The Company is seeking a Head of Pricing Strategy to lead the development and implementation of value-based drug pricing strategies. This senior role is pivotal in driving pricing strategies from the early development stage to product lifecycle management. The successful candidate will be responsible for negotiating drug prices, leading cross-departmental projects, and managing a team to ensure compliance with pricing regulations. Strategic decision-making, including formulating pricing assumptions for business decisions and policy recommendations, is a key aspect of the position. Applicants for the Head of Pricing Strategy role at the company should have a practical experience of at least 10 years in market access, drug pricing strategy, regulatory affairs, portfolio management, or healthcare economics within the pharmaceutical industry. The role requires a deep understanding of the Japanese pharmaceutical business and healthcare system, as well as the ability to operate in a matrix and multicultural environment.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in leading strategic initiatives, managing cross-departmental projects, and engaging with relevant stakeholders. While English proficiency is not mandatory for those with extensive pricing experience, it is a valuable asset.
