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

- 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
