The Director, Market Insights & Analytics, U.S. Portfolio & Launch Readiness supports U.S. market insights, forecast transition, strategic planning, and launch-readiness analytics for assets approaching commercialization. The role serves as the U.S. commercial bridge between global early-stage forecasting and U.S. launch planning, ensuring assets within approximately two years of expected U.S. launch have clear, pressure-tested assumptions, planning timelines, market context, analytics requirements, and source-of-truth outputs. This role partners closely with Global Forecasting, U.S. Commercial, Market Insights & Forecasting, Commercial Analytics, Reporting & Decision Support, Finance, Market Access, Medical, Data/Technology, BIS, and other cross-functional stakeholders to translate global forecast inputs into U.S.-specific commercial assumptions, strategic planning materials, launch-readiness reporting requirements, and executive-ready decision support. The Director reports into Market Insights & Forecasting and has dotted-line accountability to Analytics & Decision Support for dashboard requirements, reporting automation, data structure, and analytical production standards. The role ensures near-launch assets are incorporated into U.S. strategic planning, forecast governance, executive reporting, and future-state commercial intelligence capabilities without duplicating early-stage global forecasting ownership. This is an individual contributor role that leads through influence across global and U.S. stakeholders, with no direct people-management responsibility. Key Responsibilities Lead U.S. forecast transition and launch-readiness planning for assets approaching commercialization, with emphasis on products expected to enter U.S. commercial planning windows within approximately two years of launch. Partner with global forecasting teams to understand early-stage forecast assumptions, market models, epidemiology, patient flow, competitive context, evidence expectations, and key uncertainties. Translate global forecast inputs into U.S.-specific commercial planning assumptions, including market size, patient opportunity, treatment flow, adoption drivers, access considerations, competitive dynamics, launch timing, and scenario ranges. Support the Senior Director, Market Insights & Forecasting in developing U.S. forecast assumptions, strategic planning inputs, scenario framing, launch-readiness narratives, risk and opportunity assessments, and senior leadership materials. Coordinate U.S. strategic planning timelines, deliverables, assumption-gathering processes, cross-functional inputs, review meetings, and consolidated planning materials for near-launch assets. Develop and maintain structured handoff processes between global early-stage forecasting and U.S. commercial planning to ensure clear ownership, assumption traceability, documentation, and decision rights. Partner with the Director, Analytics & Decision Support to develop launch-readiness dashboards, planning trackers, forecast comparison views, assumption logs, milestone trackers, and source-of-truth reporting outputs. Partner with Data/Technology, BIS, Finance, and analytics stakeholders to define reporting requirements, support automation of recurring launch-readiness views, integrate planning inputs, and create scalable reporting structures for assets moving toward commercialization. Synthesize primary research, secondary data, competitive intelligence, global assumptions, market access inputs, Medical perspective, and U.S. commercial feedback into clear planning implications and recommended actions. Support executive-ready materials for strategic planning, launch planning, investment prioritization, forecast reviews, business updates, and cross-functional leadership discussions. Track key external and internal signals that may affect U.S. commercialization assumptions, including clinical readouts, regulatory milestones, guideline updates, competitive events, access dynamics, customer feedback, and market structure changes. Ensure launch-readiness forecasting, planning, and reporting activities comply with applicable privacy, legal, regulatory, procurement, finance, and pharmaceutical industry requirements. People Leadership Scope Serve as an individual contributor and cross-functional leader across Market Insights & Forecasting, Commercial Analytics, Reporting & Decision Support, Global Product Strategy, U.S. Commercial, Finance, Market Access, Medical, BIS, and Data/Technology. Provide planning discipline, operating cadence, documentation standards, and cross-functional coordination for U.S. launch-readiness forecasting and strategic planning activities. Lead through influence across matrixed partners, global teams, vendors, analytics resources, and U.S. stakeholders to deliver high-quality forecast transition, planning, and reporting outputs. Build cross-coverage between forecasting and analytics by ensuring near-launch forecast assumptions are translated into clear dashboard requirements, scalable reporting structures, and executive-ready performance views. Support continuity across strategic planning cycles by maintaining assumption logs, planning calendars, launch-readiness trackers, scenario documentation, and decision-support materials. Influence stakeholders through structured problem solving, commercial judgment, analytical credibility, executive communication, and disciplined follow-through. Qualifications and Education Bachelor’s degree in business, scientific, quantitative, technical, or related discipline required; advanced degree preferred. 8 to 10+ years of pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience with expertise in forecasting, market insights, commercial analytics, strategic planning, launch planning, pipeline transition, or decision support. Demonstrated experience translating forecast assumptions, market research, competitive intelligence, clinical or regulatory milestones, and commercial inputs into clear business implications and planning recommendations. Strong understanding of pharmaceutical commercialization planning, including patient flow, epidemiology, market sizing, forecast assumptions, scenario planning, access considerations, competitive dynamics, and launch-readiness planning. Experience supporting strategic planning, long-range planning, launch planning, forecast reviews, or cross-functional commercial planning processes. Strong analytical capability, including experience with forecast models, dashboard requirements, data visualization, Excel, PowerPoint, and business intelligence tools such as Power BI. Experience and extensive knowledge of medical and pharmacy claims data and longitudinal patient data (e.g., IQVIA LAAD and NPA) Ability to partner across global and U.S. teams, clarify decision rights, document assumptions, manage planning timelines, and translate early forecast inputs into U.S. commercial planning outputs. Experience with pharmaceutical data sources such as claims, specialty pharmacy data, syndicated data, market research outputs, patient-level or longitudinal data, internal finance or demand data, and public-company disclosures preferred. Demonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous, cross-functional environments with multiple stakeholders, evolving timelines, and high senior-leadership visibility.
