Director Brand Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About the Role 

Azurity Pharmaceuticals is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company focused on innovative products that meet the needs of underserved patients. Within the ARGO franchise - our hospital-focused, targeted-delivery specialty business - we are preparing to launch D-PLEX100, a locally administered, extended-release surgical anti-infective for the prevention of surgical site infection. 

We are seeking a Director, Brand Marketing to drive US HCP brand strategy and in-line marketing execution for D-PLEX100. Reporting to the Senior Director, Brand Marketing (D-PLEX100 brand lead) within the ARGO franchise, this individual leads day-to-day brand operations for the hospital and surgical setting - developing and executing campaigns, messaging, and materials, managing agencies, and supporting launch readiness. D-PLEX100 is an inpatient, DRG-reimbursed product whose adoption is governed at the account level by institutional Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) committees, so HCP demand generation is developed in close coordination with the brand's institutional-access work. 

The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 10 years in pharmaceutical or biotech, including at least 5 years of US in-line marketing and launch experience, with hospital, surgical, and/or anti-infective product experience strongly preferred. This is a US-focused, execution-oriented role in a fast-paced, launch-stage environment that rewards a hands-on, collaborative contributor. 

Key Responsibilities 

Brand Strategy & Execution 

• Develop and execute the integrated HCP marketing plan for D-PLEX100 in the hospital and surgical setting, aligned to the brand strategy set by the Senior Director and to corporate and commercial objectives. 
• Manage day-to-day brand operations - ensuring timely development, medical/legal/regulatory review, production, and deployment of campaigns, messaging, and materials that optimize brand awareness and performance against established goals. 
• Monitor brand performance, KPIs, and market dynamics - including protocol adoption and account-level uptake - and recommend tactical pivots. 
• Support primary and secondary market research to build surgeon, pharmacy, and institutional insight and to inform brand tactics. 

Launch Planning & Readiness 

• Support cross-functional US launch readiness for D-PLEX100 and subsequent indications, contributing brand deliverables to the integrated launch plan and readiness gates. 
• Develop US launch materials, field execution tools, and training content, sequenced to regulatory approval and the reimbursement and coding milestones that gate the commercial model. 
• Coordinate HCP demand generation with the brand's institutional-access work (formulary tools, P&T submissions, coding support) so promotion and access readiness move together. 
• Partner with Medical Affairs, Regulatory, and external agencies to deliver high-quality, compliant promotional and educational content. 

Portfolio & Lifecycle Support 

• Execute against D-PLEX100 across its lifecycle stages (pre-launch, launch, growth), managing tactics and budget within the brand plan to maximize impact and return. 
• Support indication-expansion planning by developing HCP positioning and demand-generation tactics for new surgical settings as they advance. 
• Track the competitive and standard-of-care landscape - including infection-prevention bundles and protocol inertia - and surface implications for brand tactics. 
• Work with sales training, commercial partners, and medical and legal teams to develop and implement commercial training for the franchise. 

Stakeholder & Field Collaboration 

• Serve as a key liaison between marketing and the hospital field force, driving alignment on strategy and messaging. 
• Engage surgeon and pharmacy KOLs to gather insight and inform brand planning and positioning. 
• Collaborate with external partners, agencies, and vendors to develop omnichannel campaigns tailored to hospital and surgical audiences. 

Measures of Success 

• Execution: campaigns, materials, and field tools are delivered on time, clear medical/legal/regulatory review, and are field-ready at launch. 
• Brand performance: awareness, protocol adoption, and account-level uptake track to or ahead of established brand goals. 
• Coordination: HCP demand generation is sequenced with institutional-access deliverables so promotion and access readiness stay aligned. 
• Quality: brand messaging remains compliant and consistent across channels and materials in-market. 

Required Skills and Experience 

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Life Sciences, Business, or a related field required; MBA or advanced degree preferred. 
• 10+ years in the pharmaceutical or biotech industry, including 5+ years of US in-line marketing and launch experience. 
• Proven ability to manage multiple brands or indications simultaneously in a fast-paced, evolving organization, with a hands-on, collaborative approach. 
• Demonstrated ownership of brand execution - campaigns, messaging, materials, and agency management - through medical/legal/regulatory review. 
• Strong cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to align field and agency partners around brand strategy. 
• Experience partnering with Medical Affairs, Market Access, Sales, and Regulatory on compliant promotional and educational content. 
• Willingness to travel ~20-30% (including conferences, sales meetings, and field rides). 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Hospital, surgical, anti-infective, or other inpatient / buy-and-bill product experience strongly preferred. 
• Familiarity with inpatient DRG-reimbursed, P&T-governed products and how institutional access shapes HCP demand generation. 
• Launch experience with an in-licensed or newly acquired asset. 
• Experience marketing to surgeon and hospital-pharmacy audiences. 
• Drug-device combination or novel-delivery product marketing experience
