing levels of responsibility.  Advanced degree a plus.
• Experience in both country/affiliate leadership and regional or global roles.
• Oncology experience, including immunotherapy; knowledge of ADCs, mRNA, or genitourinary/prostate cancer is a strong plus.
• Significant experience launching products in both national and international markets.
• Working knowledge of global regulatory, reimbursement, and healthcare system dynamics.
• Proven ability to influence R&D and country teams and to lead through alignment.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and collaboration skills.

Your benefits and remuneration:

Expected Pay Range:  $221,700/year to $354,700/year + benefits, annual bonus & equity (bonus and equity is variable and dependent on company and individual performance). Compensation for the role will depend on several factors, including responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
