Legend Biotech is a global biotechnology company dedicated to treating, and one day curing, life-threatening diseases. Headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, we are developing advanced cell therapies across a diverse array of technology platforms, including autologous and allogenic chimeric antigen receptor T-cell, T-cell receptor (TCR-T), and natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy. From our three R&D sites around the world, we apply these innovative technologies to pursue the discovery of safe, efficacious and cutting-edge therapeutics for patients worldwide.   Legend Biotech entered into a global collaboration agreement with Janssen, one of the pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, to jointly develop and commercialize ciltacabtagene autolecuel (cilta-cel). Our strategic partnership is designed to combine the strengths and expertise of both companies to advance the promise of an immunotherapy in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Proactively identify risks, misalignments, or emerging strategic opportunities within collaborations and drive resolution or acceleration initiatives. Ensure open communication channels across both organizations and consistent partnership health tracking. Engagement & Communication: Drive engagement initiatives and forums - town halls, BU business reviews, culture initiatives, leader communications, and cross‑functional alignment sessions. Serve as a strategic advisor to the BU President on messaging, engagement cadence, and organizational pulse. Design and lead BU‑level internal communications strategy, ensuring clarity, transparency, and alignment from the President through LT‑1 and field/operational teams. Innovation & Strategy Acceleration: Partner with BU President & LT to shape and drive BU strategic initiatives, including transformation, digital capability scaling, operational innovation, and cross‑functional initiatives. Monitor industry trends (CAR‑T evolution, regulatory updates, partnership models) and translate insights into BU priorities.
