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.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
