• Leading payer research workstreams – synthesising payer needs, access barriers and value drivers into actionable insight
• Driving cross-functional alignment on early access strategy, evidence needs and development priorities
• Delivering internal trainings and knowledge-sharing sessions on access tools and payer value topics

Your new department

Our team defines, shapes and operationalises payer-relevant value and access strategies for Novo Nordisk's diabetes therapies across the asset lifecycle. You'll join a collaborative, globally connected team where your work directly influences how innovative treatments reach the millions of people living with diabetes worldwide.
