- Deliver actionable competitive insights that influence executive decision-making.
- Drive competitive readiness, scenario planning, and strategic response planning.
- Partner cross-functionally with Commercial, Medical Affairs, R&D, Market Access, Forecasting, and other senior leaders.
- Lead intelligence planning for key medical congresses and industry events.
- Build and enhance CI processes, frameworks, and AI-enabled capabilities.
- Manage external CI partners and develop a high-performing team.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience.
- Deep Competitive Intelligence experience within biotech or pharma.
- U.S. product launch experience required; global experience preferred.
- Strong executive presence with the ability to influence without authority.
- Experience supporting products across development, launch, and commercialization.
- Rare disease and/or specialty market experience is highly preferred.
- Experience building teams, processes, and scalable CI capabilities.
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred.
Why This Role
- Highly visible leadership position with direct executive exposure.
- Opportunity to shape the future of a growing biotech organization.
- Strategic, enterprise-wide impact; not just reporting on competitors.
- Collaborative, cross-functional environment where your insights directly influence business decisions.
- Competitive compensation, bonus, equity, and outstanding benefits.
