Position Summary

You are a seasoned rare disease commercialization leader who thrives at the intersection of science, strategy, and execution. You have led — or been a critical architect of — at least one rare disease launch, and you understand that in a small-patient, high-science category, every HCP interaction and every patient touchpoint matters. You know how to build a brand from the ground up, how to mobilize a field team around a clear and compelling narrative, and how to make the most of a narrow but deep opportunity.

The Senior Director, Head of Marketing will serve as the commercial brand authority for Calci (encaleret) — BridgeBio's oral CaSR negative allosteric modulator in NDA review for Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1). This is a first-in-class asset targeting a chronically underserved rare endocrine population, and this role represents a defining commercial leadership opportunity. You will own the full marketing function for Calci: leading HCP marketing, patient marketing, and KOL engagement under a single integrated brand strategy. You will report directly to the SVP, Sales & Marketing — Endocrinology and will be expected to be on-site in both our San Francisco and Palo Alto home offices on a weekly basis.

This is not a role for someone who needs a playbook. It's a role for someone who writes one.
