• Conduct in-depth analyses of the Swiss healthcare and reimbursement environment to guide strategic decisions.
• Contribute to local value propositions and provide input into global evidence generation plans
• Develop and implement negotiation strategies and stakeholder engagement approaches
• Monitor payer trends, policy changes, and competitor activities affecting access and reimbursement
• Identify and leverage innovative access models and real-world evidence (RWE) to support decision-making
