Recruiting began after AMAG acquired the U.S. commercial rights to Intrarosa™, an FDA-approved product for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia (pain during intercourse). This acquisition required the creation of a new Women’s Health division within AMAG. Bowdoin was chosen because of its deep expertise in the Biopharmaceutical industry and its unique ability to hire at the executive level and to build out commercial teams. Together with the AMAG team, Bowdoin hired 165 exceptional candidates as Area Executive Directors, Regional Sales Directors, Specialty Account Representatives, Managed Care, and Marketing leadership in just four short months.
Executive Director of Human Resources at AMAG, Barry Rubenstein, describes the high level of service Bowdoin provided during this extensive project. “This expansion could not have been possible without Bowdoin,” said Rubenstein, “Bowdoin seamlessly integrated with AMAG’s leadership team to help us hire excellent talent for our new division. In addition to leading all sourcing and recruiting efforts, Bowdoin provided logistical support for the interview process, which included scheduling, making travel arrangements, and coordinating recruiting events across the country, which allowed our team to solely focus on meeting the best candidates in the talent pool.”
In regards to this recent success, The Bowdoin Group Founder and CEO, David Melville, commented, “AMAG is ambitiously growing, and we’re thrilled to have been a part of building their Women’s Health division—the team is going to do great things. This project required flawless execution to meet the tight time frame between AMAG’s acquisition of Intrarosa and the expected commercialization of the product. Being part of building this division from its inception was a privilege, and we’re excited to see what its future holds.”
