Senior Manager - Global Market Access Consulting - Specialist Consulting firm in Cardiff

I'm looking for an experienced Manager who would enjoy a hands-on/SME managerial position in a growing firm that supports pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare clients in navigating global pricing, reimbursement, and market access challenges. This role offers the opportunity to work across a broad range of strategic projects, helping clients maximise the value and accessibility of innovative therapies in key international markets, including the US.

Why Join?

• This is an opportunity to join a highly regarded and steadily growing consulting team with a strong reputation across Market Access & HEOR.
• Partner owned and led, no PE backing, a culture of trust, flexibility and high quality - one not to be missed!

What Sets This Opportunity Apart

• Consistent Growth: The business has delivered strong year-on-year growth and continues to expand.
• Excellent Staff Retention: Team turnover is notably low compared to the wider consulting market, reflecting a supportive culture, high-quality work, and genuine career development opportunities.
• Rewarding Compensation: Employees benefit from a history of strong and consistent bonus payouts.
• Collaborative Culture: Join a close-knit, high-performing team where senior leaders remain accessible and actively involved in project delivery and mentoring.
• Work-Life Balance: Unlike many consulting environments, the team has built a reputation for delivering challenging, high-impact work without an expectation of sustained excessive hours. Full flexibility around remote working and hours.
• Positive Employee Feedback: Candidates placed within the business consistently highlight the quality of leadership, supportive culture, flexibility, and personal growth as key reasons for long-term satisfaction and career progression.

What You'll Do

Working in a close-knit, cross-functional team, you'll lead and manage high-impact engagements spanning:

• Market Access Strategy: Develop global and local market access strategies, support pricing and reimbursement planning, assess payer, HTA, and competitive landscapes, identify evidence gaps and access barriers.
• Payer & HTA Insights: Analyse payer requirements across major healthcare markets, support HTA submission and evidence-generation strategies, conduct pricing, reimbursement, and policy research, develop value frameworks and payer communication materials.
• Commercial & Strategic Advisory: Evaluate market opportunities and launch readiness, support revenue forecasting and pricing strategy development, contribute to due diligence, licensing, and commercial assessments, help shape stakeholder engagement and access initiatives.

Ideal profile:

• Experience: 7-15 years' experience in Market Access, Pricing & Reimbursement, HEOR, Consulting; experience supporting pharmaceutical and/or biotech clients; MSc/PhD in relevant field; mix of experience across PMA Strategy & Value Communications/Demonstration highly desirable - the role covers both! BD track record is desirable, but not essential - the role is more focused on delivery, client strategy and team leadership, vs cold sales/BD/growth strategy.
• Knowledge: Strong understanding of HTA, payer decision-making, and reimbursement pathways; familiarity with key global markets including Europe, UK, and US; understanding of pricing strategy, value-based pricing, and evidence requirements.
