The opportunity

This is a broad marketing role with two distinct areas of ownership: full product management for the UK and Ireland Mechanical Stapling portfolio, and cross-portfolio specialty strategy for Colorectal and Bariatric surgery. You will combine insight-led strategy with hands-on execution, shaping how we grow established brands, launch innovation and partner with surgical communities to address meaningful clinical and system needs.

You will work across commercial, clinical, medical, market access and professional education teams, with strong exposure to UK and Ireland leadership and regional and global marketing colleagues. The role offers genuine ownership, variety and the opportunity to influence both portfolio performance and the future of two important surgical specialties.

Your remit

• Mechanical Stapling portfolio: own the end-to-end product strategy and lifecycle, including market insight, brand planning, positioning, launches, forecasting, pricing, tender strategy, inventory planning, education and commercial performance.
• Colorectal and Bariatric strategy: lead cross-portfolio specialty plans based on customer and patient needs, bringing together the relevant products, evidence, education, partnerships and market-shaping activity across Johnson & Johnson MedTech.

What you will do

·         Build and deliver the UK Mechanical Stapling strategy, translating customer, market and competitor insight into clear growth priorities and measurable plans.

·         Own the Mechanical Stapling product lifecycle, including positioning, segmentation, value propositions, launch readiness, portfolio optimisation and end-of-life planning.

·         Lead integrated Colorectal and Bariatric specialty strategies across the relevant Johnson & Johnson MedTech portfolio, ensuring plans reflect the distinct needs of each surgical community.

·         Develop strong relationships with colorectal and bariatric surgeons, clinical teams, professional societies and other external stakeholders to identify unmet needs, strengthen advocacy and shape market development.

·         Lead local new product introductions using Launch Excellence principles, from insight generation and business planning through field readiness, adoption and post-launch optimisation.

·         Partner with Sales, Commercial Education, Medical Affairs, Market Access, Strategic Capabilities and regional and global teams to align priorities and deliver consistently in market.

·         Own forecasting, inventory planning, pricing, tender strategy and discretionary marketing budgets, using data to manage performance, risk and return on investment.

·         Create focused omnichannel campaigns, education and customer solutions that translate clinical and economic value into practical tools for the field and meaningful engagement for customers.

·         Track portfolio and specialty performance, gather market intelligence and adjust plans quickly to deliver profitable, above-market growth.

·         Influence and enable the sales organisation through clear strategy, high-quality training, field engagement and effective indirect leadership.

What you will bring

• Experience in product, portfolio, specialty or st
• rategic marketing. Experience within medical devices, healthcare or another regulated environment would be advantageous but is not essential where you can demonstrate relevant commercial and product-management capability.
• A strong record of turning customer and market insight into clear strategy and effective commercial execution.
• Experience of product lifecycle management and new product launches; exposure to pricing, tenders, forecasting or inventory planning is highly valuable.
• Commercial judgement and confidence using market, customer and performance data to prioritise investment and make decisions.
• The ability to build credibility with clinical and commercial stakeholders and influence across functions without direct authority.
• Strong communication, project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage several priorities at pace.
• Curiosity, learning agility and the motivation to build deep knowledge of Mechanical Stapling and the Colorectal and Bariatric surgical pathways.
• A collaborative, inclusive approach and a high standard of integrity and compliance.

Who you will work with
