About The Role
Join LSTM as our Market Access and Commercialisation Manager and play a key role in identifying, developing, and implementing global access strategies for snakebite translational therapeutic and diagnostic assets.
Working within the Enterprise and Innovation Unit and Centre for Snakebite Research and Interventions, you will help bridge the gap between laboratory validation and product implementation, establishing route-to-market, regulatory pathways, and industrial partnerships that support downstream impact and access.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the deployment of novel therapeutics, diagnostics, and biologic interventions, helping to build the case for target markets from a technical, economic, and regulatory perspective, ensuring they are ready for integration into health systems and procurement frameworks in underserved, high-burden regions.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Act as a strategic bridge between academic research teams, industry partners, and community stakeholders to ensure that implementation realities are embedded throughout development, and particularly in early stage development
- Cultivate and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of global stakeholders, including National Regulatory Authorities, health providers, government bodies, and funding agencies
- Support the identification and securing of new partnerships with commercial and academic entities, including CDMO and regional innovation clusters
- Represent LSTM and its translational programmes at external meetings, workshops, and conferences
- Construct and utilise weighted prioritisation frameworks to score country accessibility and readiness to adopt new innovations
- Evaluate criteria including disease burden, regulatory maturity, and the absorptive capacity of local healthcare systems
- Map governance and finance indicators, including domestic health budgets, out-of-pocket expenditure, and the presence of centralised or pooled procurement mechanisms
- Conduct comprehensive analysis of the regulatory landscape in prioritised regions to identify roadblocks for innovations
- Establish high-level market estimates using population and incidence data
- Collaborate with colleagues to facilitate the collection of health economics data and social burden case studies to influence policy decisions
- Perform exploratory mapping to understand the industrial feasibility of product portfolios and identify potential manufacturing partners in identified regions
- Conduct scans of potential biomanufacturing hubs in the Global South that could serve as future tech-transfer partners
- Manage the day-to-day delivery of snakebite access-related workstreams and proactively identify and flag project risks and issues
