Head of Internal Communications

Hybrid / Full Time / Wayne, PA

Every role here contributes to that mission — and as Director, Corporate Communications, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how Novocure communicates the value, science, and impact of our therapies to patients, healthcare professionals, media, and other key stakeholders. This is a highly visible position that sits at the intersection of communications, marketing, medical affairs, and business strategy.

We are seeking an experienced communications leader to drive U.Product Communications across Novocure’s oncology portfolio, including Optune Gio®, Optune Lua®, and future growth opportunities. This role will serve as the communications partner to US commercial and medical teams, developing and executing strategic programs that support product awareness, scientific data communications, media engagement, advocacy initiatives, and key business milestones.

This is not a traditional corporate communications role. We are looking for someone with deep product communications experience in a regulated healthcare environment who can quickly become a trusted advisor to cross-functional teams and operate independently in a fast-paced, high-impact setting. The ideal candidate has experience supporting marketed or late-stage products, translating complex scientific information into compelling narratives, and driving communications strategies that align with broader business objectives.
