Associate Director, Value & Access Strategy - Skeletal Conditions

Job Description

Our client focuses on developing first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and life-threatening rare genetic diseases.

Overview:

We are seeking a US Market Access Launch Readiness Support Contractor to shape and deliver critical pre-launch market access deliverables for the Hypochondroplasia (HCH) launch, while ensuring strategic alignment across our broader skeletal conditions portfolio, including Achondroplasia (ACH). This is a high-impact role demanding both strategic thinking and disciplined execution. As a key partner to the Senior Director, you will provide coordination oversight, cross-functional leadership, and direct execution accountability to secure Day-1 access for Voxzogo in the HCH indication.

Core Responsibilities:

• 1. Launch Readiness Project Management
  • Orchestrate the US Market Access HCH Launch workplan, driving milestone accountability across all workstreams - from payer readiness to Day-1 patient support services activation.
  • Actively manage the launch critical path, identifying execution risks and leading mitigation efforts to protect Day-1 access commitments.
  • Serve as the central coordination point across internal teams and external partners, ensuring workstream interdependencies are visible and managed proactively.
  • Maintain a launch readiness dashboard to provide real-time visibility into workstream progress, milestone status, and risk flags, enabling rapid decision-making.
• 2. Payer Value & Asset Development
  • Support the development and refinement of the Pre-Approval Payer Value Deck, synthesizing complex clinical and economic evidence into a clear, compelling narrative for payer engagements to ensure payer readiness.
  • Manage the end-to-end MMRC/PRB submission and review process for all payer-facing HCH assets.
  • Support strategic material development, logistical oversight, and insight synthesis for the upcoming Payer Ad Board in collaboration with external vendors and internal stakeholders.
• 3. Launch Readiness Pull-through
  • Oversee operational alignment across V&A Strategy, Patient Support Services, Pricing & Contracting, and Distribution Channels team to ensure frictionless access for providers and patients upon product launch.
  • Oversee pull-through readiness across payers, providers, hubs, specialty pharmacies, and distributors - ensuring no gaps at the point of patient access.
  • Serve as a hands-on strategic resource for ad-hoc initiatives as they emerge across the launch lifecycle, flexing capacity to address high-priority needs across market access workstreams in real time.
