Director, Government Pricing & Contract Operations

Mavericks Wanted

When was the last time you achieved the impossible? If that thought feels overwhelming, you might want to pause here, but if it sparks excitement...read on In 2015, we pioneered a “moneyball for biotech” approach, pooling projects and promising early-stage research from academia together under one financial umbrella to reduce risk and unleash innovation. This model allows science and small teams of experts to lead the way.

We build bridges to groundbreaking advancements in rare disease, and develop life-changing medicines for patients with unmet needs as fast as humanly possible.

Together we define white space, push boundaries, and empower people to solve problems. If you're someone who defies convention, join us and work alongside some of the most respected minds in the industry. Together, we'll ask "why not?" and help reengineer the future of biopharma. At BridgeBio, we value curiosity and experimentation—including the ethical & thoughtful use of AI to improve clarity, speed, and quality of work.

What You'll Do

We are building the operational and compliance backbone of our pricing and contracting function ahead of significant portfolio growth. We support a competitive in-market brand alongside a rare disease pipeline moving into launch, and each product entering the market brings a defined set of statutory obligations, government program enrollments and contract operations requirements — on external deadlines that do not move.

This is a new role, created to own that work end to end.

You will lead two managers covering commercial contract operations and government programs, hold accountability for government price reporting and state price transparency, own the policies and systems that govern this work, and manage the vendors who deliver calculation and processing. You will be the person who ensures a shifting launch date does not become a missed filing.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a lean function. You will build process as well as run it.
