## Descrição

Job title : Market Access Strategy Headr
Location: São Paulo
Hybrid work model
The Market Access Strategy Head is a highly strategic and transversal leadership role within the Market Access organization. It holds end-to-end accountability for shaping and orchestrating Sanofi's cross-portfolio market access strategy in Brazil, ensuring a coherent, prioritized, and well-sequenced approach to reimbursement submissions, national and subnation, public and private, and to the stakeholder engagement that precedes, accompanies, and follows every submission process.
Operating at the intersection of strategy, governance, and execution, this position combines transversal leadership of the Market Access agenda with direct accountability for the Immuno Alliance and Tzield franchises, the orchestration and governance engine of Market Access (MAx Orchestration), and the Pricing & Operations function. The role requires the ability to lead simultaneously through direct authority and through influence, aligning and mobilizing peers, particularly the Value & Access (V&A) Managers and the HEVA (Health Economics & Value Assessment) team, around a single, unified access strategy.
Beyond strategy execution, this position is the principal architect and custodian of the Market Access operating model, continuously transforming, evolving, and innovating it to respond to the changing needs of Sanofi's business units, external stakeholders, payers, and, ultimately, patients.
Given its scope, this role demands exceptional versatility and comfort with complexity, as it requires balancing strategic, cross-functional orchestration with hands-on leadership of multiple high-priority workstreams at the same time.
