Key Responsibilities

+ Develop and recommends end‑to‑end U.S. gross‑to‑net forecasting for all inline products, including RF/budget submissions, long‑range planning and monthly updates, using Anaplan and home-grown models as core tools.

+ Provide gross‑to‑net inputs and assumptions to Finance/Accounting for accrual management and external financial reporting, ensuring alignment with the close calendar and external audit requirements.

+ Lead the design, enhancement, and execution of gross‑to‑net models at channel and product level (Medicaid, Medicare, commercial rebates, wholesaler/distribution, returns, copay, 340B, cash discounts, disputes) and own consolidated portfolio‑level output.

+ Run scenario analyses and ranges around base‑case forecasts to quantify risk and opportunity, including shocks from policy changes, competitive events, and access shifts.

+ Partner closely with the U.S. Policy team to quantify financial impact of current and proposed policies (e.g., Inflation Reduction Act, price appreciation caps, MFN concepts, MFP/IRA selections) and advise on forecast treatment (embedded vs scenario only).

+ Lead recurring cross‑functional gross‑to‑net governance with Finance, Gross‑to‑Net Accounting, Market Access Strategy, and Brand to align on volume, access, and rebate assumptions and to monitor monthly trends (including 340B volatility).

+ Use modeling to predict future impacts to ASP, Medicaid URA, 340B Price, and to make recommendations for annual price changes

+ Develop and maintain payer/access‑based gross‑to‑net drivers, partnering with Market Access Strategy to refresh payer‑level access and rebate assumptions and integrate them into forecasts.

+ Oversee implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the Anaplan gross‑to‑net planning environment, including automated data interfaces from Model N and external partners; manage external consultants who support the platform.

+ Establish robust monitoring and diagnostics for gross‑to‑net performance, including daily/weekly/monthly KPI review, variance analysis vs prior forecasts, and deep‑dives (e.g., 340B spikes) with Government Pricing and Audit teams.

+ Provide GTN U.S. gross‑to‑net and pricing perspectives in senior‑level forums (e.g., U.S. leadership, Global Finance, Pricing Committee), clearly communicating uncertainty, ranges, and key value drivers as the portfolio scales.

+ Partner with finance through close cycles to ensure accurate balance sheet accruals and reconciliation

Qualifications

+ Hands‑on experience with financial planning and revenue management systems (e.g., Anaplan, Model N, SAP) and comfort working with large, complex data sets.

+ Strong grasp of U.S. pricing and policy landscape (IRA, inflation penalties, MFP, MFN concepts, and state transparency), and their implications for list price, contracting, and gross‑to‑net.

+ Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional decision‑making with Finance, Policy, Market Access, Brand, and Global stakeholders in a matrix organization.

+ Advanced analytical and modeling skills, including scenario and sensitivity analysis, with a track record of translating complex analytics into clear recommendations for senior leaders.
