Here’s what we’re looking for

You will have at least

• Bachelor’s degree in Health Economics, Business, Healthcare, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.

• 5-10 years of experience in market access, reimbursement, or a related field, with significant experience in the medical device industry.

• Proven ability to build and lead market access strategies from the ground up.

• Excellent communication and negotiation skills with a track record of successful stakeholder engagement.
