The ideal candidate has experience working in the biotech/biopharma industry, specifically for a Contract Development Manufacturing Organization (CDMO). You will seek insight and understand the best practices in the industry from a marketing perspective.

External US

Against this backdrop, there is a need for a Vice President of Global Marketing to be based in the US and have full global responsibility and accountability. Reporting to the Senior Vice President and global Head of Strategic Business Services and member of the executive leadership team, the VP of Global Marketing is a highly visible and impactful role within the organization with direct access and interaction with the executive leadership team.

The VP will be responsible for challenging the status quo and determining “what good looks like” from the external market in relevant industries and sectors.

This individual will be the driving force behind the organization’s global marketing strategy and execution including long-term strategic aspirations and goals as well as elevating engagement with the commercial team and customers by leveraging a fresh approach to the digital footprint and multichannel marketing.

The role will be a combination of strategy (bringing in new ideas, thinking about the enterprise business, and planning and operating for the short-, mid-, and long-term) as well as operational (hands on, high level of engagement and connection with internal and external customers). Ability to deliver on both a strong long term strategy for evolving marketing as a central value driver and a dedicated focus on tactical success (“plan” → “do” → “show”) will be a prerequisite.

They will partner closely with the commercial team and drive accountability in this decentralized model.

Leading a team of 10-12 people globally, the Vice President of Marketing will grow, retain, and engage the team for maximum leverage across the organization. This person will inspire the team to stretch their creativity beyond technical marketing and foster an environment of ownership and accountability.

The Vice President of Marketing will also be responsible for establishing and leading a central Business Value Stream function and responsible for a leading and delivering on a coherent business value stream strategy, focusing on continuously ensuring that FDB maintains a strong position in the respective markets driven by a value proposition that clearly differentiates FDB.
