Job Description:

The Competitive Portfolio Partner develops and manages the competitive   engagement   assets and programs that drive commercial performance across the J&J IM — for example, an Advanced Selling Academy or a MOSAIC Competitive Selling build. This is visible,   high-stakes   work that connects directly to how J&J commercial teams compete and grow. Partnering closely with the Portfolio Lead, this role carries an assigned area from scope through launch to measurement: developing content, safeguarding accuracy and compliance, meeting committed timelines, and integrating field feedback to sustain relevance and impact. The Portfolio Partner is a trusted operational owner who runs an assigned area of the portfolio independently and surfaces the decisions, risks, and trade-offs that warrant the Portfolio Lead's attention — with real room to lead, build, and leave a fingerprint on programs that scale across functions.

• Lead workstream communications.   Own the communication strategy for the assigned workstream — translating portfolio direction into clear,   timely   messaging that drives alignment, adoption, and action across Sales, Medical, KAM, FRM, and Marketing stakeholders.  

• Identify   gaps and lifecycle opportunities.   Surface overlaps, unmet needs, and retirement candidates, supported by performance data and field insight, and provide informed recommendations.  

• Escalate risks and issues appropriately.   Raise portfolio-level risks, quality concerns, and matters requiring cross-portfolio coordination or leadership attention ahead of impact.  

• Represent the assigned workstream(s) in key forums.   S upport in speaking   for the assigned   area (s)   in governance discussions and cross-functional planning, driving   alignment   and ensuring follow- through on   actions.
