The Director / Senior Director, Payer Marketing Lead, NXC-201 will own the US payer value story, pre-approval information exchange materials, payer research, reimbursement resources and training for the national key account management (KAM) team. Reporting to the VP, Marketing & Market Access, who is accountable for overall access strategy, this role will translate strategic priorities and clinical and economic evidence into practical payer marketing deliverables.
