Job description

The nest is a place where every role has meaning, every team member is respected, and every day is a chance to fly higher. When you join bluebird bio, you're not just landing a new gig, you become part of a flock that's pursuing curative gene therapies to give patients and their families more bluebird days. We are doers, thinkers and collaborators who embrace and live by our values:

• Persist for Purpose

Our innovation is rooted in the diversity of our teams and results are achieved through cooperation and the integration of multiple viewpoints. This is personal and we approach every challenge with radical care.

ABOUT THE FLOCK

As a member of the Market Access Field Team, you will be working alongside some of the most committed, creative, and experienced individuals in the cell and gene therapy industry to break new ground so that patients can access our FDA-approved gene therapies—patients who often have no therapeutic alternatives to battle progressive, debilitating, and life-shortening diseases. We are passionate about the science behind our gene therapies and the tremendous value we believe these one-time administered, potentially curative therapies bring to patients, their families, the healthcare system, and society overall. Everyone on the team has external-facing responsibilities, so we aim to be integrated and evidence-driven to capitalize on the dynamic flow of information and insights across stakeholders. If you have in-depth experience with managed care, working with Health Plans, PBMs, Government Plans, with a background in delivering highly complex scientific data, including clinical and HEOR, and are a strong leader that can work independently and drive value within the payor space, then this role is for you!

HOW YOU’LL FLY

• Establishing, building, and maintaining collaborative relationships with healthcare decision-makers within national, regional, and public government payer organizations that manage the use of bluebird bio’s gene therapy treatments
• Engaging in peer-to-peer discussions within national and regional healthcare decision-makers and government plans to provide scientific, health economic, and health outcomes information for bluebird bio’s gene therapy treatments to inform access and reimbursement decisions in compliance with all policies and procedures.
• Responding to unsolicited requests for medical information from market access personnel in a timely manner and ensure all account scientific exchange needs are met from a clinical, medical education, health outcomes, and compliance perspective
• Developing and cultivating relationships with cross-functional bluebird partners. Work closely with other field-based employees and headquarters-based staff to meet customer needs with the highest level of quality.
• Providing clinical/scientific presentations to external groups that are tailored for the healthcare decision-makers that communicate the clinical value of bluebird bio’s gene therapy treatments
• Being seen as a trusted partner that provides high quality scientific and health outcomes expertise to support appropriate use of bluebird’s treatments. Maintain scientific, clinical and economic expertise in our gene therapies and therapeutic areas.
• Travel expectations approximately 50% as a remote, field-based position in the US

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

You’re the bird we’re looking for if you have:

• 5+ years in a Managed Care/PBM, pharmaceutical industry, or related environment. Previous experience in a field-based medical affairs role working with payers preferred
• Strong ability to understand and effectively communicate complex scientific, clinical or economic information tailored for payer stakeholders
• Demonstrated leadership skills including strategic thinking, innovation, and collaboration
• Advanced business acumen, strong understanding of the healthcare landscape, and knowledge of health economics
• Excellent written and oral communication skills; ability to anticipate and adapt to change; strong interpersonal skills commensurate with the need to work closely with team members across functions
