Optum: Delivering Care through Technology

We're a global organization dedicated to helping millions of people live healthier lives by connecting them with care, pharmacy benefits, data, and resources. Our work improves health outcomes by ensuring that individuals have access to the support they need.

About the Role:

We're seeking an Associate Director, Pharma Strategy & Market Access, to play a key role in shaping strategies that influence access and market positioning of medicines. This involves analyzing market trends, evaluating financial impacts, and developing data-driven strategies to optimize how medicines are made available to members.

Main Responsibilities:
  • Lead the strategic development of coverage and cost-management approaches to ensure affordability, access, and quality care for a large United States-based commercially insured population.
  • Develop and refine coverage strategies, using data-driven insights to balance cost, clinical effectiveness, and member and provider experience.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., Finance, Clinical, Legal, Industry Relations) to inform decision-making on pricing and access.
  • Leverage comprehensive understanding of market trends to innovate and implement novel programs and management strategies to deliver value to clients and members.
Required Qualifications:
  • Experience leading initiatives that contribute to measurable financial impact, especially cross-functional efforts involving multiple business units.
  • Experience using data to drive commercial decision-making and strategic initiatives.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, history of establishing rapport and working well with both internal and external colleagues.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience in strategy development and proficiency in performing financial impact analysis using financial, forecasting, and other data analysis tools.
  • Experience being the end-user of data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
  • Advanced degree (MBA, PharmD, MS) and/or bachelor's degree in pharmacy.

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds with relevant experience in financial modeling, market access, pricing, strategy, or similar data-driven strategy roles. A background in pharmaceuticals is preferred but not required, as training and development will be provided.

Careers with Optum offer flexible work arrangements, including hybrid work models for those living and working in Ireland. We're committed to creating a workplace that values diversity and promotes inclusive behaviors.
