This role offers a rare opportunity to combine   strategic ownership and commercial leadership   across both   Sales and Marketing   within a highly dynamic biotech environment.

We are open to profiles already operating at Franchise Head level, but we are equally interested in outstanding commercial leaders who have built strong experience across sales and marketing and are now ready to step into broader business ownership.

Deliver impactful launch, growth, and lifecycle strategies in specialist markets
Partner closely with Medical, Market Access, and other key functions to ensure strong execution and alignment
Navigate complexity across stakeholders, treatment pathways, and market dynamics
Act as a true business leader in a lean organization where speed, accountability, and adaptability are critical

Candidate profile
Solid experience in pharma or biotech, ideally in   specialty care or other highly innovative therapeutic areas
Strong track record in commercial roles with exposure to both   sales leadership and strategic marketing
Ability to think strategically while remaining close to execution
High level of ownership, accountability, and decision-making maturity
Natural leadership style with the credibility to influence cross-functionally and externally
Comfortable operating in entrepreneurial, high-growth, and less structured environments

This is an outstanding opportunity for a commercially ambitious leader seeking broader scope, greater impact, and the chance to shape the future of an innovative franchise.
