Novartis

Director, Market Access Innovation

East Hanover, NJ

Job Description
Up to 27 potential launches expected in the next 5 years at Novartis. If serving patients is your passion - this may be the place for you! The Market Access team is looking for highly engaged strategic thinkers who will shape future commercialization of brands for Novartis and help improve the lives of patients. Do you want to be part of a team that puts patients first and puts a strong focus on customer-centric initiatives? We'd love to hear from you.

The US pharmaceutical market is large, profitable and still growing. The US healthcare system continues to advance regulatory approaches that favor innovation, including accelerated reviews for break-through therapies. The pharmaceutical pricing and market access environment, however, is under in-creasing pressure which is causing reductions in product uptake as well increases in rebated price con-cessions.
