  • Own Competitive Intelligence: Monitor and deconstruct competitor positioning across Veeva, IQVIA, Medidata, and specialized patient services platforms. Produce competitive teardowns and battlecards for every major competitor scenario.

  • Own Product Launches for Life Sciences: Lead go-to-market planning and execution for new product capabilities targeting pharma and biotech buyers. Own launch messaging, sales enablement materials, and buyer-facing collateral for clinical operations, medical affairs, and commercial teams.
  • Partner with Product Management: Serve as the voice of life sciences buyers into the product roadmap. Share use case definitions, competitive intelligence, and customer advisory input with the Product team. Co-own launch planning while Product owns feature prioritization and technical specs.
  • Drive Content Strategy for Life Sciences Audiences: Collaborate with the Head of Clinical Content to build the editorial calendar for life sciences content: whitepapers, case studies, clinical evidence summaries, and regulatory narratives.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in product marketing, with at least 5 years focused specifically on marketing technology solutions to pharma, MedTech, or life sciences organizations. You have led GTM strategy at the segment or business unit level.

  • Experience marketing to pharma/MedTech buyers: VP Patient Services, Head of Medical Affairs, VP Commercial Operations. You understand regulatory constraints on pharma marketing (MLR review, fair balance, off-label).
  • Proven ability to tie your work to specific pipeline dollars. You have owned a pipeline target and can show marketing-sourced revenue impact with real numbers.
  • Proven experience taking a healthcare technology product from 0-to-1 in a life sciences or adjacent segment, building the GTM motion from initial positioning through the first pipeline. This is a nascent segment for HAI, and we need someone who has built from scratch, not optimized an existing engine.
  • Expert-level fluency with AI tools for marketing workflows. Our interview process includes a practical project that directly tests this.
  • A bachelor’s degree plus an MBA or advanced degree is required.
  • Strong competitive positioning instincts. You can tear down any competitor’s messaging in your segment and produce a differentiated counter-narrative quickly.
