As a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases, you’ll be part of a community that prioritizes the human experience, celebrates curiosity, and values every person’s contributions to meaningful progress. That commitment has earned us recognition as Science magazine’s No. 1 Top Employer for five consecutive years, certification as a Great Place to Work® in the U.S., and a place on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list in the UK. For patients, for each other, and for the future of science, we’re in. Are you? About the Role: We’re looking for a Director, Patient & Professional Advocacy, Market Development to help us expand what’s possible for patients with serious diseases. Reporting to the VP, Patient Advocacy, the Director, Patient & Professional Advocacy, Market Development will play a pivotal role in transforming how Insmed partners with patient organizations, professional medical associations, and other consensus-based groups to advance science with a focus on patient-centric outcomes. Your primary goal will be to lead the design and execution of innovative, high-impact collaborations focused on accelerating the identification and diagnosis of bronchiectasis, particularly within COPD, asthma, and other chronic lung disease populations. This role will work at the intersection of patient advocacy organizations, professional medical societies, and clinical communities to improve disease recognition, enable earlier diagnosis, and support the identification of under-diagnosed patient populations.

This position is entirely focused on co-creating novel approaches to engagement, data generation, digital enablement and systems-level collaboration in partnership with consensus-based organizations. It is not a traditional sponsorship or program management role, but a strategic forward-thinking position centered around meaningful ecosystem building and transformative impact.
