In this role, the Associate Director will partner with Commercial Business Leaders, Market Access, Accounting and other cross-functional stakeholders, translating market access dynamics, commercial performance and accounting inputs into clear financial insights for business partners and leadership. The individual will help run a disciplined, transparent GTN process, coordinate assumptions across functions, flag risks and opportunities, and help explain net sales performance. This role will work a hybrid weekly schedule in our Waltham office.

Responsibilities

  • Perform variance and performance analysis: Analyze actual results versus forecast, budget and prior periods; identify rate, channel/payer mix, volume and timing drivers; prepare clear variance explanations.
  • Coordinate cross-functional inputs: Work with Commercial Business Leaders and the Market Access team to gather payer, channel, contracting, pricing and access inputs and reflect them in GTN assumptions and financial outlooks.
  • Partner with Accounting: Support close activities, accrual inputs, reserve reviews, reconciliations and explanation of actual-to-forecast differences, following established ownership boundaries and controls.
  • Prepare leadership materials: Develop concise analyses, scenario views and presentation materials that explain net sales performance and highlight risks and opportunities.
  • Maintain models and processes: Update and enhance GTN models, assumption libraries, reporting tools and process calendars, and suggest improvements to accuracy, repeatability and efficiency.
  • Support scenario analysis: Model the financial impact of changes in contracting, pricing, payer mix, customer mix, channel dynamics and other commercial assumptions as requested by the team and business partners.
  • Maintain documentation and controls: Follow established review cadences, source documentation, version control and approval points, and keep audit-ready support for GTN assumptions and judgments.
  • Serve as a GTN resource: Act as a day-to-day Commercial FP&A contact for GTN questions across the two business units and build working knowledge of key drivers.
  • Flag issues early: Identify trends, data gaps and forecast exposure; raise material issues with the Sr. Director with appropriate context and proposed options.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
