Director, Payer And Reimbursement Engagement

At Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals Inc. our mission is to deliver breakthrough therapies in oncology and rare diseases to patient populations with high unmet needs and limited treatment options. Our belief is that every time we care for a single person, we make the whole world better. We are the US pharmaceutical subsidiary of Pierre Fabre Laboratories Worldwide, a foundation-owned company with 7 decades of impact.

We aspire to design and develop therapeutic solutions inspired by patients and healthcare professionals; draw on science and nature as perpetual sources of inspiration; develop long-term partnerships with researchers and innovators worldwide; and place pharmaceutical ethics and climate transition at the heart of our action.

Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals is headquartered in Parsippany, NJ alongside Pierre Fabre USA Inc., a Pierre Fabre Laboratories subsidiary focused on dermatology and cosmetics.

Pierre Fabre is a large private French multinational pharmaceutical and cosmetics company building a new US oncology division. We are looking for creative, highly motivated individuals to help prepare for the successful launch of potentially the first allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy approved in the US ("Therapy"). Patients with a history of bone marrow or solid organ transplant can suffer from this rare, often deadly lymphoma, which currently has no approved FDA therapies.

The Directors of National Accounts and Reimbursement will play a critical role in preparing for launch and facilitating urgent access to the Therapy once approved. In the pre-approval phase, they will work closely with Pierre Fabres Cell Therapy Account Leads and Field Medical Directors to support site operational onboarding and readiness leading up to and after the anticipated approval of the Therapy. They will be responsible for pre- and post-approval information exchange with payers to ensure Payers have the appropriate data and information required to enable coverage decisions and provide a pathway to coverage for patients who may be prescribed the Therapy post approval. Critically, they will ensure that providers and payers have timely access to information needed to navigate the preparation for the relevant prior authorization process and single case agreements. Each patient that presents post approval will require an all-hands-on-deck approach. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an organization that is preparing to launch a new class of advanced therapeutics while making a meaningful impact in the lives of patients with a life-threatening disease.
