Senior Director, Market Access and Government Affairs Canada

Incyte Corporation

Overview:

At  Incyte , we are entering a defining phase of growth in Canada. As our portfolio expands and our ambition accelerates, the organization is evolving from a science-driven biotech company into a fully integrated healthcare partner with increasing impact across the Canadian healthcare ecosystem.

The Senior Director of Market Access & Government Affairs Canada will play a critical leadership role in shaping that transformation.

This position goes beyond traditional market access responsibilities. It requires a strategic leader capable of positioning Incyte as a credible, influential, and trusted partner across federal and provincial healthcare environments, while preparing the organization for future launches, expanded indications, and long-term growth.

The role will lead the development and execution of integrated Market Access, Government Affairs, and external policy engagement strategies across Canada. Working closely with the General Manager and the Canadian Leadership Team, the successful candidate will help shape Incyte’s reputation, strengthen institutional credibility, and ensure patients can access innovative therapies as rapidly and sustainably as possible.

This is a highly visible leadership opportunity within a growing affiliate where strategic thinking, influence, agility, and execution excellence will directly contribute to the next chapter of Incyte’s growth in Canada.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Market Access Leadership

  • Define and lead the Canadian market access strategy across current and future portfolio assets; 
  • Anticipate evolving reimbursement, pricing, and healthcare policy dynamics across federal and provincial environments; 
  • Lead negotiations and strategic interactions with public and private payers, HTA bodies, and key healthcare stakeholders; 
  • Ensure strong launch readiness and long-term market sustainability across therapeutic areas; 
  • Partner closely with Medical Affairs, Commercial, Regulatory, Legal, and Finance teams to align cross-functional priorities. 
  • Ensure tracking and execution of all listing agreements and close collaboration with finance on contract terms and net sales reconciliation 

Government Affairs & Policy Shaping

  • Establish and strengthen Incyte’s positioning within the Canadian healthcare and policy landscape; 
  • Develop strategic relationships with governmental stakeholders, industry associations, policymakers, and external influencers; 
  • Monitor and anticipate policy developments impacting access, pricing, innovation, and healthcare delivery; 
  • Represent Incyte externally with credibility, strategic vision, and strong executive presence; 
  • Contribute to shaping the affiliate’s external engagement strategy and long-term institutional visibility. 

Leadership & Organizational Impact

  • Act as a key member of the Canadian Leadership Team; 
  • Contribute to the evolution and maturity of the Canadian affiliate as it enters a new phase of growth and complexity; 
  • Build a culture of collaboration, accountability, and strategic partnership internally and externally; 
  • Provide clear strategic guidance to senior leadership regarding access opportunities, risks, and healthcare trends inside and outside of Canada; 
  • Support the development, structure and design of a high-performing and forward-looking access and affiliate organization. 

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a senior leader who combines strategic market access expertise with strong external influence capabilities and the ability to operate within a fast-evolving biotech environment.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

  • Significant experience within Market Access, Government Affairs, Pricing, or Healthcare Policy in the Canadian pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry; 
  • Strong understanding of the Canadian reimbursement and healthcare policy environment across federal and provincial levels; 
  • Proven ability to influence complex stakeholder environments and build long-term institutional relationships; 
  • Experience supporting product launches and growth within innovative or highly competitive therapeutic areas; 
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to balance strategic vision and operational execution; 
  • Executive presence, communication skills, and leadership maturity; 
  • Agility, resilience, and comfort operating within a growing and evolving organization; 
  • A collaborative mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally across local and international teams. 
  • Experience within oncology, immunology (dermatology), rare diseases, or specialty care environments is considered a requirement.
