Customer-Facing Strategy & Content Ownership

• Own development of all market access customer-facing materials and communications (payer, HCP, GPO, field access, patient support)
• Ensure messaging is clear, differentiated, and aligned to value drivers and reimbursement realities
• Lead content through Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) review with strong command of compliance requirements
• Build tools and resources that enable field teams to effectively communicate coverage, access, and patient support offerings

Payer Engagement & Access Pull-Through

• Develop and execute payer engagement strategies, including advisory boards, market research, and targeted initiatives
• Drive pull-through strategies that translate coverage decisions into real-world utilization and patient access
• Support development of business cases and value narratives to inform access opportunities and trade-offs
• Monitor and communicate coverage, policy changes, and reimbursement dynamics to inform strategy and field execution

Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

• Lead planning, execution, and performance tracking of key access initiatives with clear KPIs and accountability
• Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve processes, tools, and execution speed
• Operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment with competing priorities and tight timelines
• Bring forward solutions and recommendations-demonstrating ownership, initiative, and problem-solving mindset

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MPH, PharmD) preferred
• 8+ years of pharmaceutical/biotech experience, including direct Market Access Marketing experience (required)
• Demonstrated ability to own and lead access strategy and execution independently in a complex, cross-functional environment
• Deep understanding of payer landscape, reimbursement dynamics, patient services, and access barriers (e.g., step edits, prior authorizations, hubs)
• Experience in oncology and/or specialty markets with access complexity strongly preferred
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority
• Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities
