Job Title: Senior Director Access Strategy aT1D and CVnM

Location: Morristown, NJ or Cambridge, MA

About the Job

Join the team transforming how healthcare is delivered for chronic and specialty conditions worldwide. In General Medicines, you’ll help drive meaningful outcomes in diabetes, transplant, and immunology - with the scale and urgency patients deserve.

The Senior Director, US Access Strategy – aT1D & CV&M will lead a small, high-impact team responsible for defining and executing US market access strategies for TZIELD, the first approved disease-modifying therapy for autoimmune type 1 diabetes, as well as for future inline and pipeline assets across the aT1D and cardiovascular & metabolic (CV&M) portfolio.

With TZIELD as the near-term priority and cornerstone of the portfolio, this role has end-to-end accountability for short- and long-term access strategy development across national and regional payers, institutional customers, and channel partners, and leads patient support services marketing. The role will leverage deep managed markets and portfolio expertise to build an integrated access strategy aligned with global and US brand objectives, while also preparing the organization for future indication launches.

This position will also serve as a key US market access leader for pipeline assets and business development evaluations, bringing a US payer, reimbursement, and pricing perspective to portfolio decision-making. The incumbent must demonstrate strong business acumen, and outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to build productive relationships across internal and external stakeholders.

About Sanofi:
We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.

Main Responsibilities:

  • Own the US market access strategy for TZIELD and the aT1D & CV&M portfolio, with accountability for defining short- and long-term pricing, contracting, and payer engagement strategy

  • Serve as the primary US access and pricing leader for pipeline assets and business development evaluations, shaping portfolio decisions by assessing US access feasibility, reimbursement risk, and pricing potential

  • Provide strategic leadership and decision-shaping input into market assessments, product positioning, and target product profiles by integrating access, reimbursement, and pricing considerations early and consistently across the product lifecycle.

  • Represent the US access customer perspective within cross-functional and cross-regional commercialization teams (Brand, USMA, HEVA/RWE, Market Access Shared Services, PSS, Trade, Finance, Communications, Policy/Advocacy, and Public Affairs), with accountability for optimizing the lifecycle performance of TZIELD and future assets

  • Own and oversee Patient Support Services (PSS) marketing, providing strategic direction through direct team leadership and serving as a thought partner to PSS leadership to ensure patient access, affordability, and experience strategies are fully integrated with payer and institutional access objectives.

  • Lead execution of core Market Access deliverables in partnership with Global Market Access and US teams, translating strategy into tools, capabilities, and field-ready resources.

  • Engage directly in key account and stakeholder discussions as appropriate, to communicate brand/portfolio value and evolving market dynamics

  • As a senior member of the global market access community, ensure strong US input and feedback into Global Value and Access deliverables, including launch readiness, contracting strategy, negotiation preparedness, and innovative access frameworks.

  • Monitor and interpret the evolving US access landscape, identifying emerging trends, risks, and opportunities across diabetes, aT1D, and CV&M, and translating insights into actionable strategy.

  • Lead, develop, and mentor a high-performing access strategy team, fostering strategic thinking, cross-functional influence, and strong execution.

About You

Basic Qualifications:

  • BA/BS required; 10+ years of experience in US market access, pricing, and reimbursement, with demonstrated ownership of access strategy development and execution for specialty products

  • Deep understanding of the US payer and institutional access landscape, with the ability to assess access feasibility, pricing implications, and reimbursement risk across inline assets and pipeline opportunities

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated success leading in complex, matrixed organizations, with the ability to influence without authority and drive alignment across Global, US, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver access and commercialization objectives.

  • Proven ability to navigate highly complex, ambiguous business challenges, translating access, pricing, and reimbursement considerations into clear, actionable strategic recommendations for senior leadership.
