Director, Global Market Access & Health Economics

UK - Remote

At Phagenesis, we are committed to transforming lives by eliminating the burden of neurogenic dysphagia. As we transform into a high-performing global organization, we’re looking for exceptional individuals who thrive in fast- paced, evolving environments, and bring a strong sense of ownership and urgency to their work.

Our vision is clear—make Phagenyx the standard of care in ICU and acute care settings—and we need ambitious, mission-aligned talent to help us get there. We put patients first, operate with courage and trust, and foster a culture that values innovation, accountability, and a challenger mindset.

The Director, Global Market Access & Health Economics will build the strategy, infrastructure, and institutional relationships from the ground up across four markets: the United States, DACH, United Kingdom, and Ireland.

In the US, the role inherits an active NTAP (New Technology Add-on Payment) landscape and is responsible for maximising the value of that recognition — ensuring account-level billing adherence, building the evidentiary and financial record, and developing the long-term CMS engagement strategy to support durable reimbursement pathways including DRG and ICD-10 code strategy. In EU, UK, and Ireland, the role will assess each market’s reimbursement architecture independently and develop market-specific access strategies.

This role reports to the VP, Global Marketing and works in close partnership with Clinical, Medical Affairs, Regulatory (CMRA), and the commercial field teams. It is an individual contributor role with the expectation of building out a function as the company scales.

• Lead the development of the US reimbursement roadmap, including the evidentiary and economic case for DRG payment optimisation and ICD-10 procedure code strategy.
• Partner with CMRA to synthesise clinical evidence, economic data, and crosswalk analysis in support of CMS submissions and advocacy.
• Drive account-level adherence to correct NTAP billing practices to build a robust utilisation record in support of long-term reimbursement strategy.
• Monitor IPPS rule making cycles and MedPAC activity; develop proactive positioning and response strategies.
• Serve as the internal expert on US coding, coverage, and payment — supporting the field sales team and hospital customers on reimbursement questions.

• Develop and execute market access strategies for the EU, UK (NHS England), and Ireland (HSE), navigating the distinct HTA and reimbursement frameworks in each market independently.
• Identify reimbursement barriers and accelerants at country level; build and maintain a clear market access roadmap for each region.
• Manage relationships with external consulting resources to supplement in-house expertise where required.
• Collaborate with the EU commercial team to translate access strategies into field-deployable tools and account-level support.

• Build the company’s global health economic value proposition from the ground up — including budget impact models, cost-effectiveness frameworks, and payer-facing value dossiers.
• Develop economic narratives that quantify the cost burden of post-stroke dysphagia and the financial value of Phagenyx intervention for hospital C-suite and payer audiences.
• Develop and maintain a global value-evidence plan linking reimbursement objectives to clinical evidence, claims data, health-economic analyses and publication priorities.
• Partner with Marketing and Medical Affairs to ensure health economic claims are evidence-based, regionally appropriate, and commercially deployable.
• Identify and pursue opportunities to incorporate PES into national stroke pathways, clinical standards, certification frameworks, and commissioning specifications.

• Act as the primary reimbursement resource for the US and EU commercial teams — providing education, tools, and live support on coding, coverage, and payer navigation.
• Develop and maintain reimbursement education materials for hospital…
