This individual will be responsible for driving market development, commercial communications, marketing strategies, focusing initially on Phase 3 market development and communications, launch readiness and commercialization in the U.S. for the lead program EP-104GI for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE).

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Marketing, Pre-Launch Planning

• Develop and own the integrated EoE market development strategy and pre-launch roadmap, with clear milestones tied to Phase 3 readouts, regulatory submission, and launch.
• Build and maintain a quantitative market model covering EoE epidemiology, the diagnosed-and-treated patient funnel, segmentation of the prescriber base, and identification of conversion bottlenecks across the patient journey.
• Commission and translate primary and secondary market research (HCP, patient, payer) into actionable strategy; identify drivers and barriers to diagnosis, treatment initiation, and persistence.
• Maintain ongoing competitive intelligence across approved and emerging EoE therapies; anticipate evolution of the standard of care
• Lead the development of the 3-year strategic commercial plan, ensuring alignment between Clinical, Regulatory, and Medical Affairs to support a successful launch in the US and potentially global markets.
• Effectively communicate core branding, marketing messages and product positioning statements within the organization.

Stakeholder Engagement (KOLs, Patients)

• Identify, map, and develop trusted relationships with national, regional, and emerging KOLs across academic and high-volume community practices, in close coordination with Medical Affairs and clear separation of commercial and medical responsibilities.
• Design and execute commercial advisory boards, market shaping summits, and steering committees to inform positioning, messaging, and unmet need narratives.
• Represent the franchise externally at major scientific congresses (e.g., DDW, ACG,AAAAI) and contribute to the company’s scientific presence.
• Build and steward strategic relationships with EoE patient advocacy organizations, including but not limited to APFED (American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders), CURED Foundation, and other relevant groups.

Market Access & Pricing Support

• Collaborate with Market Access vendors, and eventually internal Market Access leadership to support the appropriate Phase 3 strategy and operational planning to ensure optimal PRMA and HEOR conditions for Phase 3 trails, NDA approval and product launch.
• Support the development of the Health Technology Assessment and equivalent dossiers and value decks for payer presentations, ensuring clinical data is translated into economic value.

Communications

• Participate with Medical Affairs in the development and stewardship of the integrated messaging architecture for EP-104GI, including the unbranded disease-state narrative, the scientific communications platform, and — as the asset progresses toward approval — the branded value proposition and core claims hierarchy.
• Define key messages and supporting proof points for each priority audience: gastroenterologists, allergists/immunologists, pediatric subspecialists, patients and caregivers, payers, investors, and internal stakeholders. Ensure messaging is consistent across all external-facing touchpoints and tailored to each audience’s clinical, economic, or experiential lens.
• Write and own copy for materials in which our lead product is described, including the corporate website, R&D day and investor materials, scientific congress booths and symposia content, advisory board pre-reads, KOL engagement decks, pre-launch HCP and patient disease-state education, and internal commercial training materials.
• Partner closely with Corporate Communications and Investor Relations on press releases, scientific data disclosures, and earnings-cycle materials in which the EoE program is referenced, providing commercial and market context that strengthens the external narrative without compromising regulatory boundaries.

Data, Analytics & Competitive Intelligence

• Establish the early commercial analytics function, including forecasting, patient journey mapping. Secure necessary data contracts (claims data, Rx data) necessary to establish early commercial strategies.
• Oversee global product demand forecasts for manufacturing.
• Maintain a deep understanding of the GI/EoE landscape, monitoring competitor data readouts, pricing strategies, and standard-of-care shifts to adapt our commercial tactics in real-time.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Responsible for coordinating the activities and resource planning of the global Market Access, Market Research, Patient Advocacy, and Medical groups, as different teams are added, to align to the global strategy and execution of the business plan.
• Partner with R&D, Clinical, Sales, Market Access, and Medical Affairs to convey consistent messaging and commercial goals.

Lifecycle Management

• Oversee end-to-end launch planning, marketing, and promotional strategies for new and existing assets.
