Following over 30 years of investment in Alzheimer’s disease research and development across both therapeutics and diagnostics, Lilly plan to launch a new therapy in this area of great unmet need for patients and carers. Lilly’s promising Alzheimer’s pipeline is expected to come to Australia over the next few years. The Alzheimer assets will mandate both a strong brand strategy and diagnostic strategy.
The role is primarily responsible for leading the brand marketing of Lilly’s first molecule for the treatment of Alzheimer’s from the development of strategy through to the operational implementation of all customer solutions. As the brand leader, you will be required to understand the global strategy and then adjust the strategy based on the local environmental considerations. This will be achieved through developing a deep understanding of the local market and in-depth customer insights and formulating an engagement strategy that differentiates Eli Lilly with the target Health Care Professionals.
Lilly has a strong pipeline in Alzheimer’s and neuroscience, and the Marketing Lead will also have responsibility for helping co-ordinate the organizations’ strategy in regard to the neuroscience business unit franchise. This includes ensuring that, from both the customer and organization perspective, Lilly realises the value of having multiple molecules in the same therapeutic area.
