  • Demonstrate strong working knowledge of payer evidence frameworks, budget impact concepts, value narratives, and real-world evidence methodologies
  • Summarize and communicate complex medical, scientific, and economic concepts clearly to both external stakeholders and internal partners
  • As part of the HEOR team, identify data gaps and inform future research priorities to address payer needs
  • Support development and refinement of value frameworks and evidence summaries to enhance payer value demonstration, including those focused on economic modeling
  • Ensure consistency and scientific rigor across all payer-facing economic content and messaging
  • Ensure all activities and interactions adhere to corporate compliance policies and healthcare regulations
  • Participate in regional and national meetings in support of medical and access objectives
  • Support internal education on payer value and health economics communication
  • Maintain clinical, scientific, and health economic expertise relevant to GRAIL’s products
  • Engage in continuous learning to stay current on diagnostics, payer policy trends, guidelines, and evolving evidence requirements

Required Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree in a relevant discipline (PhD, PharmD, MD, MPH, MS, or equivalent) with training in health economics, outcomes research, epidemiology, or related field
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in HEOR, Market Access, or Medical Affairs within diagnostics, biotechnology, or pharmaceuticals
  • Deep experience and expertise in payer landscape which could include developing payer value materials, working within a payer, or engaging payers 
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Familiarity with health economic modeling methodologies and real-world evidence analysis
  • Ability to engage confidently with senior payer stakeholders and subject-matter experts
  • Understanding of US payer evidence requirements and coverage decision drivers
  • Ability to work independently while maintaining strong cross-functional collaboration
  • Willingness to travel extensively (approximately 25 - 35%) in support of internal collaboration and external engagements
