Mavericks Wanted  

When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on  

   

In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way. We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.   

   

Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.  

What You’ll Do

You will report to the Senior Director, Head of Market Access, EU West Region and work closely with Medical affairs, Market Access, Commercial locally and globally, to support BridgeBio’s mission of delivering transformative medicines to patients with genetic rare diseases.

You will own the value demonstration strategy for our products across the region, and translate it into effective patient access: design each product's evidence generation plan, drive it through to delivery, and align it with pricing and access strategy, starting in France, then extending to the other countries of the EU West region

Your main responsibilities include:

Evidence generation

Design and lead natural history studies, cohorts, registries, and analyses of medico-administrative databases (SNDS, BNDMR/ BaMaRa, rare disease network registries)

Lead indirect comparisons in the context of single-arm trials and very small patient populations

Develop health economic models (cost-effectiveness, budget impact) for France, then for other markets in the region

Design real-world data collection frameworks (PUT-RD / data collection protocols) that can be reused for reassessment and in other countries

Define the scientific publication and communication plan

Study management

Draft specifications, run tenders, and select vendors

Convene and lead external scientific advisory committees

Secure all required approvals (health data access, ethics committees, regulatory compliance)

Manage the administrative, contractual, and budgetary aspects of studies

Review and validate all deliverables (protocols, analysis plans, study reports, publications)

Value communication and internal expertise

Translate study results into actionable clinical and economic arguments

Drive scientific dissemination (congresses, publications)

Serve as the internal reference point on epidemiology, health economics, and health data matters

Build and maintain a network of research agencies, academics, and institutions

Value and access strategy

Define and own the value demonstration strategy for each product across the region

Build economic value propositions and value dossiers and ensure their local adaptation

Contribute to pricing strategy and preparation for CEPS negotiations (e.g., positive externalities, budget impact)

Coordinate and build the economic modelling and CEESP dossier (early scientific advice, modelling, CEESP submission, technical exchange, etc.)

Contribute the health-economic and RWE content of early access dossiers and submissions to the Transparency Committee, in coordination with the Market Access Director, with progressively increasing ownership of Benelux dossiers

Anticipate assessors' objections and build responses ahead of submission

French rare disease ecosystem

Build working relationships with rare disease networks, reference and competence centres, patient associations, and learned societies

Negotiate collaborations with existing registries and cohorts

Contribute to documenting the patient journey and disease burden

Function leadership and development

Own and arbitrate the region's HEOR and RWE budget

Structure the function (methods, quality standards, vendor panel, review processes)

Recruit and manage future team members

Represent the region to global HEOR and Market Access teams

The above list of tasks is not exhaustive.

Travel within France, a priority country, is expected, as is travel to our international office in Zug, Switzerland, for team alignment and engagement.

Travel to other countries in the EU West region may also be required. Local team meetings and the designated office location in France are in the Paris area.

Who You Are  

7–10 years of experience in HEOR, real-world evidence (RWE), or market access within industry, biotech, or specialized consulting

Direct, hands-on experience completing French market access dossiers, including submissions to the Transparency Committee, early access applications, and CEESP assessments

Proven experience managing vendors and budgets

Ability to influence without direct authority and collaborate with global, multidisciplinary teams

Exposure to Belgian, Dutch, or Central and Eastern European systems

Initial people management experience

Experience in biotech or a fast-growing organization
