Job description

The Sr Director will lead U.S. consumer pricing and non-reimbursed channel strategy and performance activities for MariTide, and the broader OaR strategy for future indications and assets.

  • Establish and lead consumer pricing governance, including a consumer price committee or equivalent forum, decision rights, escalation pathways, review cadence, scenario analyses and documentation for timely, compliant decisions.
  • Own launch and lifecycle consumer price, discount and offer strategy, including start-price recommendations, introductory and retention offers, channel-specific pricing principles and patient-segmentation guardrails; monitor performance and recommend adjustments.
  • Develop the negotiation framework for cash-channel partners, including commercial objectives, pricing and discount guardrails, economics, contractual principles, performance measures and renewal strategy; lead strategic negotiations as appropriate.
  • Define and manage the non-reimbursed channel gross-to-net and financial framework with Finance, Forecasting, Pricing & Contracting and Trade; quantify cash price, discounts, fees, service costs, product flow and channel economics to inform forecasts and decisions.
  • Partner with PAR, direct-to-patient, Trade, Operations and digital teams to translate approved strategies into platform, pharmacy/distribution, product-data, consumer-communications, measurement and issue-resolution requirements.
  • Present and translate recommendations, strategic options for the consumer-centered cash-price and channel strategies, and decision-enablement materials for senior leadership and governance forums, enabling efficient, data-driven decisions.
  • Lead the consumer pricing market research and insights for MariTide, establishing the strategic learning priorities required to inform launch and lifecycle consumer pricing, affordability, offer and non-reimbursed channel decisions.
  • Define an integrated consumer pricing research program and advanced pricing research approaches and analytical frameworks to understand consumer response across price points, offers, channels and segments, translating findings into implications for pricing architecture, demand, access, persistence, net sales and long-term price integrity.
  • Define the consumer pricing learning agenda before and after launch, research priorities and decision triggers to enable rapid learning and evidence-based evolution of pricing, discount and offer strategies.
