About the Role Azurity Pharmaceuticals is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company focused on innovative products that meet the needs of underserved patients. Within the Surgical Business Unit — our hospital-focused, targeted-delivery specialty business — we are preparing to launch D-PLEX
100, a locally administered, extended-release surgical anti-infective for the prevention of surgical site infection. We are seeking a Head of Marketing (Senior Director) to own US brand strategy and launch for D-PLEX
100. Reporting to the VP, NA Commercial Brand Executive for Oncology, this individual is the US marketing lead for the asset — responsible for brand strategy, positioning, launch planning and readiness, and in-line execution across the hospital and surgical setting. D-PLEX
100 is an inpatient, DRG-reimbursed product whose adoption is governed at the account level by institutional Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T) committees; success depends on winning formulary approval and building protocol-level demand, not on individual prescribing alone. The role leads a small brand team, directs external agencies, and partners closely with Market Access/HEOR, Medical Affairs, Sales, Regulatory, and Program Management to bring a differentiated, reimbursement-dependent hospital product to market.

This role has two direct reports — a Director, Brand Marketing (primarily, but not limited to, in-line HCP marketing execution and campaign/agency management) and a Senior Manager, Brand Marketing – Institutional (primarily, but not limited to, institutional and account-facing materials, congress and KOL logistics)  The ideal candidate brings a minimum of 12 years in pharmaceutical or biotech, including at least 6 years of US marketing experience working with DRG-reimbursed hospital, surgical, and/or anti-infective products, and prior people-management experience.

This is a US-focused role in a fast-paced, launch-stage environment that rewards a hands-on, collaborative leader.
