Job Description
BD Lab Specimen Management is seeking an Associate Director, Strategic Marketing & Partnerships to lead two connected growth priorities: developing strategic relationships with diagnostic instrument companies and advancing the partner ecosystem required to scale new innovations. This role will translate market, technology, customer, and partner insights into focused strategies, prioritized opportunities, and executable partnership plans.
The successful candidate will be comfortable operating at the intersection of marketing, business development, R&D, regulatory, medical affairs, regional commercial teams, and external partners. The individual must be able to move from rigorous analysis to executive recommendation and then to disciplined execution in an evolving, highly matrixed environment.
Responsibilities:
Instrument Company Partnership Strategy
- Lead the strategy and engagement model for priority diagnostics partners, reference Labs, and IDNs.
- Define mutually beneficial opportunities spanning technical compatibility, workflow integration, regulatory or clinical collaboration, co-development, co-marketing, and commercial growth.
- Partner with R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, Quality, and regional teams to translate external requirements into testing plans, development priorities, evidence needs, and commercialization pathways.
- Create structured partner account plans, executive engagement agendas, governance models, decision logs, and value-realization metrics.
- Monitor instrument roadmaps, assay menus, automation trends, low-volume sample requirements, and emerging technologies to inform LSM portfolio and innovation choices.
New Innovation Strategic Marketing
- Shape the commercial and ecosystem strategy for new innovations, with emphasis on chronic disease and wellness testing across decentralized and non-traditional collection settings.
- Map and prioritize the partner ecosystem across collection-device companies, instrument companies, reference laboratories, health systems, DTC and digital-health platforms, kitters, logistics providers, and payers.
- Lead customer and partner discovery to understand analyte priorities, sample-volume needs, tube and automation requirements, workflow constraints, patient experience, logistics, and commercialization barriers.
- Develop market segmentation, value propositions, market models, business cases, scenarios, and go-to-market recommendations for new collection and testing offerings.
- Design pilot and validation concepts with external partners and internal teams, with clear learning objectives, success metrics, decision gates, and scale-up implications.
- Identify market-shaping needs, including evidence, reimbursement, workflow standardization, partner enablement, and adoption barriers.
Strategic Analysis and Executive Decision Support
- Synthesize market, competitive, technical, financial, and customer data into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
- Build robust market-sizing, revenue, margin, investment, risk, and sensitivity analyses to support portfolio and partnership decisions.
- Develop concise executive narratives, strategy papers, partnership recommendations, and leadership-ready presentations.
- Establish KPIs that track partnership health, milestone delivery, commercial potential, strategic value, and learning velocity.
- Maintain a fact-based view of competitive moves and external developments in decentralized diagnostics, capillary sampling, automation, and at-home testing.
Cross-Functional Leadership and Execution
- Lead through influence across global and regional teams without relying on direct authority.
- Convert strategy into workplans, owners, milestones, governance, and escalation paths that maintain pace and accountability.
- Partner with Business Development and Legal on partnership structures, agreements, commercial rights, data and evidence access, and value realization.
- Represent BD credibly in external executive meetings, technical workshops, industry events, and partner negotiations.
- Coach and support team members involved in strategic marketing, market research, analytics, and partnership execution.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

- Experience translating market opportunities into strategies, business cases, partnership models, and execution plans.
- Experience working with technical, regulatory, clinical, and commercial stakeholders in a global matrixed organization.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
- Strategic and analytical rigor: able to structure complex questions, assess imperfect data, model scenarios, and identify the few insights that matter most.
- Partnership orientation: able to identify shared value, understand partner economics and incentives, and build trust across organizations.
- Diagnostics fluency: working understanding of the preanalytical-to-analytical workflow, including specimen collection, transport, processing, automation, analyzers, assays, laboratory operations, and regulatory considerations.
- Core laboratory ecosystem knowledge: strong understanding of major IVD companies, instrument platforms, laboratory automation, assay workflows, and the interaction between specimen collection systems and downstream analytical performance.
- External relationship building: demonstrated ability to establish and expand senior-level relationships across diagnostic companies and translate those relationships into strategic collaboration opportunities.
- Commercial acumen: strong grasp of market segmentation, value proposition development, pricing, go-to-market design, forecasting, and business-case development.
- Executive communication: exceptional written, verbal, presentation, and storytelling skills; able to make a clear recommendation and explain the supporting logic.
- Influence and collaboration: proven ability to align senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams across competing priorities.
- Learning agility: curiosity and willingness to go deep on new technologies, workflows, markets, and partner business models.
- Execution discipline: strong program management, prioritization, follow-through, and accountability in a fast-moving environment.
- Comfort with ambiguity: able to create structure, maintain momentum, and make sound recommendations before every variable is known.
- Global mindset and willingness to travel domestically and internationally up to approximately 20-25%.

Search Marketing Communications Consultant Jobs in New JerseyMarketing Communications Consultant Jobs in New Jersey: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in New Jersey sponsor visas for marketing communications consultants?
New Jersey's pharmaceutical corridor is the most active source of sponsorship for marketing communications consultants, with companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Novo Nordisk, Bayer, and Pfizer regularly filing for communications and marketing roles. Consumer goods firms like Church & Dwight and financial services employers in Newark and Jersey City also sponsor. Sponsorship is most common at mid-to-large employers with established HR and immigration infrastructure.
Which visa types realistically fit marketing communications consultant roles in New Jersey?
The H-1B visa is the most common path, treating marketing communications consulting as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, or a related field. Australian nationals may qualify for the E-3 visa, and Chilean and Singaporean nationals for the H-1B1 visa, both of which also require a specialty occupation. F-1 students can work via OPT while seeking full sponsorship. A green card through PERM labor certification is an option for longer-term placements.
How to find marketing communications consultant visa sponsorship jobs in New Jersey?
Migrate Mate lists marketing communications consultant roles at New Jersey employers with verified visa sponsorship history, searchable by city and role type. Because sponsorship filings are concentrated among pharma, consumer goods, and financial services employers in the state, narrowing your search to those sectors on Migrate Mate helps identify companies already familiar with the H-1B and E-3 process for communications roles specifically.
Which cities in New Jersey have the most marketing communications consultant sponsorship jobs?
Princeton and its surrounding Mercer County corridor generate the highest concentration of sponsorship activity, driven by pharmaceutical and biotech headquarters. Newark and Jersey City, with proximity to New York City's financial and media sectors, produce consistent demand. Parsippany-Troy Hills and Bridgewater are also active, hosting regional headquarters for multinational consumer goods and healthcare companies that regularly hire marketing communications professionals.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for marketing communications consultants in New Jersey?
New Jersey's dense pharmaceutical and life sciences industry creates steady demand for marketing communications consultants who can translate technical product information for healthcare audiences, a specialization that strengthens specialty occupation arguments for H-1B petitions. Rutgers University and several private colleges in the state also supply a consistent pipeline of communications graduates, meaning employers here tend to be more experienced with student-to-visa transitions than employers in less college-dense markets.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored marketing communications consultant jobs in New Jersey?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
