Market Access Manager

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to shape and drive access strategies that make a real impact on patients’ lives. What makes it unique is the chance to implement the full scope of the strategy — from concept to execution — and see your ideas come to life.

As Market Access Manager, you will drive the development and implementation of market access strategies for Novo Nordisk’s innovative pipeline in Switzerland. You’ll ensure timely and sustainable access to therapies by translating global strategies into impactful local solutions, working closely with cross‑functional teams and key external stakeholders.

• Develop and execute comprehensive market access strategies for both reimbursed and non‑reimbursed products
• Lead pricing and reimbursement submissions to the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH)
• Conduct in‑depth analyses of the Swiss healthcare and reimbursement environment to guide strategic decisions.
• Contribute to local value propositions and provide input into global evidence generation plans
• Develop and implement negotiation strategies and stakeholder engagement approaches
• Monitor payer trends, policy changes, and competitor activities affecting access and reimbursement
• Identify and leverage innovative access models and real‑world evidence (RWE) to support decision‑making

At Novo Nordisk Switzerland, our integrated department brings together Regulatory, Market Access, Public Affairs, and Communications to drive strategic impact across the healthcare landscape.
