Job description

At AstraZeneca we turn ideas into life changing medicines. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. We are committed to leading a revolution in oncology to redefine cancer care and address the unmet needs of patients around the world. We are following the science to understand cancer and all its complexities so that we can discover, develop and deliver life‑changing treatments and increase the potential for cure.

The Oncology business is the fastest growing team within AstraZeneca and across the industry. Through our relentless quest for innovation, we have built one of the most diverse portfolios and pipelines in the industry. We deliver on the promise of our pipeline through launch excellence, commercial efficiency and maximizing the lifecycle.

While remarkable progress has been made in the understanding and treatment of blood cancers, significant unmet needs persist across this diverse and complex group of diseases. These gaps in care continue to impact millions of lives, reinforcing AstraZeneca’s dedication to transforming the haematologic cancer care experience. We strive to lead scientifically in haematology, driven by our dedication to support the 3.6 million people worldwide who were living with blood cancers as of 2020.

AstraZeneca is at a pivotal inflection point in advancing its Haematology portfolio. As the Global Commercial Director, T‑cell Engager Therapies, NHL, you will play a vital role within the Global Haematology Franchise, reporting directly to the Global Commercial Head for T‑cell Engagers. In this strategic position, you will lead the development and execution of global brand plans for T‑cell engager therapies across multiple NHL indications, helping shape the future of haematologic cancer care.

This position offers the opportunity to collaborate closely with key leaders from global country and regional teams. You will also work cross‑functionally with diverse headquarters teams, such as Marketing, Global Analytics & Insights (GA&I), Digital, Pricing and Market Access, Global Medical Affairs (GMA), Regulatory Affairs, R&D, and Product Development. This collaborative environment empowers you to shape and deliver innovative solutions that can transform outcomes for patients worldwide.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead global marketing strategy and brand planning, championing co‑creation with cross‑functional teams, including GPT and IBT.
  • Drive alignment and execution of brand initiatives across all affiliates, ensuring seamless collaboration and endorsement at every level.
  • Shape launch readiness and product success by partnering strategically with Global Medical Affairs (GMA), Global Analytics & Insights (GA&I), Regulatory, Market Access, Finance, and Franchise Heads in G7 markets.
  • Collaborate with affiliates, key regions, and markets to define and implement the optimal Go‑to‑Market model for the global portfolio.
  • Engage GA&I, experts, and community HCPs to generate actionable insights that shape brand strategy and execution.
  • Develop persuasive business cases to support strategic investment decisions and proactively identify growth opportunities that elevate brand performance and long‑term value.
  • Enhance the Brand Excellence Program and integrate marketing capabilities across the organization, providing ongoing performance reports to support improvement and accountability.
  • Facilitate clear communication and knowledge sharing among global, local, and cross‑functional teams to drive effective execution.
  • Lead the design and execution of omnichannel digital marketing strategies, ensuring consistent brand engagement across all customer touchpoints.
  • Define and manage marketing budgets and resources to achieve objectives and support launch preparation with sustained internal engagement.
  • Maintain awareness of industry trends and best practices, identifying innovative marketing opportunities while ensuring brand consistency and integrity in all communications.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, such as business or life sciences.
  • 10+ years of experience in pharmaceutical development and commercialization.
  • Haematology expertise required; strong knowledge of T‑cell therapies—including T‑cell Engagers, CAR‑T, or BTK inhibitors (BTKIs)—considered highly advantageous.
  • Disease area experience in at least one of the following : DLBCL, FL, MCL, CLL, ALL, or MM.
  • Extensive global commercial experience, including pre‑launch and launch phases.
  • In‑market commercial experience required; expertise within the US market regarded as a significant advantage.
  • Proven capability to connect and establish significant relationships with important collaborators throughout the healthcare ecosystem—such as patients, prescribers, payers, and providers—based on profound collaborator understanding.
  • Data‑driven strategy development showcased through effective utilization of data and market intelligence.
  • Proven expertise in crafting compelling business cases that influence strategic decision‑making and accelerate growth.
  • Visionary leader with a demonstrated talent for navigating ambiguity, encouraging high‑performing teams, and communicating with clarity—reliably achieving groundbreaking outcomes.
  • Desirable attributes

  • MBA or advanced degree in a related field
  • Market Access experience
  • R&D background or strong understanding of drug development requirements
  • Direct FDA interaction and regulatory expertise
  • Successful launch experience in G5 markets, with emphasis on the US
  • Advanced knowledge of T‑cell therapies
  • Strong clinical acumen and evidence‑based mindset
  • This position is based at our Gaithersburg, MD campus. When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life‑changing medicines. In‑person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn’t mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world!

    AstraZeneca offers an environment where innovation thrives. With access to industry‑leading research, technology, and pipeline product launches across every region, you’ll have the opportunity to build an exciting career.
