What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. Sjögren’s disease is a chronic autoimmune condition with significant unmet need and no approved disease-modifying therapies. As Director, U.S. Consumer Marketing, you will shape how patients and caregivers understand the disease and engage with their care. You will lead consumer strategy for dazodalibep, one of Amgen’s important upcoming Rare Disease launches, building awareness and helping patients take informed next steps—from recognizing the impact of Sjögren’s to having meaningful conversations with their healthcare providers.

This is an opportunity to build a consumer marketing program for a new category, connect patient needs with the broader brand strategy, and help drive launch impact. You will lead integrated campaigns and patient touchpoints across channels, build and develop a high-performing team, and work closely with HCP Marketing, Patient Advocacy, Medical, Market Access, and other partners to create a connected experience for patients and caregivers. This individual will have deep patient marketing experience and brand launch experience.
