      Senior Manager Medical Strategy & Operational Excellence

      Senior manager global medical affairs
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      High visibility, fast paced, great learning opportunity, a mix of science and business to build both skills (medical strategy, AOP, facilitating meetings, planning agenda and meetings minutes, thought partner to medical directors), role is like a Chief of Staff.

      Cons

      Lots of ambiguity, hit the ground running from day 1, long hours, need for intense multi tasking, can sometimes feel lonely (lack of a thought partner), need to switch between science and business quickly.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you’ve found value in our benefits, work-life balance, and the meaningful nature of the projects you’ve worked on. I'm sorry to hear that recent organizational changes and career growth have been a challenge. We are actively working on enhancing our career development programs and pathways to ensure that all team members have the opportunity to grow and succeed within the organization. One way that we've already done this is through our Orbit program. Orbits are a 3 to 6-month stint where employees can take on projects in a different role, collaborate closely with a new team, and gain exposure to another position within the company while continuing their existing responsibilities. Any additional feedback that you're willing to provide is always helpful - please don't hesitate to reach out with additional details. You can do so confidentially by emailing talentfeedback@biogen.com. - Maria, HR
