Health Technology Assessment Project Manager, Pricing & Access Center of Excellence

The Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Project Manager will play a critical role in Amgen's HTA Pricing & Access Center of Excellence (PACE). As Amgen expands into new markets and HTA proliferates worldwide, the number and complexity of these access and reimbursement submissions is growing substantially.

The primary location for this position is Thousand Oaks, CA; however, there is flexibility for this position to be based remotely.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with key stakeholders to drive effective cross-functional team management including meeting facilitation, vendor coordination, internal and external partner collaboration and the creation of project documentation including executive updates, strategy and overview decks, surveys and dashboards to communicate progress/accomplishments to executive leadership.
• Execute robust and efficient processes by using the best internal and external insights for US HTA deliverables and national reimbursement submissions, including strategy meetings, dossier production, critical path activities, governance reviews and translation processes.
• Work closely with Amgen stakeholders to develop and manage high quality, cross-functional timelines/plans to meet country-specific HTA needs (across all targeted markets)
• Ensure alignment of deliverables with overall submission strategy, including partnering with vendors, active risk management as it relates to timelines, and communication planning.
