Contracting Center of Excellence Team Leader

Ipsen is a dynamic and growing global specialty-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on innovation and specialty care. We aim to make a sustainable difference by significantly improving patients' health and quality of life, providing them with effective therapeutic solutions for unmet medical needs through differentiated and innovative medicines in Oncology, Neurosciences, and Rare Diseases.

The patient is at the heart of everything we do, and we also care for our employees because they are the ambassadors who truly make the difference. We attract and develop bold, agile, entrepreneurial individuals who take full ownership of their decisions; leaders drawn by a purpose to make a direct impact through their work in people's lives.

We offer employees a wealth of fulfilling challenges and growth opportunities, and the chance to contribute within a fast-moving organisation that is genuinely game-changing.

As we evolve our engagement with Health Care Professionals, we have created a new Centre of Excellence (COE) for Contracting. This COE will manage all contracting with Health Care Professionals (HCPs), Health Care Organisations (HCOs), Patients, and Patient Organisations (POs). The COE will support activities across the HCP engagement life cycle, including Global Medical Affairs (GMA), Global Product & Portfolio Strategy (GPPS), and Global Research & Development (R&D) activities.

The Contracting Centre of Excellence Team Leader is responsible for providing strategic leadership and support for maintaining a streamlined, consistent, and effective process for contracting, leading a small team.
