• Assist in proactively defining the required strategies to shape and influence the desired marketplace and facilitate the implementation of the plan greater than two years in advance of anticipated customer needs.
• Ensure the execution of reimbursement submissions and rebuttals at HTAs, provincial and hospital levels by supporting the building of high-quality value dossiers with medical, health economics, marketing, and provincial payer managers to include clinical dossiers, health economic budget impact models, and any evidence that can impact decisions.
• Utilize customer insights and input to elaborate new and innovative strategies with federal and provincial drug plans, cancer agencies, hospitals, and blood services to optimize reimbursement of Sanofi products and offerings in collaboration with the provincial payer manager, business intelligence, health economics, marketing, and pricing to optimize revenue for the brands.
• Collaborate with the Pricing team to develop sustainable business and achieve local and global approval of the pricing strategy for new products, taking into account the policy and political environment (payers, pCPA, PMPRB), the reimbursement challenges, and financial considerations.
• Work with product managers and financial analysts to generate forecasts, including market access projections and product penetration analysis. Ensure validation with provincial and private payer managers.
