About The Position

The National Account Manager, Market Access Employer Engagement, is a strategic, external-facing member of US Market Access. Reporting to the Director, Employer Engagement - Obesity, this role leads engagement with a defined portfolio of jumbo employers and the organizations that shape their health-benefit decisions, including employer benefit consultants, coalitions, TPAs, PBMs, carriers, point-solution partners and, where relevant, IDNs. The Account Manager helps customers navigate evidence-based approaches to obesity and other Amgen therapeutic areas as assigned, with the goal of enabling appropriate patient access, sustainable benefit design and improved population-health outcomes. The position combines consultative account leadership with deep market access expertise. The Account Manager develops account strategies, uncovers customer needs and market barriers, coordinates compliant Amgen resources, and translates field insight into enterprise strategy, evidence generation, tools and launch readiness. Success is measured by the quality and strategic depth of customer engagement, access progress within priority accounts, actionable insight and cross-functional impact—not by traditional sales call activity alone.
