摘要

The Lead of Mature Brands & Growth Strategy is responsible for shaping and executing the strategic direction of the company’s mature portfolio, ensuring its sustained performance, relevance, and impact in the market. This role goes beyond brand management, focusing on portfolio optimization, lifecycle strategy, and the identification of growth opportunities across therapeutic areas. Through a combination of strategic marketing, market intelligence, and cross-functional collaboration, the Head ensures the mature brands remain competitive and contribute meaningfully to the company’s long-term goals.
