Role purpose
This role is critical to making sure patients can get and stay on their Immunology medicines. The leader builds new market access capabilities and innovations that help the Immunology portfolio grow over time.
The Market Access Special Project Leader owns complex, high-impact access work across the Immunology portfolio. This work covers launch operations, channel strategy, affordability solutions, and provider access tools and system innovations. Together, these build the channels, services and tools that remove barriers from the first prescription through ongoing therapy.
For each workstream, the leader scopes the problem, builds the solution and runs it until it delivers results. They then hand it off or take on the next priority, within or outside the business unit. They apply PRA expertise across channel, contracting, pricing, affordability, patient support, reimbursement and customer engagement. They lead through matrix teams across brand, HCO marketing, field, vendor and central teams.
