About The Position

Madrigal is a biopharmaceutical company pursuing novel therapeutics for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), also known as metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

The role of the Access Reimbursement Manager (ARM) is to minimize access and reimbursement barriers for patients and providers related to Resmetirom.

The ARM is expected to have a deep working knowledge of both public and private payer policies within their market, as it relates to Resmetirom coverage and access.
