Health Economist
- Research & Development
- Denmark - Søborg
Health economics is an important part of obtaining market access for our products. A key challenge for the pharmaceutical industry is to get the healthcare decision makers to support funding of innovative medicines. Such a new environment requires a strong health economic evidence package for our customers.
About the department
Our goal is to generate and document scientific information related to health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) that further increases the value of Novo Nordisk products in addition to quality, safety and efficacy.
HE&HTA aims to bridge commercial aspiration with sound scientific evidence, by providing output that will enable Novo Nordisk to achieve patient access to our products at an optimal price. This involves economic modelling, database studies, patient-reported outcomes (PRO), and HEOR input to clinical trial design.
The job
We are offering a global role that involves a wide range of interesting and challenging assignments, which are related to demonstrating value of our pipeline portfolio. You will be accountable for managing and implementing the HEOR perspective into the Novo Nordisk early drug pipeline. It involves the process of identifying the potential economic profile of drugs at an early development stage in order to support research prioritization and development decisions. You will also manage the integration of HEOR and PRO parameters into the clinical development program, as well as providing an early strategic HEOR/PRO plan. The position requires being up to date on health technology assessment (HTA) trends and requirements.
The candidate we are looking for will be working to support Novo Nordisk’s future inflammation products, for rheumatoid arthritis, Chrohn’s disease etc., that are currently in clinical development.
You will liaise across functions on pricing/reimbursement, HTA and clinical requirements. Therefore superior stakeholder management skills and the ability to communicate technical results in a non-technical way are essential to be successful in this position.
Qualifications
The position requires a Master or Ph.D. degree in Health Economics, Economics, Public Health or another related area.
It is vital that you have a strong scientific background and the ideal candidate will have gained several years of experience in HEOR/PRO qualifying for Principal Scientist role, but we encourage you to apply should your experience be more limited. Relevant experience includes pharmaceutical industry, consultancy and relevant government bodies.
You need to be collaborative and have excellent interpersonal skills. The ability to manage a diverse set of stakeholders and handle projects in a team-oriented/cross-functional environment is necessary. It is important that you are business-oriented, enjoy responsibility and are able to manage working independently, under pressure and within timelines. Furthermore, you need to be a good communicator. Fluency in English is a requirement, as you will work in a global environment with contacts all over the world. International travel will be necessary on occasion as well.
At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
