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.

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.
