• Build economic value propositions and value dossiers and ensure their local adaptation
• Contribute to pricing strategy and preparation for CEPS negotiations (e.g., positive externalities, budget impact)
• Coordinate and build the economic modelling and CEESP dossier (early scientific advice, modelling, CEESP submission, technical exchange, etc.)
• Contribute the health-economic and RWE content of early access dossiers and submissions to the Transparency Committee, in coordination with the Market Access Director, with progressively increasing ownership of Benelux dossiers

French rare disease ecosystem

• Build working relationships with rare disease networks, reference and competence centres, patient associations, and learned societies
• Negotiate collaborations with existing registries and cohorts
• Contribute to documenting the patient journey and disease burden

Function leadership and development

• Own and arbitrate the region's HEOR and RWE budget
• Structure the function (methods, quality standards, vendor panel, review processes)
• Recruit and manage future team members
• Represent the region to global HEOR and Market Access teams

The above list of tasks is not exhaustive.

• Travel within France, a priority country, is expected, as is travel to our international office in Zug, Switzerland, for team alignment and engagement.
