Summary
The MedTech sector is undergoing rapid, disruptive change as breakthrough innovation accelerates, reimbursement models evolve, and global pressure intensifies for affordability, equitable access, and demonstrable clinical and economic value. In this increasingly complex policy and market access landscape, the need for bold, commercially anchored public affairs leadership has never been more critical. Aligned with the company’s BU centric operating model, the Healthcare Policy and Market Access function is positioned as a strategic business partner, translating policy and reimbursement opportunities and headwinds into actionable strategies, forward looking risk mitigation, and competitive advantage.
BD’s Peripheral Intervention (PI) business unit is a global leader in chronic disease care, with strong positions across vascular and oncology categories and a portfolio strategy focused on driving venous leadership, accelerating PAD continuum growth, and extending oncology leadership. The Senior Director, Healthcare Policy and Market Access will serve as the global quarterback responsible for developing and shaping policy, reimbursement, and access strategies that accelerate product adoption, expand patient and provider access, and strengthen alignment with regional partners. This leader will bring visionary, business-driven healthcare policy and market access expertise, working in close collaboration with PI business leadership to anticipate risk, seize opportunity, and ensure market access considerations are embedded early into portfolio, evidence, launch, and lifecycle planning. Leveraging the full strength of the company’s Public Affairs capabilities, this role will help position the PI portfolio for sustained competitive advantage in increasingly complex and competitive vascular, oncology, and interventional markets.
The position reports to the Vice President, Healthcare Policy, Market Access, with a formal dotted-line to the Worldwide President, BD Peripheral Intervention. The Senior Director will serve as a key member of the Public Affairs Senior Leadership Team and relevant Worldwide PI leadership forums, ensuring strategic alignment and strong business partnership across PI’s vascular and oncology priorities. Success in this role requires exceptional judgment, strategic acumen, adaptability, executive communication skills, and the ability to operate effectively in an agile, fast-moving, matrixed environment. The Senior Director will collaborate closely with partners across Global Marketing, Medical Affairs, HEOR, R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, Legal, and the broader Public Affairs organization. As part of the coordination with Public Affairs colleagues, a close partnership with the International Affairs team will be important to ensure global strategies translate into region-specific execution, empowering regional and country teams to tailor approaches that reflect unique policy environments, reimbursement pathways, evidence requirements, and market dynamics.
Responsibilities

Serve as a strategic advisor to senior business leadership, translating policy, reimbursement, and access risks and opportunities into prioritized and actionable business strategies.
Strategic Healthcare Policy Leadership: Develop and deploy forward-looking healthcare policy strategies that anticipate global trends, regulatory shifts, reimbursement changes, and business imperatives impacting PI’s served and emerging markets. Deliver clear, actionable insights in partnership with the broader Public Affairs team to inform business decision-making and strengthen PI’s ability to compete and scale globally.
Market Access Advancement: Shape and execute global access strategies that address payer dynamics, pricing pressure, site-of-care shifts, evidence requirements, and evolving value frameworks. Ensure alignment with product lifecycle planning, clinical evidence generation, launch readiness, and commercial strategy. Partner with Market Access teams globally to maintain, expand, and accelerate access to PI technologies. Oversee the development of payer value tools, HTA materials, policy positions, and market-shaping strategies. Collaborate with Medical/Clinical Affairs, HEOR, Marketing, and R&D to guide evidence generation and sharpen economic value narratives that support adoption and category leadership.
Global-Local Coordination: Act as a strategic partner to commercial, marketing, medical, clinical, regulatory, and product development teams to embed policy and access considerations into go-to-market, evidence, and launch plans. Drive global consistency while enabling tailored regional execution through close collaboration with international and regional Public Affairs teams.
Stakeholder Engagement: Strengthen relationships with key external stakeholders, including customer associations, professional societies, payer and policy stakeholders, physician leaders, and patient advocacy organizations, to advance policy and access priorities. Enable strategic engagement across the physician, patient, and system-level stakeholders most critical to PI’s success.
