**Description de l'emploi :** The Senior Vice President Global Assets Lead Dysport Therapeutic & IPN10200 Tx is the single point of accountability for Ipsen’s therapeutic neuromodulator portfolio, integrating leadership of:

• Dysport Therapeutics (Tx) — a globally established brand in spasticity, cervical dystonia, and potentially chronic migraine.
• IPN10200 Therapeutics (Tx) — a next‐generation neurotoxin currently in Phase II.

This newly created role reflects Ipsen’s transition to a unified, enterprise‐level therapeutic leadership model. The VP sets the long‐term strategy, drives execution across development, evidence, access, operations, and commercialization, and ensures value maximisation across both assets while providing high‐visibility leadership to the Executive Leadership Team.

The role combines two distinct accountabilities under a single senior leader:

• Dysport Therapeutic (Tx) — Global Asset Lead: Accountable for the full strategic, clinical, medical, access, operational, and commercial trajectory of a global, commercialised asset with active lifecycle expansion, including the major planned indication expansion in migraine.
• IPN10200 Therapeutic (Tx) — Global Asset Lead: Accountable for building a differentiated, insight‐driven early global brand strategy and shaping the future value of an innovative Phase II molecule, ensuring the foundation for a best‐in‐class global launch as the asset advances to late‐stage development.

This is the first role within Ipsen’s Asset‐Centric Model to combine leadership of two therapeutic assets, reflecting the strategic importance and interdependency of Dysport and IPN10200. Through unified and disciplined leadership, the VP ensures single‐point accountability for strategy, performance, and governance across both assets, connecting strategic direction, planning, and execution seamlessly across R&D, Medical, Commercial, Market Access, Tech Ops, and Regions/Affiliates.
