Remote | Market Access Specialist — $170–$195/hour

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced payer and market access professionals with deep expertise in gross-to-net modelling, rebates, formulary strategy, pricing and reimbursement, and managed markets within the US pharmaceutical sector.

This role supports an expert evaluation initiative focused on commercial medicines and drug-development programmes. Selected professionals will develop and critique evaluation rubrics, pressure-test gross-to-net and formulary assumptions, and assess whether coverage, rebate, and tiering strategies accurately reflect real-world payer behaviour across different drug classes.

Key Responsibilities

Market Access & Payer Strategy

• Evaluate market access strategies for commercial and development-stage pharmaceutical products
• Assess payer behaviour across different therapeutic areas and drug classes
• Review assumptions involving coverage, access restrictions, formulary placement, and reimbursement
• Apply practical US managed-markets expertise to commercial analyses
• Identify assumptions that are inconsistent with real-world payer decision-making

Gross-to-Net & Rebate Analysis

• Develop and pressure-test gross-to-net assumptions
• Evaluate rebate expectations across different drug classes and payer segments
• Assess whether discounting and concession assumptions are commercially realistic
• Review the relationship between list price, rebates, access, and net revenue
• Identify unsupported or internally inconsistent gross-to-net assumptions

Formulary Strategy

• Evaluate formulary-tier assumptions and expected product positioning
• Assess potential preferred, non-preferred, restricted, or excluded formulary status
• Review assumptions involving prior authorisation, step therapy, and other utilisation-management mechanisms
• Analyse how competitive dynamics may influence formulary access
• Assess whether proposed tiering strategies reflect realistic payer incentives

Rubric Development & Expert Review

• Create structured evaluation rubrics for pharmaceutical market access analysis
• Critique existing rubrics for completeness, realism, and commercial relevance
• Define criteria reflecting experienced payer and market access judgment
• Identify missing considerations or weak assumptions in analytical frameworks
• Provide clear written reasoning supporting evaluation decisions
