Job Title: Head of Marketing, Gold Bond

• Location: Morristown, NJ

About the Job

Gold Bond Co. is an independent subsidiary of Sanofi and a leading consumer brand competing in the dynamic and growing skin health and body care category across the United States. Built on a heritage of trusted consumer equity, Gold Bond's portfolio spans therapeutic skin care, body powder, and moisturization — representing a strategically important and high-potential growth platform with strong brand foundations and significant runway ahead.

The Head of Marketing, Gold Bond is a transformational leadership role requiring a proven change agent who can set bold vision, drive organizational capability-building, and deliver measurable commercial outcomes — from day one. This is not a role for someone who needs time to ramp up. The ideal candidate brings deep, battle-tested CPG marketing expertise, a mastery of ecommerce and digital transformation, and the executive presence to operate with confidence and credibility at the C-suite level — both within Gold Bond Co. and with Sanofi's parent organization.

This leader will own the full marketing agenda — brand positioning, consumer insights, integrated campaign execution, innovation pipeline development, P&L accountability, and omnichannel retail strategy — while serving as a key strategic voice on the Gold Bond leadership team. The role demands an individual who seamlessly balances long-term strategic vision with hands-on execution excellence, and who can inspire a high-performance team while navigating a highly integrated, cross-functional organization.

This leader will partner closely with the CEO, Head of Sales, R&D, Manufacturing & Supply, Strategy & Transformation COE, and Quality. The successful candidate will bring broad and deep marketing leadership experience, proven ecommerce and digital transformation credentials, P&L ownership at scale, and the leadership presence to energize an organization around a bold and compelling vision.

Join the team transforming how healthcare is delivered for chronic and specialty conditions worldwide. In General Medicines, you’ll help drive meaningful outcomes in diabetes, transplant, and immunology with the scale and urgency patients deserve.
