• Own the global gut health portfolio: lifecycle, roadmap, positioning, and value propositions.
• Serve as the SME in terms of supporting bids, customer meetings, trainings, and technical escalations.
• Convert scientific insights into portfolio strategy; define R&D trial priorities and collaborate on study designs and readouts.
• Lead key projects end-to-end with Marketing, Operations, Quality, Procurement, and Legal; track milestones, risks, and ROI.
• Build and execute go-to-market plans (claims strategy, pricing guidance, launch toolkits, sales enablement).
• Create compelling technical content (datasheets, guidelines, training modules) that simplifies complex science.
• Capture voice-of-customer and market intelligence; benchmark competitors and shape proactive responses.
• Deliver product promotion, training, and customer engagement globally; ensure post-launch performance tracking.
