Role Summary

Local Market Access is a critical function within in the UKI Healthcare team, often acting as a ‘spearhead’ and first point of engagement with a client brand that develops into broader engagements involving departments across the IQVIA business e.g. Pathway Optimisation and Analytics, HEOR, Commercial Effectiveness, Technology and Real World Evidence.
