About The Position
As a privately-owned, biopharmaceutical company, Ferring pioneers and delivers life-changing therapies that help people build families and live better lives. Our independence helps us cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and long-term perspective that enables us to achieve growth and scale, while remaining agile and true to our ‘people first’ philosophy. Built on a 70-year plus commitment to science and research, Ferring is relentless in its pursuit of science that drives powerful discoveries and therapies to help people build families, stay healthy, and stand up to the world’s oldest enemy: disease. As a strategic lead within the Market Access team, you will drive pricing excellence for our product portfolio. This role is critical in navigating the complexities of both Medical (Part B / Buy-and-Bill) and Pharmacy (Part D / Commercial) benefits. You will serve as the analytical engine for the US Pricing Committee, providing the data-driven insights necessary to understand product distribution, market access, patient access and net revenue.
