Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering if you already have pharma, payer, managed care, oncology market access, or buy-and-bill exposure and can show strategy-to-execution experience. It is not a realistic first non-clinical move for clinicians without industry exposure.

Who should apply

Oncology-trained physicians or pharmacists with pharma industry, payer, managed care, market access, or buy-and-bill experience; clinicians with MPH/MBA and cross-functional strategy, launch, or commercial experience.

CV angle

Frame oncology clinical expertise as disease-area insight, evidence interpretation, and provider/payer perspective. Highlight real experience with reimbursement or formulary discussions, cross-functional projects, strategy development, budget or vendor management, and commercial or access-adjacent work; quantify outcomes only where true.

Skills to highlight

  • Oncology clinical knowledge
  • Market access strategy
  • Reimbursement and payer landscape
  • Value proposition development
  • Cross-functional collaboration
  • Payer and provider insight synthesis
  • Budget management
  • Agency and vendor management

Role summary

Leads US oncology market access strategy by developing value propositions and payer/provider insights to secure reimbursement and access, collaborating cross-functionally, supporting account teams, managing budgets and agencies, and aligning with brand and sales.
