The incumbent will be an integral member of the Global Value & Access (GV&A) team and is responsible for the design and implementation of health economic models that describe complex disease processes to understand and evaluate the implications of clinical trials and real-world data; demonstrate the value of interventions beyond efficacy, and assess benefits, risks, and the economic consequences associated with medical technologies. If you have a passion for health economic modeling to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses of health technologies and have experience conceptualizing and implementing advanced modeling techniques using decision-analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition) and simulation models, an exciting position at my client is waiting for you!
The incumbent will act as scientific leader in the latest modelling methodology that optimizes the assessment of the company Neurology products, and will be responsible to deliver high quality and impactful models to ensure optimal patient access. In addition, the incumbent will ensure quality is maintained in all aspects of technical work as well as manage performance and ensure adequate training and support of staff. Some travel may be required for project management and/or business development.
The incumbent is expected to be a team player, and an advocate for quality, compliance, professionalism, and core corporate values at the company.
