At Novocure, we are pioneering Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) – a non-invasive cancer therapy designed to disrupt tumor cell division and extend survival in some of the most aggressive forms of cancer. Every role here contributes to improving the lives of people living with cancer.

 

We are seeking a Director of Portfolio Strategy based in Baar, Switzerland, who will be leading through complexity, creating structure from ambiguity, and driving data-backed strategic decisions. This is a hands-on leadership role for an individual ready to act as a portfolio lifecycle leader, integrating cross-functional insights to shape our future pipeline and optimize the performance of our existing portfolio.

 

In this role, you will:

  • Lead the strategic management of Novocure’s product and indication portfolio across Regulatory, Market Access, Clinical, and Preclinical functions.
  • Develop and operationalize portfolio strategies that balance scientific innovation, commercial opportunity, and resource optimization.
  • Partner with senior leaders to define priorities across multiple indications and lifecycle stages, driving evidence-based decision-making.
  • Establish frameworks and governance processes that enhance portfolio visibility, alignment, and agility.
  • Drive integration of early and late-stage development activities to ensure continuity from concept through commercialization.
  • Provide structure, clarity, and focus in a fast-paced, evolving environment where immediate contribution is expected.

 

What we’re looking for:

  • 8+ years of experience in portfolio strategy, lifecycle management, or integrated product leadership within pharma, biotech, or medical device sectors.
  • Strong background in oncology is highly preferred, given the strategic complexity and therapeutic focus of Novocure’s portfolio.
  • Proven ability to manage complexity, balancing scientific, regulatory, and commercial dimensions.
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking, with comfort operating in data-driven, evidence-based decision environments.
  • Experience leading cross-functional initiatives across Regulatory, Market Access, Clinical, and Preclinical teams.
  • Demonstrated success introducing structure, frameworks, and prioritization processes in high-growth or transformation contexts.
  • Exceptional communication and influencing skills; capable of leading without authority in a global matrixed organization.
  • Comfortable taking initiative and building momentum rapidly.

At Novocure, you will work at the intersection of science, strategy, and innovation to transform how cancer is treated. You will join a collaborative and courageous team that thrives in complexity and shares a clear purpose - to extend survival and improve the quality of life for patients living with cancer.
