Intern, US Marketing (MBA/Graduate Candidate)
About The Position
The BioMarin Summer Internship Program will enable students to gain valuable experience and knowledge of the processes and systems within BioMarin, while gaining an insight into the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Over the course of 10 - 12 weeks our interns gain industry experience while working alongside our talented team on meaningful projects. The Commercial organization leads our global sales and marketing strategies around the world. Our integrated team continues to solidify BioMarin’s commercial presence in the United States and Europe and is rapidly growing in other regions, such as Latin America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. The U.S. VOXZOGO marketing team (within the Skeletal Conditions Business Unit) supports this vision by developing and implementing brand strategies that drive growth. VOXZOGO is the first therapy approved for use in patients with achondroplasia, a rare disease that impacts thousands of children, adults and families around the world. BioMarin continues to develop VOXZOGO for potential new uses in other disease states. This internship offers a great opportunity to make a difference in the lives of patients by preparing for a potential indication launch. As a member of the US VOXZOGO Marketing team, this internship offers firsthand experience evaluating new business opportunities and working to deliver the right education to the right stakeholders—primarily caregivers and HCPs. This role provides an immersion in pharmaceutical marketing and this individual will work closely with marketing team members, as well as cross-functional partners such as Medical and field teams (sales, clinical coordinators).
