You will collaborate to develop the evidence package used by payers and other Health Technology Assessment bodies to support both the pre-launch and launch stage of reimbursement process. In the pre-launch phase, you will work to identify evidence gaps and data sources, design and execute evidence generation plans, and conduct analyses to address molecule and disease area questions to inform access and the broader integrated business. You will also contribute to functional, cross-functional, enterprise-wide or external initiatives that shape our business and healthcare environments including the application of novel methodologies used to support HTA decision-making.
