Job Description

Advances in scientific and technological research are opening up new, promising treatments for previously difficult to treat diseases, increasing the demand on already constrained healthcare budgets. The challenging economic and political environment is leading Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies and payers to demand better outcomes at lower cost to overall health system. In 2021 European commission adopted the EU HTA regulation with the key objectives of accelerating patient access to innovative treatments by harmonizing methodologies, establishing predictability and avoiding duplications. For AbbVie, this provides a unique opportunity to demonstrate the value attributes of our assets and strengthen affiliate position in country P&R appraisals. Joint Clinical Assessments is the key component of the EU HTA regulation and comprises the EU HTA dossier that will need to be submitted to the Member State Coordination Group on HTA; eg, to address issues of relative effectiveness and relative safety within a single submission. For AbbVie, JCA will enable better planning of market access strategies across Europe, driving the perception of value, removing redundancies with repetitive dossiers, saving time and ultimately resulting in smoother P&R negotiations, aiming to achieve faster and broader access for patients.

To succeed in this environment, we (AbbVie) need to fully understand market value drivers, identify the evidence required for Pricing, Reimbursement and Access (PRA), and work with the evidence generating functions to ensure that evidence generated will support successful Joint Clinical Assessments (JCA) and HTA outcome along with PRA negotiations.

The International HTA Strategy team was established to realize the full value of our assets by strategically informing drug development, evidence generation and HTA submissions, aligned with HTA/payer needs. The primary goals of the function are to ensure HTA evidence requirements are considered early in the development of Abbvie assets and a robust and aligned HTA strategy including EUHTA across the organization in order to ensure the successful launch of Abbvie assets. The International HTA Strategy team oversees EU HTA Regulation implementation for AbbVie and leads JSC and JCA strategy development and execution.

As a EUHTA Project Manager, you will ensure the Joint Clinical Assessment cross-functional teams successfully deliver projects within scope, on time, and within budget. You will ensure that project objectives are achieved while adhering to quality and regulatory standards.

Key responsibilities include:

• Develop project plans, timelines, and budgets according to established EUHTA company procedures.
• Coordinate JCA dossier cross-functional teams, including Access Lead, HEOR Strategy, DSS Stats, VAC, Medical Affairs, Regulatory teams and Access affiliates.
• Communicate project status, risks, and issues to stakeholders and upper management.
• Ensure adherence to regulation requirements and quality standards specific to the EUHTA regulation and guidance.
• Facilitate problem-solving and decision-making to overcome project challenges.
• Manage changes to project scope, schedule, and resources using appropriate verification techniques.
• Support establishing the new framework and capability needed for successful EUHTA Regulation implementation.
