Vice President, Corporate Communications

The Vice President, Corporate Communications will lead the New Amsterdam Pharma’s (NAP) communications organization and shape a clear, credible, and compelling external narrative as the organization prepares for a potential first commercial launch, pending regulatory approval. This executive will be responsible for developing and executing an integrated communications strategy that advances corporate reputation, supports business objectives, strengthens stakeholder engagement, and reinforces the New Amsterdam Pharma’s mission across internal and external audiences.

Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer and serving as a senior communications advisor to the senior leadership team, this leader will oversee corporate, product and pipeline, executive, internal, digital, media, and milestone communications. The Vice President will partner closely with leaders across the organization to ensure communications are strategically aligned, accurate, compliant, and ready to support the company’s continued evolution from late-stage development toward potential commercialization.

The ideal candidate is an experienced biotechnology communications leader who combines strategic judgment, executive presence, and hands‑on execution. This individual must be equally comfortable advising senior leaders in high‑stakes situations, developing long‑range communications strategy, building a scalable communications function, and delivering flawless execution across multiple stakeholder audiences. At this time, this is an individual contributor role requiring a hands‑on leader who will personally develop communications strategies, create content, counsel senior leaders, manage agency partners, and execute communications initiatives while building the foundations for future growth.
