Job Description

At Jazz Pharmaceuticals, our strategy is bold and clear: to transform the lives of patients by delivering innovative therapies in our core strategic areas, including epilepsy, sleep, oncology, and rare disease.

The Global Pricing & Access (GP&A) team is responsible for integrating payer value requirements, pricing corridor logic, and market access strategies into early-stage pipeline assets and clinical trial design to maximize global commercial success.

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Manager, Global Pricing & Access who is excited about the Jazz vision and ready to join a fast-paced environment to do challenging, impactful work that could transform Jazz's pipeline trajectory.

In this role, you will support our efforts to shape and execute global pricing and access strategies across Jazz's core therapeutic pipeline areas—including Oncology (hematology and solid tumors), EMD (Epilepsy & Movement Disorders), and Sleep (rare sleep disorders)—as well as external assets being evaluated for licensing or acquisition. This is a high-visibility, hands-on position offering a steep learning curve, acting as a key liaison with regional market access colleagues, and representing Pricing & Access within Commercial Functional Matrix Teams (FMTs).

· Pricing & Market Access Trend Evaluation: Continuously evaluate emerging global market pricing & access dynamics, reimbursement trends, formulary management practices, U.S. PBM/payer coverage tiers, contracting/rebate dynamics, and institutional access pathways to evaluate implications on ROI and refine pricing and access assumptions for pipeline and in-line assets.

· Competitor Intelligence & Scenario Planning: Monitor competitor pricing, access, and commercialization activities, incorporating anticipated market actions into pricing strategies, forecast assumptions, and scenario planning.

· Quantitative Financial Modeling: Develop and maintain advanced pricing and access models, including price elasticity assessments, gross-to-net (GTN) estimates, revenue erosion forecasts, and pricing scenario evaluations.

· Legislative Policy Impact Assessment: Assess the impact of evolving global legislative, regulatory, and reimbursement policies—including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Medicare Best Price rules, European Joint HTA regulations, and other market-specific pricing reforms—on short- and long-term pricing, access, and financial forecasts.

Pipeline Cross-Functional Matrix Management (Oncology, EMD, Sleep)

· Support global pricing and access partnership with the US Market Access Commercial Teams and EUR/INT Teams, maintaining structured collaboration across three key franchises – Oncology, EMD (Epilepsy & Movement Disorders), Sleep (Narcolepsy)

· Advise FMT on the access/payer perspective on trial endpoints, active comparators, utilization management policies, competitive landscape dynamics, and evidence generation that supports specialty/orphan pricing and global access risks accounting for global access dynamics

· Support the global pricing & access strategy’s proactive efforts to advise on pricing and access risks for pipeline assets with collaboration with R&D, Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, Global Strategic Market Insights (GSMI), and Global Value/HEOR to integrate payer requirements into Phase 2b/3 trial designs, active comparator selections, Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), and Quality-of-Life (QoL) endpoints and advise on evidence packages that meet global reimbursement standards.

New Product Planning (NPP) Pricing Support:

· In-Licensing & M&A Evaluations: Partner closely with New Product Planning (NPP) and Corporate Development teams supporting global pricing, market access and GTN evaluations for targeted in-licensing opportunities, and M&A activities.
