Product Launch Manager
Role: Full-time, permanent
Location: Stockley Park, West London
Salary: Competitive + bonus + benefits
The Role
The Product Launch Manager is responsible for the end-to-end planning, coordination, and delivery of product launches across generic and specialty pharmaceutical brands within the EMENA region.
Acting as a senior, experienced individual contributor, the role ensures that product launches are delivered on time, on budget, and in line with commercial strategy, while navigating complex cross-functional and cross-market requirements. The role does not include direct line management responsibility but requires strong leadership through influence, matrix working, and stakeholder engagement.
- Lead the end-to-end launch management of generic and specialty products, ensuring delivery in line with approved commercial plans and timelines.
- Develop and maintain robust launch plans, tracking milestones, risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies.
- Ensure all launches follow a consistent, compliant, and well-governed launch process aligned with regulatory, quality, supply chain, and commercial requirements.
- Challenge assumptions and timelines to accelerate launches where feasible without compromising quality or compliance.
- Act as the central coordination point across Regulatory, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Medical, and Commercial functions.
- Drive on-time milestone delivery through proactive engagement, escalation, and issue resolution across matrix teams.
- Coordinate and lead key cross-functional launch meetings, ensuring clear actions, accountability, and timely escalation where required.
- Partner with supply chain and technical teams to ensure availability of required technical, packaging, and supply information.
- Feed launch timelines, assumptions, and consolidated forecasts into capacity planning, financial planning, and commercial planning processes.
- Ensure launch plans are aligned to longer-term business objectives, including delivery against the 5-year plan.
- Perform post-launch reviews, identifying lessons learned and opportunities for continuous improvement.
