Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Avania is a leader in the Market Access & Reimbursement sector, focusing on ensuring innovative medical devices reach patients effectively. The role involves researching and developing coding, coverage, and payment strategies for medical technologies, while managing client relationships and delivering high-quality strategic assessments.
Responsibilities
- Cracking the code on market access, literally. You'll research, analyze, and develop coding, coverage, and payment strategies for medical devices and IVDs across the US, European, and APAC healthcare systems. Every project is different because every technology is different. That's the point
- Building the evidence story. You'll conduct deep primary and secondary research, review clinical peer-reviewed literature, and synthesize the state of the science into compelling narratives that payers and providers can act on. You're not summarizing, you're translating clinical evidence into economic arguments
- Working directly with clients. From VC-backed startups bringing their first device to market to global MedTech manufacturers expanding into new geographies, you'll manage client relationships, lead calls, and educate stakeholders on what it actually takes to get a device reimbursed. You'll be the person they rely on to navigate one of the most complex parts of commercialization
- Delivering work that matters. You'll draft proposals, Statements of Work, technical reports, and strategic assessments. The quality bar is high because the stakes are high, your analysis directly shapes whether a company's go-to-market strategy succeeds or fails
- Going global. The US payer landscape is our home base, but our work spans European HTA systems, APAC market access frameworks, and emerging global reimbursement models. If you want to understand how healthcare systems actually work, not just in theory, but in practice across borders, this is your classroom
Skills
- A degree in pharmacology, biology, physiology, health economics, public health, or a relevant discipline
- Some experience in consulting, health economics, market access, or reimbursement strategy (CRO, consultancy, manufacturer, or payer-side)
- Demonstrated experience reviewing and synthesizing peer-reviewed clinical literature
- Strong scientific and technical writing skills
- Comfort navigating ambiguity, because cutting-edge technologies don't come with playbooks
- Location in the Boston area, with willingness to work from our downtown Boston office (hybrid considered)
- Experience with medical device or IVD reimbursement specifically (vs. pharma)
- Familiarity with CMS coverage processes, NTAP, TPT, or commercial payer policy
- Evidence that you can contribute to business development efforts, including supporting or helping secure new work
- Experience with European HTA submissions or global market access
- Health economics modeling or outcomes research background
- Knowledge of AI/SaMD reimbursement pathways (RPM codes, DTx, emerging payment models)
Benefits
- Annual bonus potential + Benefits
- Travel and direct client leadership that builds your reputation in the industry
- Hybrid considered
