Where others see challenges, we see opportunities that we pursue with urgency, rigorous science, and unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. We are a clinical-stage company currently focused on post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH), Wolfram syndrome, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Our mission is powered by our people. Our core values - be audacious, be curious, be authentic, be engaged, and be accountable - creating a culture of caring. Amylyx has assembled an experienced team ready to take action because the communities we serve have no time to wait. If you share our passion and are determined to tackle some of medicine's toughest problems, we encourage you to read the opportunity below and apply.

The Opportunity

The Senior Director of Patient Services will play a critical role in shaping how Amylyx supports patients throughout their treatment journey. This leader will design, build, and launch a best-in-class patient support program for our lead product candidate, ensuring that it reflects a commitment to supporting patient access, education, and operational excellence.

This individual will bring strategic vision and hands on leadership to create an integrated support program-from access and reimbursement solutions to patient education and on-treatment support. As a key leader in the commercial organization, this individual will partner with colleagues across market access, sales, and marketing, as well as cross functionally, to ensure a seamless and high impact customer experience.

  • Evaluate, contract, and manage third-party service providers, ensuring strong governance, performance accountability, and alignment with business objectives
  • Establish compliant oversight across hub services and all patient-facing operations in close partnership with Legal, Compliance, and Medical Affairs
  • Define KPIs, dashboards, and feedback loops to drive performance, transparency, and continuous improvement across service operations
  • Serve as the operational lead for launch readiness and ongoing execution by identifying access barriers, leading cross-functional issue resolution, and aligning with Commercial, Market Access, Sales, Medical Affairs, IT, and National Accounts teams
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree required, advanced degree in a related health or business field preferred
  • 12+ years of experience in biopharmaceutical patient support services, including product launch and rare disease product access

  • Proficiency in analytics and reporting for service programs and pharmacy data
  • Knowledge of compliance and regulatory requirements for patient support programs
  • Ability to communicate program objectives, launch plans, and performance effectively to internal stakeholders
  • Proven people management experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing teams
  • Demonstrated leadership of cross-functional teams in fast-paced, launch-focused environments
  • An unwavering dedication to patient access and empowering the teams responsible for delivering it
