This is what you will do:

The Director, Strategic Pricing Management will shape US pricing strategies for pipeline and in-line products across Alexion’s rare disease portfolio.

• Evaluating value-based agreement opportunities and other innovative pricing approaches.
• Creating clear recommendations for senior leaders and influencing decisions across cross-functional and global forums.

You will need to have at minimum:

We would prefer you to have:

• Advanced degree, such as a master’s, MBA, PhD, JD, or PharmD.
• 10+ years of relevant biopharma experience, including product launch experience.
• Experience pricing rare disease or specialty therapies with complex reimbursement dynamics.
• Advanced pricing or revenue analytics experience, including GTN forecasting, price-volume analysis, government pricing assessments, or value-based agreement modeling.
