In addition, he/she will manage broader health policy efforts including reviewing and analyzing complex policy proposals including regulatory proposals and legislative text, and promptly and concisely communicating impact of these proposals to key internal audiences (government affairs, commercial, regulatory, clinical, and senior executives). This position requires intense collaboration with government affairs staff to ensure alignment of strategy, talking points and messaging to constituents (elected officials/leaders, agencies, third parties, etc.). Further, the successful candidate will play a key role in health policy engagement with major trade associations on corporate policy priorities which include Amgen specific priorities as well as industry-wide priorities including, but not limited to, Federal drug pricing policy. In partnership with trades or independently, he/she may also conduct research and integrate clinical, market and payer data to inform engagement on reimbursement objectives.
