Who We Are:
Cogent Biosciences is a publicly traded biotechnology company focused on developing novel precision therapies to treat a broad range of patients with unmet medical needs. Cogent’s lead program, bezuclastinib, is designed to selectively and potently inhibit exon 17 mutations found within the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, including KIT D816V. KIT D816V is responsible for driving a rare and serious condition called Systemic Mastocytosis, and exon 17 mutations are also found in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a type of cancer with strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling. Bezuclastinib has exhibited promising initial data across all three trials: APEX in AdvSM, SUMMIT in NonAdvSM and PEAK in GIST, including an encouraging safety profile across 600+ patients in single agent and combination dosing.
The Role:
Cogent Biosciences is seeking an entrepreneurial and strategic Senior Director, Global Market Access to develop and execute market access strategies that enable patients with cancer to access innovative therapies.
Reporting to the Vice President, Value & Access Strategy, this role will have a global remit with some responsibility for the US market. The Sr. Director will work across the organization to translate clinical and economic value into compelling market access strategies across key markets.
The role will partner closely with Commercial, Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Regulatory, Finance, and other cross-functional teams, while working closely with the company's HEOR capabilities within the Value & Access organization to develop evidence and value strategies that support payer and HTA decision-making.
The ideal candidate brings strong oncology market access experience, a solid understanding of payer and reimbursement dynamics, and experience developing access strategies across international markets. This is a highly visible, hands-on role in a growing biotech environment, requiring both strategic thinking and the ability to drive execution with lean internal resources and external partners.
