Brand Manager - Respiratory - Slough - Hybrid Working

The Company

Our client is an ambitious and growing pharmaceutical company with an established UK presence and significant plans for continued growth.

The business has expanded considerably over the last two years and operates with a lean, collaborative structure. This gives people broad responsibility, strong visibility and the opportunity to make a tangible contribution without the layers often found in larger organisations.

The Opportunity

• This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Brand Manager to take end-to-end ownership of a strategically important UK respiratory portfolio.
• The portfolio includes an established lead brand with further growth potential, an important sustainability agenda and new assets in development. The successful person will be trusted to take hold of the portfolio, shape the brand plans and drive their delivery with a high degree of autonomy.
• This is a particularly strong opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the business, working across functions and seeing the direct commercial impact of their decisions.

The Role

Working closely with the Associate Director of Marketing, Business Unit Director and cross-functional colleagues, the Brand Manager will:

• Play a significant role in developing the respiratory portfolio brand plans
• Take ownership of end-to-end operational and tactical delivery
• Manage multiple marketing projects, agencies, suppliers and budgets
• Use market insight and performance data to guide activity and measure return on investment
• Develop customer-centred communications and initiatives in partnership with Medical colleagues
• Collaborate closely with Sales, Medical and other business functions
• Maintain a strong understanding of the NHS, payer environment and respiratory market
• Spend time in the field to develop customer insight and support commercial activity
• Identify opportunities and bring fresh, commercially focused thinking to the portfolio

There may also be opportunities to contribute to selected projects beyond the UK as the wider business continues to develop.

The Right Person

The ideal candidate will be an experienced pharmaceutical Brand Manager who can quickly take ownership of the portfolio and operate confidently within a lean, fast-moving organisation.
The company is also open to hearing from exceptional Associate Brand Managers who can demonstrate that they are ready to step into their first Brand Manager role and take on genuine portfolio ownership.

You will ideally bring:

• UK pharmaceutical brand-management experience
• Experience developing brand plans and leading their operational delivery
• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities
• Experience managing marketing projects, agencies and budgets
• Strong cross-functional and stakeholder-management skills
• Good knowledge of the NHS environment and ABPI Code
• An analytical, accountable and results-focused approach
• The initiative, resilience and confidence to work with a high degree of autonomy

Respiratory, branded-generics or product-launch experience would be advantageous, although strong transferable UK pharmaceutical marketing experience will also be considered.
