The Opportunity :

The Chief Exports Officer (CXO) will be entrusted with the strategic and operational command of Venus's international commercial business, with a primary focus on driving tangible sales and P&L ownership. This pivotal role is central to achieving our ambitious global growth targets by not just identifying opportunities but by masterfully navigating the complex regulatory, procurement, and logistical landscapes inherent in the international pharmaceutical sector, especially for sterile injectables. The CXO will lead a high-performing global sales organization, ensuring that business development efforts translate into active, revenue-generating markets. You will harmonize cross-functional partnerships and elevate Venus's international business to new frontiers of scale, sophistication, and sustainable profitability by ensuring Marketing Authorizations (MAs) are actively commercialized and sales targets are met.

Key Responsibilities :

Driving Global Pharmaceutical Sales & Operational Excellence

Global Sales Execution & Commercial Strategy (Primary Focus) :

• Own full P&L accountability and drive sales revenue across all international markets (developed, semi-regulated, emerging), with a specific focus on maximizing returns from existing and new MAs.
• Define, cascade, and rigorously monitor quarterly and annual sales targets and market share objectives, ensuring direct alignment with corporate goals.
• Architect and execute continent-wise commercial strategies that address pharmaceutical-specific market access challenges (including local presence requirements, import / export controls, batch clearance / testing protocols), portfolio optimization (especially for sterile injectables), pricing dynamics, and diverse regulatory timelines.
• Leverage deep market intelligence (IMS, tender databases, competitive benchmarking) to guide proactive sales execution, not just opportunity identification.
• Deliver consistent growth through a mix of organic sales from existing MAs, strategic launches of new products, and effective lifecycle management of registered products to prevent dormant MAs.
