About US Marketing
Sales and marketing teams are on the front lines every day, ensuring that patients, families/caregivers, and healthcare professionals have all the necessary information about medicines manufactured by Biogen. We work from a deep understanding of the science behind our therapies and the disease areas that they treat. At Biogen, marketing is essential to recognize customer needs and creating best in class medicines. Biogen is rooted in a core focus on Neuroscience and currently marketing medicines in 4 therapeutic areas: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Neuromuscular Diseases (Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)), Alzheimer’s Disease (ALZ), and Neuropsychiatry (Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Post-Partum Depression (PPD)).
The US Marketing Fellowship at Biogen offers a unique opportunity for Fellows to learn what it takes to commercialize a medicine and have a successful career in biopharmaceutical field. During the first-year fellows will develop an understanding of core marketing fundamentals, commercial operations, and business processes at Biogen. Fellows will work with cross-functional partners and field teams to develop a deep understanding of the patient journey and key customer insights. Fellows will take these learning and support ongoing projects as well as lead new initiatives helping to advance the strategic priorities of the brand. As fellows, lead and take on more responsibility they will begin to learn about the US promotional review process and how to effectively execute key projects in a regulated environment.
For the second-year fellows will have the opportunity to switch to another franchise, where they will learn a new therapeutic area, and building off their first year will now have complete ownership on brand projects, from ideation to execution. The US Marketing Fellowship provides PharmDs an opportunity to learn and develop critical business skills required to grow as a leader within a rapidly growing and innovative biotechnology company.
