Make your mark for patients

We are looking for an Access & Pricing Strategy Lead who is strategic, influential, and collaborative to join our Global Patient Evidence organisation, helping shape integrated payer, pricing, and access strategies that maximize patient access and long-term value across UCB's portfolio based in Slough, UK or Brussels, Belgium.

About the Role

As Access & Pricing Strategy Lead, you will play a critical role in translating payer, policy, evidence, pricing, and access considerations into actionable strategic choices and global deliverables that support asset success throughout the product lifecycle.

Acting as a strategic partner to Asset Payer Heads, you will help shape payer strategies, influence key development and commercialization decisions, and ensure payer perspectives are embedded early and consistently. Working within a complex global environment, you will lead through influence rather than formal authority, aligning diverse stakeholders around shared priorities while driving decision-ready recommendations and high-quality execution.

This role offers a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of payer strategy, market access, evidence generation, pricing, and portfolio decision-making.

Who You’ll Work With

You will collaborate closely with Asset Payer Heads, HEOR, Real-World Evidence, Pricing, Policy, Market Access, Patient Impact, Commercial Planning, regional and local market access teams, and a broad network of cross-functional stakeholders.

You will act as a key connector across the organization, ensuring payer insights and access considerations are integrated into strategic planning and decision-making.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with Asset Payer Heads to co-create global payer, access, and pricing strategies and global deliverables.
• Lead the development and execution of payer strategies, evidence generation plans, pricing approaches, negotiation readiness activities, and key global deliverables.
• Maximize asset payer potential by shaping clinical development plans and identifying payer risks and mitigation strategies.
• Develop and oversee competitive evidence generation strategies that support payer and reimbursement objectives.
• Define global access strategies and provide clarity on strategic trade-offs, dependencies, and decision points.
• Lead strategic payer engagements and translate external insights into actionable business recommendations.
• Present payer perspectives and strategic recommendations within leadership and governance forums.
• Define payer workstreams, budgets, resource requirements, and long-range planning priorities.
• Coordinate cross-functional activities across Market Access, Pricing, HEOR, RWE, Policy, Commercial, and regional teams.
• Build alignment across stakeholders and drive decisions through influence, credibility, and strategic leadership.
• Leverage advanced analytics, AI-enabled insights, and external market intelligence to anticipate future access risks and opportunities.
• Foster collaboration, continuous learning, and capability building across the Access & Pricing community.
