Summary:

A motivated, adaptable, inclusive, and decisive disposition is essential for success in this role. The Executive Director, Global HEOR - Cell Therapy must lead with a strong focus on building alignment, fostering collaborations, and enabling a high-performing, globally integrated team. The role requires deep expertise in health economics and outcomes research, coupled with a comprehensive understanding of global market access, and the ability to translate complex clinical, real-world, and economic evidence into clear, actionable strategies that inform senior leadership decision-making.

The Executive Director will lead the integrated evidence generation and value demonstration strategy across the Cell Therapy portfolio, ensuring tight alignment with market access, commercial, medical, and regulatory priorities. A key emphasis has been advancing enterprise-level real-world evidence capabilities, including linking registry data (e.g., CIBMTR) with claims and EHR datasets to generate differentiated insights on outcomes, durability, and healthcare resource utilization.

In close partnership with Global Market Access, Pricing, Policy, Medical Affairs and Commercial leadership, this role will shape both near- and long-term evidence strategies to address the evolving access landscape for cell therapies. The focus extends beyond traditional HEOR execution to tackling structural challenges such as site-of-care economics, provider adoption, and reimbursement pathways, while ensuring US and ex-US strategies are cohesive and forward-looking. The role also emphasizes talent development and team empowerment, enabling consistent delivery of high-quality evidence and strategic insights across the portfolio.

Responsibilities:

Set and lead global HEOR and integrated evidence strategy across the lifecycle

• Define and drive the HEOR vision and evidence generation strategy across the full lifecycle of Cell Therapy assets (pipeline through in-line), ensuring alignment with product strategy, market access, and commercialization priorities.

• Deliver end-to-end evidence generation and value demonstration and oversee the design, execution, and dissemination of HEOR studies (including RWE, economic modeling, HCRU, and PROs) to generate decision-grade evidence supporting regulatory, payer, and HTA needs.  

Advance innovative data and RWE capabilities

• Lead development and application of advanced data platforms (e.g., registry, claims, EHR linkages) to generate differentiated insights on outcomes, durability, and total cost of care, strengthening the value narrative for cell therapies.  

Translate evidence into access, pricing, and value strategy and embed HEOR into cross-functional decision-making

• Shape compelling value propositions and ensure evidence is effectively translated into strategies that inform pricing, reimbursement, and global access decisions, including therapy-specific considerations such as site-of-care economics and provider dynamics.

• Partner with Market Access, Medical, Commercial, Regulatory, and Policy teams to integrate HEOR into brand planning, integrated evidence plans, and lifecycle strategy execution.  

Develop evidence strategies supporting Cell Therapy class expansion and broader adoption

• Generating real-world and economic evidence to enable use beyond academic centers, support community site onboarding, and demonstrate value across diverse care settings and patient populations

Drive external engagement and scientific leadership, including thought leader partnerships

• Lead HEOR publication strategy, congress presentations, and strategic engagement with external thought leaders (e.g., clinical experts, HTA stakeholders, and policy influencers) to shape evidence development, strengthen value narratives, and influence payer, HTA, and clinical decision-making

Build, develop, and lead a high-performing global HEOR team

• Identify and develop top talent, foster an inclusive and high-performance culture, and lead a globally distributed high performing team to deliver high-quality, strategic outputs aligned to enterprise priorities.

• Develop and maintain up-to-date knowledge for training of new and existing team members and upskill team members as business priorities change

• Cultivate a culture of continuous learning and innovation by empowering teams with internal rotations both within MAx and the broader organization

Own portfolio prioritization, operations, and evidence gap closure

• Manage portfolio-level prioritization, budgets, and execution of the HEOR book of work; define and address critical evidence gaps to support launch readiness, lifecycle expansion, and long-term value demonstration.  

Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (PhD, PharmD, MPH, MS) in health economics, epidemiology, public health, or related field

• Minimum of 10 to 15 years’ experience with a strong track record in HEOR, or real-world evidence generation in the pharmaceutical industry.

• Significant experience in HEOR, including study design and execution in real-world evidence (RWE), economic modeling, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and HTA strategy

• Proven track record of leading integrated evidence strategies for complex or specialty therapeutic areas (Cell Therapy experience preferred)

• Strong understanding of global market access environments, including US payer and ex-US HTA requirements

• Demonstrated ability to translate complex data into clear, decision-ready insights for senior leadership and external stakeholders

• Experience influencing regulatory submissions, HTA engagements, and scientific publications/presentations

• Proven leadership in cross-functional collaboration across Market Access, Medical, Commercial, Regulatory, and Policy

• Experience advancing innovative data platforms (e.g., registry, claims, and EHR integration)

• Strong people leadership capabilities, with experience building and developing high-performing, inclusive teams

• Strategic mindset with the ability to balance near-term execution and long-term value demonstration priorities
