Acting as a strategic thought partner to BU leadership, the role identifies key performance drivers, translates complexity into transparency and supports fact-based prioritization and decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Enable BU-led performance improvement by identifying and aligning key performance drivers, understanding and monitoring their influencing factors (e.g. in-market activities, competitive environment) and translating these insights into clear, prioritized recommendations that support BU decision-making and operational execution.

• Leverage the Commercial Business Partner network to create cross-BU value by combining dedicated BU ownership with systematic knowledge sharing of insights, best practices, learnings, competitive intelligence and performance trends across BUs.
• Ensure launch-to-lifecycle continuity by partnering with the Pipeline and Launch Execution Manager (PLEX), taking over responsibility shortly before launch to transition into launch execution tracking and lifecycle management, and coordinating with the Commercial Launch Lead’s launch review team to embed launch learnings into subsequent product lifecycle stages.
• Accelerate operational excellence by streamlining commercial processes and embedding KPI- and dashboard-driven ways of working to improve efficiency, transparency and impact.
