About the Role:

We're looking for a Sr. Director, Therapeutic Area Insights – Neuro & Other Rare on the Commercial Effectiveness team to help us expand what's possible for patients with serious and rare diseases. Reporting to the Executive Director, Global Forecasting, Insights & Analytics, you'll lead the strategy, design, and implementation of forecasting, insights, and analytics plans for a growing therapeutic area portfolio — including gene therapies and other modalities across Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and Stargardt Disease. As a key advisor to Therapeutic Area (TA) leadership and Global Program Teams (GPTs), you'll shape program strategies, help to develop robust revenue forecasts, and enable data-informed decision-making across go-to-market models and competitive strategy.

What You'll Do:

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to serve as the primary insights and analytics advisor to Therapeutic Area leadership, guiding and influencing data-driven decisions across the portfolio and Global Program Teams.

You'll also:

• Proactively identify and anticipate key business questions to inform projects that deliver actionable insights through close collaboration across the TA and GPTs

• Design and execute strategic research plans to address key business questions, inform strategy development, and support portfolio planning

• Lead end-to-end research projects — defining objectives, overseeing execution, interpreting results, and communicating findings with clarity to cross-functional stakeholders and senior leadership

• Select and manage external vendors across market research, competitive intelligence, analytics, and forecasting, including scoping, RFP processes, methodology approval, and budget oversight

• Lead long-range forecasting efforts by guiding the development of demand and sales driver models, quantifying key scenarios and sensitivities, and partnering with TA and GPT leadership to define critical assumptions

• Translate complex data into compelling strategic narratives that drive decision-making and ensure cross-functional alignment

• Continuously adapt insights and analytics capabilities using state-of-the-art methodologies to meet evolving TA and GPT needs

• Help to build and mentor a high-performing, cohesive team with deep expertise in forecasting, analytics, and market research over time

• Partner with regional colleagues in EMEA and Japan to ensure a coordinated and consistent TA insights and analytics approach across regions

 

Who You Are

You have a Bachelor's degree in business, marketing, statistics, or a related field (advanced degree preferred), along with 10+ years of progressive experience in strategic consulting, market research, or business development in the biopharmaceutical industry.

You are a strategic and engaging thought-partner who can navigate between granular details and disease area strategy, and you also have:

• Experience with and deep understanding of one-time/specialized in vivo or ex vivo therapies administered in treatment centers (e.g., gene therapies, gene editing, cell therapies)

• Proven leadership skills with the ability to select, develop, and mentor high-performing teams

• Expertise in transforming complex data into compelling strategic narratives for leadership

• An inquisitive nature with the ability to dig deep into insights, identify the "why" behind data and trends, and synthesize findings into clear and concise outputs

• High proficiency in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)

• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail, clarity, accuracy, and conciseness

Nice to have (but not required):

• Familiarity with global insights and analytics approaches across EMEA and/or Japan markets
