Senior Director, Head of Global Marketing, EPD (m/f/d)

Abbott's Established Pharmaceuticals Division (EPD) is looking for a senior leader to head its global marketing function. Based at the division's headquarters in Basel, Switzerland, the role sits at the top of the marketing hierarchy and reports directly to executive leadership. The incumbent will be responsible for shaping the worldwide marketing vision, strategy, and execution for a portfolio that spans more than 80 markets and covers multiple therapeutic areas, with the aim of delivering growth that exceeds market averages and creating lasting enterprise value. The day‑to‑day agenda centers on defining a unified commercial strategy that aligns with corporate goals and drives brand differentiation. This includes crafting and continuously refining a global brand and portfolio roadmap, turning market intelligence and competitive insights into actionable plans, and overseeing the creation of high‑impact brand campaigns that cascade to local markets. The leader will also coordinate with research, development, and business‑development teams to pinpoint new growth opportunities, manage in‑licensing and partnership initiatives, and accelerate the launch of emerging assets. Execution oversight extends to regional affiliates, where performance targets, governance structures, and key performance indicators such as sales growth, market share, profitability, and return on investment are monitored and enforced. The posting does not specify any mandatory qualifications, years of experience, language proficiency, certifications, or other formal prerequisites. Consequently, no explicit must‑have criteria are listed for this position. The role offers the chance to build and guide a world‑class global marketing organization, fostering a culture of innovation, agility, and accountability across a diverse, multinational team. The position is situated in Basel, providing a central European base from which to influence operations in more than 160 countries. The senior director will work closely with senior leaders across commercial, medical, and other functions, shaping long‑range plans, financial allocations, and digital transformation initiatives that embed data‑driven, patient‑centric approaches throughout the value chain.
