About the Role

Lead the development of science-forward narratives that connect Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Biosciences Division portfolio to high-priority applications, modalities, workflows, and customer challenges in life sciences research. This role sits at the intersection of integrated marketing, business unit strategy, scientific content, portfolio marketing, and customer engagement, building compelling, evidence-based stories that span multiple business units.

Translate complex scientific, technical, and portfolio information into cohesive stories for campaigns, content, web, events, sales enablement, thought leadership, and commercial programs.
Serve as a divisional connector and cross-company storytelling partner, identifying synergies across business units and helping teams move from product-centric messaging to integrated, science-led narratives.
Partner with business unit marketing, portfolio marketing, integrated marketing, commercial, R&D, application science, and external agency teams to align on audience needs, claims, evidence, content priorities, and activation opportunities.
Use customer, market, competitive, and portfolio insights to shape storytelling priorities and ensure narratives are relevant, differentiated, and commercially meaningful.
Assess existing content, claims, scientific evidence, and portfolio assets to identify gaps, duplication, and opportunities to strengthen campaign readiness.
Create repeatable tools, templates, and processes that enable marketing teams to build and activate cross-portfolio stories consistently.
Support pilot activation plans, including content recommendations, channel considerations, commercial enablement needs, and success metrics.
Influence stakeholders across a matrixed organization, driving alignment, clarity, and momentum around priority application and modality stories.
