SUMMARY

Genetix Biotherapeutics' Market Access, Advocacy + Policy (MAAP) team is dedicated to helping patients access our innovative gene therapies.  We're seeking a mission-driven National Account Executive to implement the strategic direction and execution of all payer engagements and access initiatives to ensure timely and sustained reimbursement for the company’s gene therapy portfolio. The National Account Executive is responsible for engaging commercial and government payers, executing innovative value-based agreements, and partnering with treatment centers to streamline access pathways. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in payer strategy and engagement, contracting, treatment center collaboration, and leadership within specialty or gene therapy markets, coupled with a passion for ensuring patients can access transformative, one-time treatments.

As a member of the Market Access Advocacy and Policy team (MAAP) you will be working alongside some of the most committed, creative, and experienced individuals in the cell and gene therapy industry to break new ground so that patients can access our FDA-approved gene therapies, patients who often have no therapeutic alternatives to battle progressive, debilitating, and life-shortening diseases. We are passionate about the science behind our gene therapies and the tremendous value we believe these one-time administered, potentially curative therapies bring to patients, their families, the healthcare system, and society overall. Everyone on our team has external-facing responsibilities, so we aim to be integrated and data- and evidence-driven to capitalize on the dynamic flow of information and insights across stakeholders (always being sure to maintain the highest standards of compliance). Join us if you work best in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment!
