Leveraging its differentiated RAS(ON) tri-complex inhibitor platform, the company is advancing a broad, integrated portfolio of oral RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to directly target the active, cancer-driving state of RAS. Founded on rigorous scientific inquiry and a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, Revolution Medicines is committed to changing the trajectory of disease for patients with RAS-addicted cancers worldwide.

Our people are united by a shared way of working: follow the science, challenge assumptions, act with urgency and hold ourselves to a high standard of rigor—all in service of patients.

The Opportunity:

This is an opportunity to help build the launch excellence capability that enables Revolution Medicines to prepare for and execute global product launches with consistency, visibility, and discipline. We are seeking an experienced and highly collaborative Associate Director, Launch Excellence to manage assigned launches while supporting the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of the company’s global launch management approach.

This role sits within Global Commercialization Effectiveness & Operations. The Associate Director will serve as an operating partner in establishing launch standards, readiness processes, governance, tools, and reporting across the portfolio. In parallel, the role will provide hands-on project-management leadership for assigned global product launches.

For assigned launches, the Associate Director will support with the integrated launch plan from approximately T-24 months through six months post-launch, facilitate the Global Launch Strategy Team, and drive readiness, decisions, and execution across functions and regions. The role will work closely with Launch Excellence and Commercial Project Management leaders, and cross-functional teams to make launch-excellence capabilities practical, consistently used, and continuously improved.

Operating in a build-while-scaling environment, you will balance direct launch delivery with the development of scalable ways of planning, tracking, and managing launches across the portfolio.

What You’ll Do:

•
Lead end-to-end project management for assigned global product launches, from approximately T-24 months through six months post-launch.

•
Support the Global Launch Strategy Team for assigned assets, establishing clear governance, operating rhythms, decision-making forums, and accountability across launch workstreams.

•
Build, maintain, and drive execution against integrated launch plans that bring together Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Regulatory, Supply, Legal, Finance, Development, and regional stakeholders.

•
Manage launch milestones, critical paths, workstream deliverables, interdependencies, risks, issues, and key decisions; develop practical mitigation plans and escalate issues as appropriate.

•
Create and maintain launch-readiness assessments, dashboards, timelines, and executive-level reporting that provide transparent, actionable views of assigned launch status and health.

•
Partner with the Launch Excellence team to design and implement the global launch-excellence framework, including launch lifecycle standards, readiness criteria, governance, templates, tools, and operating rhythms.

•
Lead defined launch-excellence workstreams and capability-building initiatives, from problem definition through implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement.

•
Support the development and maintenance of standardized launch-readiness processes, integrated milestone frameworks, dashboards, and reporting that enable consistent visibility across priority launches.

•
Coordinate portfolio-level launch status, health, risks, dependencies, and key decisions in partnership with the Launch Excellence and Commercial Project Management leaders.

•
Prepare and facilitate launch-readiness reviews, governance forums, and working sessions for assigned launches and portfolio-level priorities; document decisions, actions, risks, and follow-up needed to keep work moving.

•
Work with cross-functional teams across Commercial, Medical, Market Access, Regulatory, Supply, Legal, Finance, Development, and regions to embed launch-excellence standards into day-to-day planning and execution.

•
Partner with enterprise Project Managers to apply launch-management tools, readiness assessments, and best practices across assets and to share practical problem-solving approaches.

•
Identify recurring gaps, process friction, and risks across launches; develop practical recommendations and improvement plans with the relevant stakeholders.

•
Capture launch learnings and post-launch insights and translate them into updates to launch methodology, tools, and training materials.

•
Contribute to onboarding, training, and change-manag
