  • Lead integrated brand campaigns end-to-end (concept through measurement), developing strategic briefs, launch plans, and messaging frameworks tied to defined business outcomes
  • Guide social and content direction across key platforms, shaping channel strategy, engagement approach, and growth priorities while maintaining a cohesive brand voice
  • Develop high-impact activations and awareness initiatives (e.g., webinars, conferences, experiential, and emerging channels), optimizing execution based on results and audience insights
  • Partner cross-functionally (marketing, design, sales, and leadership) to align on priorities, resolve trade-offs, and build scalable brand processes that improve speed, quality, and collaboration
  • Manage external agencies and vendors with clear expectations for timelines, budgets, quality standards, and performance reporting to strengthen ROI and accountability

Qualifications and Skills for the Marketing Brand Director (Scientific):

  • 7–10+ years of experience in brand, integrated, strategic marketing, or communications, with a track record of leading brand strategy and campaigns from concept to impact
  • A degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field is preferred, though equivalent experience is equally valued
  • Experience in complex and/or highly regulated industries is strongly preferred, with the ability to turn technical concepts into compelling, audience-relevant stories
  • Strong strategic judgment paired with hands-on execution—comfortable setting objectives, prioritizing trade-offs, and defining measurable success metrics
  • Excellent storytelling, writing, and presentation skills, with the executive presence to influence senior stakeholders and confidently present recommendations
  • Data-informed mindset with strength in brand performance measurement, audience segmentation, market positioning, and translating insights into actionable plans
  • Proven ability to manage agencies, creative workflows, and multiple high-visibility initiatives at once while maintaining high standards for quality and detail
  • Collaborative, low-ego leadership style—able to thrive in ambiguity, build alignment quickly, and keep teams moving with clarity and momentum
