Company Overview

We are known as Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, New Jersey, USA in the United States and Canada and MSD everywhere else. For more than a century, we have been inventing for life, bringing forward medicines and vaccines for many of the world's most challenging diseases. Today, our company continues to be at the forefront of research to deliver innovative health solutions and advance the prevention and treatment of diseases that threaten people and animals around the world.

About Us:

Our Company's Global Vaccines is a diverse team of professionals building on a legacy of leadership and innovator of pediatric, adolescent, and adult vaccines. Global Vaccines is part of our Company’s Human Health Global Marketing Commercial organization, a results-driven, ambitious team of sales and marketing professionals who are passionate about bringing our Company's prescription medicines, vaccines, and other medical products to patients worldwide.

The International Commercial Operations team works across and within our Global Marketing teams and leads critical commercial operations within the Global Vaccines Organization. Global Vaccines has several exciting new product launches that are poised to deliver significant health benefits to patients around the World. As such, the Vaccines Business remains a key growth driver within the company and an important focus of our commercial efforts.

Global Vaccines believes that our people are a force multiplier in our ability to bring our vaccines to patients around the globe. That Veterans are a distinct diversity of talent that is experienced both with international operations and joint operations across countries, as this is our current task-organizational model.

Position Overview:

Diverse and broad exposure to many elements of operations within the Global Pharmaceutical space, and specifically the business operations of vaccines internationally. You will also receive instruction, guidance, and mentorship from leaders within our global commercial operations around vaccines, particularly in execution of Global Operations across the vaccine’s portfolio. You will further learn how the pharmaceutical industry brings its research of vaccines to market, and patients, and accelerates an invention mindset to save and improve patients’ lives throughout the world.

We want to operationalize and drive the new task-organizational model across the Global Vaccines Organization. That means we need to focus on aligning the 2023 GV calendar and business orchestration in our matrixed structure. You will be involved in conversations around the execution of global strategic planning, omnichannel communications, regional commercial operations, and driving internal team operations. A successful candidate will be someone who can work across time zones, work with many stakeholders in a matrix environment, knows how to influence people within large initiatives, and drives through ambiguity.

Overall, we expect you to be transparent, inspect regularly, and adapt where needed. Curiosity, comfortable with ambiguity, ability to keep focus and remain resilient are probably the most important attributes you’ll need to succeed here. You will also work closely with a fellow Veteran as part of a cross-functional and enterprise portfolio team.

What you will be working on:

• Lead the implementation and execution of a new business orchestration model in the international commercial space for Global Vaccines

Experience that would benefit you (Not Exclusive):

· Ability to work effectively and efficiently through MS Teams and time zones in a hybrid environment and matrix organization

· Large initiative, multiple-unit mobilization, task force or joint-operations, or NATO Joint Operations/Command experience

· Working at Battalion Command and/or across company commands (Global Launches comprise teams from around the globe and in differing operational capacities/capabilities)

• Project Portfolio expertise, and/or ability to lead initiatives across a portfolio or command structure

· Initiative leadership, across and above operational teams, with the potential to have worked internationally in a joint command setting

· Direct leadership at the Company or higher level, managing teams through teams

Mindset Needed to be Successful:

· Resilient, servant leadership, adaptive, collaborative, fast learner, and ability to delegate through influence or charting the course

· Strong influencer and stakeholder management skills

· Strong communicator across different levels of skills, learnings, and rank/seniority

· Ability to be both assertive and confident within a team without direct lines of authority

· Ability to work very well in cross-functional teams, interact from silos to networks, and like working in a diverse environment with local, regional, and global colleagues.

Location(s):

This position is remote/home-office based, with opportunity to engage in-person with colleagues at our main Global commercial campuses at Upper Gwynedd, PA, and/or Kenilworth, NJ.

Meetings are held primarily within US Eastern Standard Time business hours (8:00-17:00EST). As some colleagues are internationally based, this requires some international meetings to take place outside of these defined working hours, but only as a function to facilitate job related responsibilities.

Hybrid meetings are conducted occasionally from time to time, and so this presents an opportunity to attend in person meetings with colleagues
