Job Description

AbbVie HQ Europe is looking for an Associate Director, International HTA Strategy – Immunology. In this role, you will shape evidence and value strategies that support access to AbbVie’s immunology medicines. You will connect HTA (Health Technology Assessment) insight, asset strategy and cross-functional evidence generation to ensure plans are globally aligned, decision-relevant and positioned for HTA and pricing success.

You will join a collaborative International HTA Strategy team and influence evidence-generation and development decisions that can help expand patient access to innovative therapies.

This role can be based in France, Germany and The UK.

• Lead early affiliate engagement through the Early Touchpoint process on behalf of International Market Access and Pricing (IMAP), translating priority-market HTA needs into clear recommendations for registrational clinical development and evidence-generation plans.
• Synthesize HTA decisions, payer precedents, policy developments, early scientific advice and external expert insights into strategic implications, options and recommendations for asset teams and governance bodies.
• Translate complex HTA requirements and evidence trade-offs into clear strategic choices for International Market Access and Pricing, Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR), R&D, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Commercial teams, Areas, Affiliates and governance bodies.
• Lead the development of global payer evidence strategies and related deliverables, ensuring plans are differentiated, decision-relevant and aligned with HTA and payer needs.
• Partner with global colleagues, cross-functional evidence teams and external vendors to turn evidence strategy into high-quality, actionable outputs.
• Provide strategic leadership to Areas and Affiliates across HTA preparation, submission and follow-up activities.
• Align global evidence-generation functions—including Medical Affairs, HEOR, Value Analytics Center and Clinical Development—to anticipate evidence challenges, develop response strategies and address questions from HTA agencies.
• Build trusted relationships and influence stakeholders across global, Area and Affiliate teams to create alignment around shared HTA priorities and implementation plans.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in health economics, life sciences, health services or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• Significant experience in international market access, HTA, health economics, clinical development, biostatistics or Medical Affairs.
• Understanding of pricing, reimbursement and HTA processes in at least one key HTA market, including health-economic and evidence-synthesis principles.
• Demonstrated experience developing HTA evidence strategies and reimbursement submissions, and addressing evidence gaps relevant to value and cost-effectiveness.
• Strong ability to synthesize complex information, influence cross-functional stakeholders and deliver high-quality work in a global matrix environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in immunology.
• Experience working across global, regional/Area and Affiliate environments.
• Familiarity with evidence planning for HTA preparation, submissions and post-submission engagement.
