Director – Market Access Pipeline & Readiness

Build our future together:

This role requires a skilled strategist with excellent leadership capabilities to shape the direction of multiple pipeline assets. You will represent the payer voice for the assets you cover and will be accountable to define (and prepare for) successful reimbursement and patient access.

This role is part of the Market Access Pipeline & Readiness Team, which is part of the Market Access Business Unit. We are seeking a highly collaborative individual who will work cohesively within the cross-functional team that includes New Product (marketing), HEOR, Medical Affairs, Clinical and Regulatory. For programs that are nearing launch you will serve as the nexus between these stakeholders and other functions within the Inline Market Access Business Unit (Trade, Patient Support, Pricing) to ensure our launch plans reflect their expertise – ultimately leading to a smooth transition for launch.

Considering the growing Regeneron pipeline, company expansion and collaboration announcements, this role requires you to be comfortable operating autonomously within a growing and evolving company. You will be expected to proactively identify and resolve the opportunities and challenges to achieve the desired business objectives. This includes a commitment to working well together, which is a core value at Regeneron.
