Head of Consumer Healthcare

About the role

We are hiring a Head of Consumer Healthcare to run a portfolio of international consumer healthcare and personal care brands as a business, with full ownership of its strategy, P&L, principal relationships, field execution and team. This is a general‑management role reporting to the CEO & Group Managing Director, not a functional marketing or sales position.

Key responsibilities

• Own the P&L: business plan, pricing, margin, promotional spend and profitability by brand.
• Manage principals as business partners: set targets, co‑invest, negotiate commercial terms.
• Drive execution across pharmacy retail, e‑commerce and medical promotion, verified in the field and in the data.
• Lead a modern, consumer‑centric marketing approach across digital, content and influencer activity, measuring return on every activation.
• Own the sales forecast and keep inventory healthy with Supply Chain.
• Lead and develop the brand, commercial and marketing teams.

Required profile

• 8–12 years in consumer healthcare, personal care, FMCG or pharma, including 3–4 years owning a P&L or comparable general‑management role.
• Experience managing both the pharmacy channel and promotion to healthcare professionals.
• Financial command: margin analysis, budgets and return on spend.
• Proven record in modern marketing: digital, consumer journey, influencer and KOL strategy.
• Track record of leading teams through clear KPIs and accountability.
• Fluent Arabic and English; French an advantage.

What we offer

• Run a business with real authority over its strategy and results.
• Direct access to the CEO and strong backing from the group.
• Investment in commercial capabilities, systems and distribution.
