Commercial Lead - Uro-Oncology

At Ferring Pharmaceuticals, we help people around the world build families and live better lives. We are entrepreneurial and innovative, with a global team focused on scientific advances in the areas of reproductive and women’s health, gastroenterology and urology. Ferring + You is all about working together and sharing ideas, so that we can bring science to life for patients around the world.

Our Commercial teams collaborate as trusted partners with patient groups, clinicians, policy makers and the scientific community to identify and develop new opportunities to help patients. Customer centric, we offer an empowering, entrepreneurial culture – and a place to thrive and grow. 

We are entering an exciting period of portfolio transformation, with an established Uro-Oncology franchise and a significant private market launch planned for 2027. This is a rare opportunity to own a commercially meaningful P&L from day one while shaping the launch strategy of a first-in-class therapy.

Ferring+You

As Commercial Lead - Uro-Oncology, you will inherit an established, commercially active portfolio, including a long-acting GnRH antagonist and branded/generic formulations in urology, and be responsible for sustaining and growing its commercial performance through non-sales-force-promoted channels including digital, pricing strategy and key account partnerships.

Alongside portfolio stewardship, you will lead the Commercial and Market Access strategy for a novel intravesical gene therapy launching into the UK private market in 2027 — one of the most commercially significant launches in the company's recent history. This includes building the private market access infrastructure, developing insurer engagement materials, and delivering pre-launch and launch activities with a National KAM - Uro-Oncology who will be the field-based commercial execution partner.

This role also carries a strategic projects dimension, working directly with the GM UKIE on enterprise-wide initiatives across the business — giving the right candidate exposure and influence well beyond a traditional brand management role.
