Director, HEOR Therapeutic Area Lead (Acromegaly)

Crinetics Pharmaceuticals•Headquarters, KY

1d•$196,000 - $245,000•Onsite

About The Position

Crinetics is a pharmaceutical company based in San Diego, California, developing much-needed therapies for people with endocrine diseases and endocrine-related tumors. We have a prolific discovery engine and a robust preclinical and clinical development pipeline. We are driven by science with a patient-centric and team-oriented culture. Crinetics is known for its inclusive workplace culture. We are also a dog-friendly workplace. This is an exciting time to join Crinetics as we shape our organization into the world’s premier fully integrated endocrine company from discovery to patients. Join our team as we transform the lives of others. The Director, HEOR/RWE Therapeutic Area (TA) Lead — Paltusotine (Acromegaly) is the stakeholder-facing HEOR/RWE owner for the acromegaly franchise. As Crinetics' lead product, PALSONIFY™ (paltusotine), moves through launch and lifecycle management in acromegaly, this role defines the therapeutic-area evidence strategy — the value story, evidence gaps, and HEOR/RWE priorities — and partners with Medical Affairs, Market Access, Commercial, Clinical Development, and Patient Advocacy to anchor that evidence to launch, access, and lifecycle decisions. The TA Lead does not execute studies directly; working with the Senior Director, Paltusotine Program, the Director translates acromegaly evidence questions into prioritized plans and directs the HEOR/RWE Centers of Excellence (RWE, PRO/COA, Modeling & Simulation, Advanced Analytics) to deliver them. This role is accountable for a coherent, payer-, HTA-, and access-ready value story for acromegaly across the product lifecycle. Reporting to the Senior Director, HEOR/RWE Head of the Paltusotine Program, the Director runs the acromegaly indication in consistency with the overall Paltusotine value story.
