• Collaborate and align with Global Market Access and Global Pricing teams to plan for key internal milestones and inform stage gate decisions.

• Work with the VAP NPBD Director to generate insights that shape the evidence strategy for compounds, advising on clinical, economic, and humanistic evidence strategies to develop early value propositions and commercial plans.

• Assist the VAP NPBD Director in modeling pricing and contracting to inform and forecasts for pipeline and business development assets.

• Support the transition to Commercial Launch teams approximately 18-24 months pre-launch.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree required;

• Minimum of 5 years of relevant pharmaceutical experience with a thorough understanding of the pharmaceutical product lifecycle from discovery to launch, preferable in market access and/or pricing

• Strong data-based strategy and analytical skills, including market trends, pricing models, and GTN assumptions.

• In-depth knowledge of the U.S. Market Access environment, including the U.S. Payer System, MA Marketing & Field Teams, value drivers by channel or segment, pricing and contracting, trade and distribution, medical vs. pharmacy benefits, reimbursement, and patient access services.

• Experience working with diverse teams and cross-functionally (e.g., Medical Affairs, NP&BD, RWE and Clinical Teams).

• Ability to work independently and influence others with a collaborative leadership style.
