BeOne is a global oncology company that is discovering and developing innovative treatments that are more affordable and accessible to cancer patients worldwide. With a broad portfolio, we are expediting development of our diverse pipeline of novel therapeutics through our internal capabilities and collaborations. We are committed to radically improving access to medicines for far more patients who need them.
Purpose of the Role: The Associate Director, Market Access & Pricing will support the JAPAC region’s business by supporting day-to-day execution of BeOne’s market access and pricing activities across affiliate and partnership markets. Partnering closely with the GVAP Region Lead, GVAP Global Leads, affiliate teams, Global Pricing, Finance and Commercial, the role supports pricing proposals, coordinates pricing governance workflow and ensures decisions are compliant, well-evidenced, auditable and strategically aligned. The role also enables timely access outcomes by supporting launch readiness activities, commercialisation tracking and reporting across the JAPAC portfolio. Approximately 60% of the role is dedicated to regional pricing execution and governance, with the remaining 40% focused on launch readiness, tracking and access operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Regional Pricing Execution & Governance (approximately 60% of role)
- Work directly with country affiliates to support opportunity assessments, business cases and pricing proposal preparation.
- Validate the completeness and pricing integrity of country proposals, including price waterfalls, financial inputs, supporting analyses and Grant of Authority (GOA) interpretation, before governance review.
- Lead preparation of the pricing components of the governance workflow, including pricing analyses, committee materials, draft recommendations and decision documentation; support the GVAP Region Lead in coordinating the end-to-end regional governance process.
- Develop evidence-based pricing analyses and draft recommendations for the GVAP Region Lead, who owns the regional GVAP recommendation to the Region Pricing Committee.
- Maintain pricing strategy reference documents and liaise with Global Pricing Analytics to ensure approvals, decisions and supporting materials are captured in global pricing systems for auditability.
- Provide pricing-specific input to local payer engagements, while the GVAP Region Lead retains ownership of the regional value narrative and overall JAPAC access strategy.
- Develop region-specific pricing tools and localised pricing guidance, including defining, procuring and managing regional pricing research, in alignment with global strategy and the GVAP Region Lead.
- Maintain pricing inputs for negotiation-outcome, access-status and reimbursement pull-through tracking, enabling the GVAP Region Lead to monitor regional execution and feed implications back to global teams.
- Advise the GVAP Region Lead when proposals may create cross-regional impact, new price floors, non-standard models, KSM exposure or strategy-deviation risks; prepare the pricing evidence required for escalation to senior pricing governance.
- Support the GVAP Region Lead with pricing-specific adaptations to the global access and pricing strategy, including region-specific pricing tools, access solutions and pricing research.
- Conduct pricing reviews across public and private reimbursement channels and other access mechanisms, including patient assistance and early access programs, in accordance with applicable governance and compliance requirements.
- Launch Readiness, Tracking & Access Operations (approximately 40% of role)
- Maintain JAPAC inputs into a commercialisation tracker covering submissions, reimbursement and launch timelines, relevant competitor HTA outcomes and reimbursement status, including appropriate use of automation and AI to populate the data.
- Support country teams in responding to HTA body questions, working in close alignment with JAPAC HEOR, GVAP, regulatory, medical and biostatistics teams, and systematically organise key HTA questions and BeOne responses into an internal knowledge repository to support future launches, indications and best-practice sharing.
- Provide input into HEOR programs to support pricing, reimbursement and uptake strategies.
- Aggregate monthly access and pricing reporting to inform JAPAC cross-functional stakeholders, with strategic interpretation and escalation led by the GVAP Region Lead.
Qualification Required:
- Bachelor's degree in life sciences, health economics, pharmacy, health policy, business, or a related field; advanced degree (MSc, MPH, PharmD, PhD, or MBA) strongly preferred.
- 8+ years of biopharmaceutical experience, with a substantial portion in market access, pricing and reimbursement roles; or a master’s degree with 6+ years of relevant pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry experience.
- Experience working within a country, regional, or affiliate market access, reimbursement, pricing, or HTA function, with direct exposure to payer decision-making and reimbursement processes, is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated proficiency in analyzing complex market dynamics, interpreting health policy, and managing cross-countries and cross-functional projects.
- Experience developing pricing and market access strategy for specialty or oncology/hematology products, ideally including launch readiness is preferred.
- Working knowledge of reimbursement processes and payer systems across key JAPAC markets (e.g., Australia, Korea, Singapore, Japan).
- Strong understanding of pivotal-trial evidence interpretation and comparator/competitive assessment in oncology or hematology.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Location & Ways of Working
This role is based in a JAPAC hub location (Sydney, Singapore, Tokyo or Seoul).
