As the Associate Marketing Manager, Market & Competitive Intelligence (MICI) for the Global Infusion Therapies & Technologies (ITT) division, you are the strategic engine behind our understanding of markets, competition, and future opportunities. You will own the development of global market models, competitive intelligence frameworks, and insight platforms that guide upstream marketing, portfolio prioritization, innovation investments, and executive decision‑making.

You will partner closely with global marketing, regional commercial teams, R&D, strategy, and finance to deliver insights that influence Baxter’s portfolio direction across a $4B global business.

• Build robust top‑down and bottom‑up forecasts integrating third‑party data, regional inputs, customer insight, and macro‑market indicators.
• Conduct scenario modeling to evaluate the impact of regulatory, clinical, competitive, or economic shifts on future market outlooks.
• Own the long‑range market outlook to support strategic planning, portfolio prioritization, and financial modeling across global teams.
• Create clear, executive‑ready deliverables that translate complex data into strategic insight and recommendations.

• Produce concise, high‑impact MICI deliverables for senior leadership—including dashboards, intelligence briefs, and competitive deep‑dives.
• Drive the development, standardization, and automation of MICI reporting tools and platforms (e.g., SharePoint‑based dashboards).
• Partner with regional and upstream marketing teams to translate intelligence into actionable recommendations.

Strategic Insight & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with upstream teams to develop TAM/SAM models, opportunity assessments, segmentation analyses, and early‑stage business cases.
• Facilitate alignment of market‑driven insights across regions and functions to ensure a unified view of strategic priorities.
• Influence pipeline decisions by synthesizing market and competitive insights into clear recommendations for NPD, lifecycle planning, and portfolio strategy.
• Lead the digital transformation of existing manual or offline reporting processes to ensure modern, scalable, and user‑friendly tools.
• Enhance data accessibility and visualization through platforms such as Power BI, Tableau, and SharePoint.
• Build repeatable reporting frameworks and dashboards that allow global teams to self‑serve insights.

You can make sense of ambiguous data, uncover trends others miss, and communicate insights clearly to senior audiences. You are highly collaborative, value diverse perspectives, and influence effectively across a matrixed organization. You enjoy transforming complexity into clarity and guiding cross‑functional teams toward confident, data‑driven decisions.

What you Bring
