About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and maintain a GCSO communications strategy and editorial roadmap that reflects GCSO priorities (e.g., market shaping, portfolio/asset strategy, launch readiness and launch excellence) and aligns with IM CPA functional priorities.
Translate GCSO strategies, capabilities and proof points into clear messaging frameworks, story briefs and toolkits that can be used consistently across functions, TAs and regions.
Develop high-impact “how we win” stories that demonstrate GCSO’s value—bringing together strategy, execution, innovation and measurable outcomes—while balancing business rigor with accessible storytelling.
Partner with internal subject-matter experts to identify story opportunities early (capability launches, playbooks, must-win moments, major breakthroughs) and shape stories for key moments that matter.
Draft, edit and quality-control a range of communications assets (leader messages, one-pagers, FAQs, slide-ready summaries, intranet articles, newsletters, video scripts) with strong attention to compliance and review requirements.
Serve as a day-to-day communications partner to GCSO functional leadership, ensuring strong intake, prioritization and delivery against business-critical needs.
Enable partnership across North America, EMEA, AP and LATAM by coordinating message pull-through, adapting content for regional relevance and helping share protocols across the network.
Coordinate with adjacent IM CPA teams (TA communications, corporate/enterprise, public affairs, employee communications, digital/social) to ensure alignment on narrative, timing and channels.
Build strong working relationships with key stakeholders and executive assistants to anticipate leadership needs, manage calendars and ensure preparedness for key internal forums.
Plan and deliver internal communications that increase understanding and adoption of GCSO strategy, priorities and ways of working—helping leaders communicate with clarity and consistency.
Support GCSO-wide engagement moments (e.g., town halls, summits, leadership meetings, capability launches) through run-of-show development, speaker prep, key messages, talking points and FAQs .
Develop and manage leader-ready materials that enable effective cascade communications across GCSO and partner organizations.
Translate complex commercial strategy and operating-model topics into clear, motivating communications that help employees connect their work to patient and business impact.
In partnership with IM CPA leads, identify where selective external storytelling can appropriately elevate GCSO capabilities and strengthen confidence in IM’s launch excellence and commercial strategy (e.g., thought leadership, speaking opportunities, owned content).
Draft and edit executive-level communications (remarks, talking points, briefing documents, LinkedIn-ready narratives) that support GCSO leaders’ external engagement and internal influence.
Contribute to cross-channel activation plans (earned, shared and owned) by providing messaging, proof points and narrative guidance that reflect GCSO’s role and value.
Manage multiple workstreams with strong project discipline—timelines, partner alignment, reviews/ approvals and high-quality deliverables under tight deadlines.
Ensure communications are compliant and appropriately reviewed (Legal/Regulatory/Medical and other collaborators as required ), applying sound judgment and discretion.
Manage agency and vendor partners (as applicable) to deliver on communications plans, ensuring on-time execution and budget discipline.
Define success measures and reporting for GCSO communications programs (e.g., awareness, engagement, adoption, leader enablement), translating analytics and feedback into continuous improvement.
Apply modern communications procedures and approved AI-enabled tools to strengthen planning, content quality and message consistency.
