Overview

The Executive Director, Forecasting and Portfolio Analytics will serve as the enterprise lead for commercial forecasting, portfolio analytics, and decision support at Iovance Biotherapeutics. As a core member of the Business Analytics & Insights Leadership team, this role is accountable for delivering high‑quality near‑term and long‑term global forecasts, scenario analyses, and enterprise insights that inform commercial strategy, investment decisions, and long‑range planning and governance discussions with Executive Leadership and the Board of Directors.

This is a highly hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical expertise and direct ownership of forecasting and analytical work. The Executive Director is expected to be accountable for the design, build and stewardship of core forecasting models and decision-support analyses, ensuring rigorous assumptions, transparency, and confidence in outputs.
