About The Position

The Developmental Market Access & Policy Strategy Lead plays a critical upstream role in ensuring that pipeline and early-stage products are designed with successful U.S. market access, reimbursement, and policy outcomes in mind. Rather than reacting at launch, this role proactively shapes development strategy so that products enter the market with a clear, evidence-backed pathway to coverage and adoption. This position operates at the intersection of R&D, policy, and commercialization, translating complex payer, regulatory, and policy dynamics into actionable development guidance. The individual ensures that access considerations are embedded early, reducing downstream barriers, accelerating time to reimbursement, and supporting long-term product viability.
