• AMNOG & Reimbursement: Lead the end-to-end AMNOG dossier development (strategy, data analysis, value argumentation, comparator strategy, and clinical evidence assessment). Support all AMNOG procedures (G-BA consultations, statements, hearings, price negotiations) and create compelling payer value propositions tailored to the German market.
• Market Insights & Strategy: Generate access insights and payer perspectives to inform product strategy, forecasting, launch readiness, and long-term planning. Analyze healthcare policy and pricing developments to provide actionable business recommendations.
• Project Leadership & Tool Development: Lead cross-functional access and pricing workstreams, ensuring alignment and execution. Develop, optimize, and maintain business cases, access/funding models, pricing tools, reimbursement trackers, and digital decision-support resources.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain productive relationships with payer experts, healthcare decision-makers, and external advisors. Organize advisory boards and collaborate with the Field teams to support account work.
• Operational Pricing: Manage local pricing activities, including database maintenance, governance, launch assumptions, and lifecycle price changes. Act as the primary liaison with Global and Finance teams, and provide input for business reviews.
• Digital & AI Innovation: Leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, and digital technologies to enhance evidence synthesis, dossier development, competitive intelligence, and overall operational efficiency.
• Global Alignment: Collaborate with global colleagues to ensure local market access requirements are integrated into development programs and evidence-generation activities.

You will need to have:

• Advanced degree in Life Sciences, Medicine, Epidemiology, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of significant experience in pharmaceutical/biotech Market Access, Pricing & Reimbursement, or specialized Market Access consultancy.

• Strong track record in operational pricing processes, launch pricing preparation, governance, and lifecycle price management.
• Proven ability to operate within matrix organizations, actively serving on Brand/Launch Teams and collaborating with Global organizations.
• Exceptional project leadership skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and stakeholders without direct authority to deliver measurable business outcomes.
