Global Access Strategy and Pricing Snr Manager (m/f/d), Pneumococcal Vaccines (Secondment - 12 Months)

WHY PATIENTS NEED YOU

Our focus is on patients and understanding the critical role our medicines play to produce better health outcomes. As a dynamic and cross-functional team of experts, we develop and implement comprehensive market access strategies by integrating pricing and reimbursement, health technology assessment, evidence-based medicine review, and health economic modeling activities. This position offers the opportunity to lead complex projects, influence decision-making, and contribute to groundbreaking advancements in patient care globally.

WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE

The Senior Manager, Pneumococcal Vaccines will sit within the One Pneumo (GASP PCV) team. Roughly half of the role owns the adult PCV access strategy workstream end-to-end — shaping value, access and pricing strategy for the in-line adult franchise (PCV20) and the next-generation adult asset (PG5). The other half drives local market access implementation — supporting country and cluster teams to translate global access strategy into executed, market-ready plans on the ground.

The Senior Manager owns a defined workstream and a defined market cluster, shaping strategy within those areas, leading cross-functional sub-teams through influence, and escalating material strategy shifts to the Senior Director. The role is the connective tissue between global adult strategy and local execution — ensuring adult access plans are competitive, locally relevant, and delivered.
