HEVA Publications Lead Specialty Care

Job Title: HEVA Publications Lead Specialty Care

Location: Cambridge, MA or Morristown, NJ

About the Job

Globally, evidence-driven, population-based health technology assessment (HTA) organizations and other population-focused healthcare decision makers systematically review, synthesize, and appraise the quality and relevance of evidence on the value of Sanofi’s products versus comparator treatments and determine levels of access to patients and providers and reimbursement. 

In this context, it is critical that pharmaceutical manufacturers generate and effectively communicate relevant real world clinical and health economic evidence in systematic and customized ways to meet the needs of evidence evaluators across the spectrum of decision makers. 

A strong HEVA Communications capability must include targeted strategy and activities governing the planned content of scientific communications, the ability to shape compelling value propositions, appreciation of the capabilities of different roles to communicate HEVA evidence, and innovative use of communication channels.  

The scope of HEVA’s communication strategy and tactics must begin in the early development environment and continue with a strong post-marketing, lifecycle management plan, to ensure that an effective product value proposition (“value story”) is present at launch and direction is established for the evolution of the value proposition in the post-launch real world setting.  

The HEVA Communications Leader leads the development and execution of HEVA’s communications strategy and tactics across the HEVA platform and collaborates with partners in different components of Sanofi to establish a unified capability and ensure that HEVA contributes effectively to diverse relevant decision maker segments.   This leadership role supports the overall HEVA mission of conducting, communicating, and translating evidence to demonstrate the value of Sanofi’s products in real world settings and support optimal access and treatment outcomes for patients.  The responsibility requires deep understanding of scientific communications planning and capabilities.  Thus, the role draws upon multiple leadership competencies and behaviors: Thinking Strategically, Make Decisions, Lead Teams, Act for Change, Cooperate Transversally, and Commitment to Customers.

The HEVA Communication Leader is responsible for ensuring an exceptional communications strategy, process, and customized capability in six (6) domains.  In each case, it is expected that the Leader will coordinate effectively with key partners in different components of the Sanofi organization.

We are an innovative global healthcare company, committed to transforming the lives of people with immune challenges, rare diseases and blood disorders, cancers, and neurological disorders. From R&D to sales, our talented teams work together, revolutionizing treatment, continually improving products, understanding unmet needs, and connecting communities. We chase the miracles of science every single day, pursuing progress to make a real impact on millions of patients around the world.
