Director, Corporate Communications

Director, Corporate Communications
Hybrid / Full Time – Wayne, PA

At Novocure, we’re working to extend the lives of patients battling some of the most aggressive cancers. Every role here contributes to that mission – and as Director, Corporate Communications, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how Novocure communicates the value, science, and impact of our therapies to patients, healthcare professionals, media, and other key stakeholders. This is a highly visible position that sits at the intersection of communications, marketing, medical affairs, and business strategy.

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced communications leader to drive U.S. Product Communications across Novocure’s oncology portfolio, including Optune Gio®, Optune Lua®, and future growth opportunities. This role will serve as the communications partner to U.S. commercial and medical teams, developing and executing strategic programs that support product awareness, scientific data communications, media engagement, advocacy initiatives, and key business milestones.

This is not a traditional corporate communications role. We are looking for someone with deep product communications experience in a regulated healthcare environment who can quickly become a trusted advisor to cross‑functional teams and operate independently in a fast‑paced, high‑impact setting. The ideal candidate has experience supporting marketed or late‑stage products, translating complex scientific information into compelling narratives, and driving communications strategies that align with broader business objectives.

What You’ll Do

Develop and execute comprehensive U.S. product communication strategies supporting Novocure’s oncology portfolio

Partner closely with Commercial, Medical Affairs, Legal, Investor Relations, and Corporate Communications teams to align messaging and priorities

Support communication of clinical data, regulatory milestones, scientific congresses, and other key product‑related events

Develop high‑quality communication materials, including annual plans, press releases, messaging frameworks, Q&A documents, executive talking points, and media assets

Build relationships with media and external stakeholders while identifying opportunities for proactive earned media engagement

Collaborate with U.S. product teams to understand brand strategies and recommend communications programs that support business objectives

Support patient advocacy and stakeholder engagement initiatives related to product communications

Ensure consistency and accuracy across all communication channels and audiences

Manage external agency partners and vendors to deliver high‑quality communication programs

Contribute to internal communications initiatives and help strengthen collaboration across the organization

Serve as a trusted communications advisor capable of independently managing communications needs and opportunities as they arise

About You
You are a strategic communicator who understands how to translate complex science into meaningful stories. You thrive in environments where priorities shift rapidly, collaboration is essential, and communication can influence business outcomes.

You bring deep product communication expertise, strong business acumen, and the confidence to engage with senior leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders. You are comfortable operating independently, balancing strategic planning with hands‑on execution, and finding creative ways to elevate product visibility in a highly regulated industry.

Minimum Qualifications

How You’ll Work

Hybrid work model with regular collaboration in our Wayne, PA office (typically 2–3 days per week)

Partner directly with U.S. commercial and medical teams to support business‑critical communications initiatives

Work closely with senior leadership and cross‑functional stakeholders across the organization
