Let’s do this. Let’s change the world! In the context of a rapidly evolving payer environment, Amgen’s increasing emphasis on geographic expansion, acquisition/licensing as drivers of growth, and a commitment to demonstrate product value, Amgen requires an increasingly sophisticated reimbursement and pricing capability to support market access. The capabilities of the Integrated Access Strategy (IAS) group, within the Global Value & Access function (GV&A), positions Amgen for future success against this business-critical imperative. This team is responsible for strategic planning of value and access for all Amgen molecules in development, beginning in Phase I-II and extending throughout commercialization across the Amgen portfolio. This work also includes lifecycle planning and access support for top 10 markets for selected in-the-market products.
