Job Description:
Johnson & Johnson is currently recruiting the best talent for a Director, Congresses and Campaigns. This position will sit in our New Brunswick, NJ office on a hybrid work schedule.
Key Responsibilities
The Director, Congresses and Campaigns will lead global strategy, planning, and execution for priority scientific congresses and integrated campaigns across Innovative Medicine. Positioned within the Performance Accelerator, this role ensures that major moments of external visibility—such as medical congresses, disease awareness initiatives, and multi‑market campaigns—are strategically aligned, operationally efficient, and implemented with consistency and impact across geographies.
This leader partners with Therapeutic Area teams, Public Affairs, and regional CPA leads to elevate execution quality while reducing duplication and complexity.
The Director, Congresses and Campaigns exists to drive strategic consistency, scale, and execution excellence for major external moments—such as global congresses and integrated campaigns—across therapeutic areas and geographies. This role does not replace Therapeutic Area ownership of scientific content, disease narratives, or collaborator priorities, but instead provides central strategy, frameworks, toolkits, and orchestration to ensure that congresses and campaigns are aligned, impactful, and efficiently driven worldwide. By standardizing approaches and enabling reuse of high‑value assets, the role allows TA teams and markets to focus on content depth and local relevance while benefiting from a coordinated, enterprise‑level execution model.
The Director, Congresses and Campaigns is the DRI for global congress and campaign strategy, execution frameworks, asset models, and governance, including the orchestration of priority global moments. Therapeutic Area teams are the DRIs for scientific strategy, disease‑specific narratives, and content direction, while regional and market teams are accountable for local execution and stakeholder engagement. The Congresses and Campaigns lead owns how major moments are structured, enabled, and amplified globally, not the ownership of TA content or local delivery.
Lead global congress and campaign strategy for priority therapeutic areas and enterprise initiatives.
Develop standardized congress and campaign playbooks, asset frameworks, and execution models.
Partner with Therapeutic Area Communications and Medical Affairs to shape scientific and narrative strategy for major congresses.
Coordinate with HUB capabilities to deliver integrated media, digital, issues, and measurement support.
Enable markets with adaptable toolkits and guidance to ensure consistent and compliant execution.
Find opportunities to amplify impact across channels and partners through coordinated campaigns.
Capture insights and performance data from congresses and campaigns to inform continuous improvement.
Serve as a strategic advisor to CPA leadership on prioritization of high‑impact external moments.
**Qualifications **
Education: Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s degree preferred.
Experience and Skills:
Minimum of 12 years of experience in communications, campaigns, or external engagement
Demonstrated experience leading global congress or large‑scale campaign programs
Strong understanding of scientific, medical, and policy‑adjacent communications environments
Ability to manage complex, cross‑functional programs across regions
Strong influencing, planning, and execution capabilities
Other: Up to 25% travel
