Responsibilities:In the challenging pharmaceutical environment there is little time for on the job training. Marketing professionals building and implementing product launch plans must have experience of the business intelligence skills to develop insight that will drive real competitive advantage.They must be able to craft inspirational strategic plans around this insight, understand the limits of their own organisation and be able to leverage their knowledge of vendors to bridge these gaps. To achieve this they must be capable of leading cross functional teams in a matrix environment to set achievable KPIs based on SMART objectives and drive the business to achieve these objectives. Outside the organisation they must demonstrate flare in dealing with multiple stakeholders from MPs to Patient organisations to leverage their support for the launch brands. All of the above must be implemented in the toughest of compliance environments (working with Zinc & Vault Promomat systems) requiring meticulous project planning to ensure delivery targets are met.
