About the Role
This role will lead commercial strategy development across Bayer’s Cardiovascular (CV) pipeline, supporting early-, mid-, and late-stage assets.

- Inform key governance decisions through robust commercial assessments, including indication prioritization, lifecycle strategy, portfolio trade-offs, and investment decisions.
- Support development of launch strategies and launch readiness plans, including market shaping, stakeholder engagement, access strategy, and organizational preparedness.
- Drive portfolio prioritization discussions by evaluating commercial attractiveness, strategic fit, competitive intensity, and execution feasibility.
Requirements
- Advanced degree such as MBA, MPH, PharmD, PhD, MD, or other relevant graduate degree.
- Robust prior experience in a leading strategy consulting firm serving pharmaceutical or biotechnology clients, ideally combined with subsequent operating experience in biopharma and/or comparable significant experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry in commercial strategy, new product planning, pipeline strategy, portfolio strategy, marketing.
- Background in CV new product planning, global marketing, or portfolio management with exposure to both US and other key global markets.
- Experience supporting or leading pre-launch and launch readiness for CV products.
- Strong understanding of drug development, commercialization planning, launch strategy, and market access.
- Proven ability to operate effectively in complex, matrixed organizations with global and cross-regional stakeholders.
- Excellent strategic, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities.
- Outstanding communication, executive presence, stakeholder management, and leadership skills, including leading teams and influencing senior stakeholders.
