What you will do

Join the VAP team as a Value, Access & Policy Manager and help improve access and outcomes for eligible patients.

This one-year role sits within the Expertise Team and is designed as a focused development opportunity in Value, Access & Policy.

You will work closely with the Access Lead and RWD & HT Lead, combining hands-on responsibility with coaching and exposure across access, RWD and HTA. You will build on your existing customer, payer and market experience, with the ambition to be ready to take on a VAP Manager role independently by the end of the year.

In this role, you will:

• Translate insights into access solutions: Turn payer, patient, customer and market insights into practical access strategies, suitable care initiatives and actions that improve patient access and outcomes.
• Generate and apply evidence: Define and address relevant research questions using data, translating insights into evidence that creates meaningful impact for our therapeutic areas.
• Drive cross-functional projects: Lead and coordinate projects across VAP and franchise teams, bringing different perspectives and expertise together to deliver results.
• Advance access and HTA capabilities: Contribute to reimbursement procedures, value communication and patient access activities, including further professionalizing our access database, AI-enabled HTA dossiers and monitoring tools.
• Build partnerships and VAP capability: Develop constructive internal and external collaborations while strengthening your own expertise in access, RWD and HTA and contributing to the broader VAP capability.

Important: This is a fixed-term position for one year which means that the position ends after one year. At this stage, we cannot guarantee an extension of the role or placement in another suitable position at Amgen afterwards.

Why this role

You will take real responsibility for VAP projects while receiving close guidance from experienced VAP colleagues. The year is designed to broaden your experience across access, RWD and HTA and progressively increase your independence and responsibility.

Our commitment: we will invest in your development, provide coaching and meaningful VAP experience, and create opportunities for you to build the capabilities needed to operate independently as a VAP Manager.

Your commitment: bring your existing experience, curiosity and drive, take ownership of your development and be ready to learn fast and step into increasing responsibility.
