THE OPPORTUNITY

The Organisational Capability Development Manager, Marketing and Medical, will strengthen capability across both functions by developing practical frameworks, coaching teams and establishing standards that support effective execution of business strategy. In this role, you will help Marketing and Medical teams turn strategy into confident execution, from brand planning and launch readiness through to scientific engagement and field effectiveness.

This role focuses on organisational development and capability building rather than providing technical marketing or medical expertise or owning functional content. Using the same build, coach and measure approach as the Salesforce Excellence Organisational Capability Development Manager, it will support two additional Institute of Competitiveness academies. Reporting to the Head of Capability, the role will work closely with Marketing leadership and Medical Leadership teams.

• Partner with the Salesforce Excellence Capability Development Manager to keep methods, tools and standards consistent across academies.
