Global Product Leader

Some roles exist to manage processes. This one exists to make consequential decisions about medicines that matter to patients with serious diseases — and to ensure those decisions are made well, at pace, and with the full weight of evidence behind them.

As Global Product Leader (GPL), you will sit on the Therapeutic Area Leadership Team and represent the asset at CSL’s most senior governance forums. You will lead a global, cross‑functional Product Strategy Team—bringing together clinical, regulatory, commercial, manufacturing, and scientific expertise into a coherent, executable plan. You will own the asset strategy, drive it through governance with clear, well‑framed recommendations, and ensure the organization moves decisively when decisions are needed.

The scope is broad. You will integrate competitive intelligence, payer dynamics, patient insights, and evolving clinical data into strategic trade‑offs. You will lead lifecycle value creation—including label expansions, new indications, and geographic reach. You will represent CSL externally, including in due diligence and partnership contexts.

Leadership here means influence rather than line authority: building alignment across functions and sustaining it through organizational complexity, competing priorities, and the inevitable turbulence of long development programs.

• Own the Product Strategy Plan and keep it current as data and conditions evolve—balancing honest advocacy for the asset with the objectivity to adjust when the evidence calls for it.
• Prepare governance bodies to make good decisions by giving them well‑structured options, clear trade‑offs, and a recommendation you’re willing to defend.
• Anticipate risks and surface them early, rather than letting surprises reach the wrong moment.
• Shape a team culture where problems are raised before they escalate, accountability is shared, and the work moves with both strategic clarity and execution discipline.
• Contribute to building the next generation of product leaders at CSL and to the continued development of the GPL function itself.

• 12 or more years in pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical development, with experience spanning the value chain—from late research or early clinical stages through to commercialization or market access.
• Demonstrated ownership of an asset in a meaningful sense: responsible for its direction and outcomes, not just its coordination.
• Ability to hold a position under pressure and revise it when the data warrant.
• Strong analytical and communication skills to read a complex situation—scientific, organizational, commercial—and turn it into a clear narrative and a plan that people will follow.
• Advanced degree required; a PhD, MD, PharmD, or MBA preferred.
• Therapeutic area expertise in CSL Behring’s portfolio is an advantage, though not a prerequisite for the right candidate.
