National Market Access Lead

The Role
Joining Moderna offers the unique opportunity to be part of a pioneering team that's revolutionizing medicine through mRNA technology, with a diverse pipeline of development programs across various diseases.

As an employee, you'll be part of a continually growing organization, working alongside exceptional colleagues and strategic partners worldwide, contributing to global health initiatives.

Moderna's commitment to advancing the technological frontier of mRNA medicines ensures a challenging and rewarding career experience, with the potential to make a significant impact on patients' lives worldwide.

Moderna is solidifying its presence in Munich, a city at the forefront of Germany's biotech industry. Our Munich office focuses on commercial operations, ensuring the delivery of our innovative products to the German market. We're inviting professionals to join us in shaping the future of medicine through our groundbreaking mRNA technology.

This position will be central to shaping Moderna's market access and pricing future in Germany. As the National Market Access Lead, reporting to the Director, Market Access & Policy Affairs Germany, you will serve as a key architect of Moderna's national access, pricing, and reimbursement strategies for our mRNA-based vaccines and emerging therapeutics. This sole contributor role is deeply strategic and externally facing, requiring direct interaction with health authorities and decision-makers. With strong command of Germany's HTA, pricing, and claims-based systems, you will work cross-functionally and globally to embed sustainable access approaches across the product lifecycle.

You will shape national HTA submissions, develop evidence-driven payer value propositions, and translate complex clinical and economic data into strategic outcomes. This role will also offer exciting proximity to Moderna's digital ambitions, with opportunities to work closely with real-world data and explore synergies with generative AI tools in evidence generation and access storytelling.

Here's What You'll Do
Your key responsibilities will be:

• Lead the development and execution of national market access strategies across vaccines and pipeline therapeutics.
• Own pricing and contracting approaches aligned with global and regional frameworks, tailored to German policy.
• Shape national HTA and reimbursement positioning, including readiness for evolving policy requirements.
• Oversee national dossier development and submission processes (e.g., AMNOG/
• 35a SGB V), ensuring robust, evidence-based access narratives.
• Serve as Moderna's lead representative to key national health institutions and payers, including G-BA, RKI, GKV-SV, and STIKO (in support of the medical team).

Your Responsibilities Will Also Include

• Drive claims and RWE (real-world evidence) analyses to inform pricing, reimbursement, and contracting strategies.
• Define local evidence needs in partnership with global and local HEOR, including burden-of-disease, epidemiology, and payer-relevant data.
• Translate scientific and real-world datasets into compelling payer value stories and clear evidence frameworks.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (Market Access, HEOR, Medical, Commercial, external experts) for strategy execution.
• Act as an internal consultant to align local market insights with global product and platform plans.

The key Moderna Mindsets you'll need to succeed in the role:

• "We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients." In this role, the ability to interface with large datasets, claims-based systems, and real-world evidence generation will be enhanced by Moderna's investment in digital innovation. You'll have the chance to work in a data-rich environment where digital fluency and AI tools can help shape value frameworks and national access narratives.
• "We behave like owners. The solutions we're building go beyond any job description." Leading access strategy in Germany means owning the full arc from pricing to reimbursement to stakeholder engagement. Your work will directly influence patient access, commercial outcomes, and the long-term success of Moderna in one of Europe's most important healthcare markets.

Here's What You'll Bring To The Table

• University degree in science, economics, public health or related field; advanced degree (MBA, PhD) preferred.
• 8+ years of experience in pharmaceutical market access, pricing, HEOR, public health or related roles, ideally with exposure to vaccines.
• Deep expertise in German access pathways and reimbursement systems, including proven experience engaging with national HTA and public health stakeholders.
• Demonstrated leadership experience in shaping or driving national market access strategies.
• MUST: Strong analytical capabilities with hands-on expertise in real-world evidence and claims data analysis.
• MUST: Proven expertise in German vaccine access pathways and national reimbursement environments.
• Hands-on experience with pricing strategy development and innovative access models.
• Track record supporting or leading dossier development (AMNOG (
• 35a SGB V)).
• Demonstrated success in cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management at senior levels.
• Fluency in German and English (written and spoken).
• Strong strategic thinking skills, with the ability to simplify complexity, influence decisions and thrive in a fast-changing environment.
