As a privately held organization, Servier is uniquely positioned to advance cutting-edge science, tackle underserved therapeutic areas and make patients the focus of every strategic decision.

Role Summary

The Senior Director, U.S. Public Affairs will lead an integrated U.S. Public Affairs function encompassing public policy, government affairs, and strategic external engagement. As Servier’s senior U.S. advisor on healthcare policy and the political environment, this leader will anticipate risks and opportunities, shape advocacy strategies, and ensure policy considerations are embedded in portfolio, pipeline, launch, and business planning.

The role will build trusted external relationships, provide counsel to senior leadership, and lead and grow a high-performing team focused on advancing patient access, supporting innovation, and enabling sustainable growth.

Primary Responsibilities

Enterprise Public Affairs Strategy and Executive Counsel

• Develop and lead an integrated U.S. Public Affairs strategy aligned with enterprise priorities, portfolio and pipeline plans, launch objectives, and long-term growth goals, establishing clear priorities, accountabilities, and measures of impact.
• Serve as a senior advisor to U.S. leadership on healthcare policy, political dynamics, and legislative and regulatory developments that could affect Servier, its portfolio, or the patients it serves.
• Translate complex external developments into clear business implications, strategic recommendations, and decision-ready action plans.
• Anticipate emerging policy risks and opportunities and develop proactive strategies to protect portfolio value, support patient access, and advance Servier’s business objectives.
• Ensure policy considerations are incorporated early in asset strategy, business development assessments, launch readiness, lifecycle planning, and enterprise risk discussions.
• Provide timely counsel and leadership during significant policy, political, regulatory, or reputational developments.
• Prepare senior leaders for external engagements with policymakers, regulators, industry organizations, and other priority stakeholders.

Public Policy and Government Affairs

• Lead the development and execution of Servier’s U.S. public policy and government affairs strategy at the federal and state levels.
• Define Servier’s positions on priority healthcare policy issues affecting biopharmaceutical innovation, patient access, coding, coverage, reimbursement, drug pricing, and the development and commercialization of medicines.
• Develop advocacy strategies designed to support a policy environment that enables patient access, scientific innovation, and sustainable business growth.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with policymakers, regulators, legislative staff, trade associations, policy organizations, and other stakeholders, representing Servier in relevant external forums and coalitions, including industry coalitions, trade associations, policy conferences, and stakeholder meetings.
• Oversee the development of policy briefs, position statements, comment letters, issue analyses, executive updates, legislative impact assessments, and advocacy materials.
• Monitor, analyze, and interpret federal and state legislative, regulatory, reimbursement, and political developments, differentiating high-priority issues from broader environmental activity.
• Establish effective processes for policy intelligence, issue prioritization, escalation, decision-making, and coordinated execution.
• Provide strategic direction and oversight to external consultants, advisors, contract lobbyists, and other partners, ensuring that workplans, resources, and deliverables align with Servier’s priorities.
