The Company is seeking an Executive Director of New Product Planning to assess new product opportunities and shape commercial strategies for follow-on indications. The role leads planning from early ideation through handoff to launch teams, including developing product profiles, market assessments, market development and data-generation strategies, and initial value propositions. The Executive Director will guide cross-functional teams on development decisions, market needs, competitive positioning, reimbursement considerations, and business priorities. Responsibilities also include directing prelaunch market research and stakeholder engagement, communicating indication strategies, monitoring disease and market dynamics, and managing the planning team and its budget. Candidates should have a bachelor’s degree; an MBA or other relevant graduate degree is preferred. At least 15 years of experience in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals is required, including experience in commercial development or new product planning, marketing, forecasting and data analysis, product management, market development, product launches, market access, and pricing.
