The Marketing Manager, Endourology owns portfolio strategy and launch execution for the Endourology franchise in Japan. The immediate mandate is launch excellence: bringing a rich stone management pipeline to market over the coming years, starting with a flagship next-generation product where the goal is full conversion of the existing user base and significant share capture. Beyond individual launches, the role owns the multi-year portfolio roadmap, market development for new procedure categories, and value communication reflecting Japan's reimbursement environment. Equally important, this role carries an explicit mandate to raise the capability of the overall marketing function — codifying launch practices, mentoring colleagues, and setting the standard for strategic marketing across the team. The position works closely with sales leadership, key opinion leaders, market access, and global marketing, and operates with high executive visibility. Responsibilities include owning the Endourology marketing plan and multi-year launch roadmap; defining positioning, segmentation, targeting, and pricing input for each new product introduction; leading end-to-end launch execution for the lead pipeline product; designing and driving account-level conversion programs to migrate the existing user base to next-generation products and capture competitive share; building market development programs for new procedure categories and technologies; establishing relationships with leading urologists and endourologists and developing podium, conference, and peer-to-peer education strategies; translating clinical evidence into differentiated messaging; developing selling tools, training programs, objection-handling guides, and case support materials; partnering with sales leadership on target account strategy and launch sequencing; mapping reimbursement pathways and developing value messaging; representing Japan market requirements and competitive dynamics to global marketing; shaping global launch plans, localizing assets, and providing forecast input; codifying launch playbooks and strategic marketing practices; and mentoring and developing marketing colleagues. Success in the first 12 months means the lead pipeline product is launched or launch-ready with conversion strategy in active execution and measurable adoption in priority accounts; the multi-year portfolio roadmap is endorsed; a launch playbook is in use across the marketing team; a credible KOL network is established; and colleagues recognize the role as the strategic reference point for the Endourology portfolio.
