About the Job
The Gross-to-Net (GTN) Lead is a pivotal leadership role within the North America GTN Center of Excellence (CoE), embedded in our evolving Finance organization. This position offers an opportunity for a strategic, results-driven finance leader to shape GTN governance across a complex commercial landscape while gaining end-to-end exposure to pricing, market access, and commercial strategy.
As a senior member of the GTN CoE, you will lead a team of four direct reports and oversee GTN reserves and forecasting across actuals and projections, while influencing standardization and innovation. You’ll partner closely with Finance Business Partners, Market Access, and other critical stakeholders to ensure the financial integrity and commercial relevance of GTN projections.
This role is an excellent step for candidates with a CPA looking to move into strategic finance leadership, though we also welcome strong FP&A or finance professionals who want to expand into commercial-facing roles.
You’ll also play a key part in our broader Finance transformation agenda, driving process improvement, digital tool adoption, and data-driven decision-making.
We are an innovative global healthcare company with one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. We’re also a company where you can flourish and grow your career, with countless opportunities to explore, make connections with people, and stretch the limits of what you thought was possible.
