• Identify and manage strategic partnerships with healthcare providers, financial institutions, IT companies, private insurers, and business alliances to expand the reach of innovative diagnostic solutions.
• Scout new opportunities for partnership initiatives such as telehealth programmes, patient coaching schemes, or novel access models that enhance the overall healthcare ecosystem.
• Ensure successful execution of all market access activities by aligning local strategies with broader APAC Access & Policy Value Stream priorities.

What you bring:

To excel as a Market Access and Policy Manager you will bring substantial experience navigating the complexities of market access or health policy roles within life sciences—ideally having worked directly on projects involving diagnostics or pharmaceuticals in Thailand or comparable markets.

Your interpersonal strengths allow you not only to communicate persuasively but also listen empathetically—ensuring mutual understanding between customers’ needs and organisational capabilities. Adaptability is second nature: you thrive amid change by remaining organised yet open-minded when tackling challenges collaboratively. Above all else your passion for advancing healthcare access is matched by your dependability as a team player who values knowledge sharing as much as personal achievement.

• Demonstrated experience in developing and implementing market access or health policy strategies within the pharmaceutical or diagnostics sector in Thailand or similar markets.
• Proven track record of building effective relationships with payers, policy makers, KOLs, health authorities, insurance companies, or other key stakeholders within the healthcare ecosystem.

• Deep understanding of local healthcare systems—including reimbursement mechanisms for diagnostics—and awareness of current trends impacting patient access.
• Analytical mindset capable of synthesising complex market intelligence data into actionable insights that inform strategic planning processes.
• Organised yet flexible approach; able to adapt quickly when resolving business issues or responding to evolving priorities within a dynamic environment.
• Empathy-driven customer orientation; consistently seeks long-term benefits for both patients and organisational stakeholders through transparent communication.
• Self-motivation combined with agility; able to achieve results independently while contributing positively within team settings focused on shared goals.
