Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

**Ētahi kōrero mō Te Pātaka Whaioranga | About Pharmac Te Pātaka Whaioranga**

At Pharmac | Te Pātaka Whaioranga we endeavour to deliver the best health outcomes for all New Zealanders through investment in medicines and medical devices.

We are a close-knit whānau with around 170 kaimahi. We take pride in what we do, we work hard, and have fun along the way.

**Ngā uruatanga, our values, ground our behaviour and guide our thinking**:
Whakarongo - we listen with intent and empathy to understand

Tūhono - we connect with people, communities, the health system and each other

Wānanga - we draw on evidence and people's experiences to improve

Māia - we challenge ourselves

Kaitiakitanga - we safeguard wellbeing for New Zealanders, now and for the future

**Mō tēnei tūranga | About the Role**

How do you get the best value for money from the national budget for pharmaceuticals?

Essentially, this is the critical question that our Therapeutic Group Managers seek to address from rigorous clinical, economic, and commercial analysis of funding proposals to working effectively with clinicians and leading complex contract negotiations and the development of business cases. It's all about making real, tangible improvements to the lives of New Zealanders and helping ensure health sector resources are used as effectively as possible.

In this challenging and rewarding role, you will be responsible for managing Pharmac's funding activities within a range of therapeutic groups. You will analyse clinical, economic and commercial market data to develop funding proposals, and lead contract negotiations with pharmaceutical companies.

This is a real opportunity to be at the core of our operations; influencing the practical intersect of evidence-based medicine, economics, and commerce.

**Mōhou ake | About you**

Kua rite koe mō tēnei mahi? Are you ready to make a difference? Are you solution focused and comfortable working in a fluid and sometimes unpredictable environment? Are you motivated by contributing towards the quality of life of all New Zealanders?

Your high level of analytical ability and problem solving will be critical when presenting clear business cases derived from complex scientific/clinical data, non-financial information, and financial data.

Your ability to work with ease with clinicians and senior stakeholders will be essential to your success within this role.

You may be currently working in a clinical role, health-related management or within the pharmaceutical industry. It will be essential that you can write to a high level and make recommendations in a succinct and detailed way. In addition to your pharmaceutical and/or health sector knowledge, you will bring proven project management and commercial negotiation abilities and be comfortable dealing with ambiguity.

The role has a level of autonomy and applicants will need to be self-driven to manage time-pressured work but also need to work as part of a team. You will be part of the Pharmaceutical Funding team and supported to learn and succeed in our fast paced and dynamic workplace. We would aim to assign you to a therapeutic group you have some familiarity with.

**Ko wai koe? | Who are you?**

**Joining Te Pātaka Whaioranga | Pharmac**

We are a whānau centered organisation and understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work life balance.

To support our kaimahi and their whānau we offer:

- Five weeks annual leave
- Additional paid leave for our end of year close-down period
- An annual $500 hauora payment for eligible kaimahi
- Health Insurance corporate discount with Southern Cross
- Paid Parental Leave support in addition to minimum legislative requirements.
- Hybrid working - work from home up to two days per week.
- At Te Pātaka Whaioranga we welcome all kaimahi with a mihi whakatau during their first month. For kaimahi Māori, we offer mihi whakatau on your first day, where your whānau and manuhiri are welcome to attend. As you come through our waharoa, you will be welcomed into our growing support network - Maōri Caucus.

We strive to represent Aotearoa New Zealand and the diverse communities we serve. We are committed to championing workplace inclusion and acknowledge that in order to do their best work, we must foster an environment where people are comfortable to be themselves and work in a way that best suits their individual needs.
