Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role the Director, Strategic Planning & Operations (SPO) for Amgen’s Global Value & Access (GV&A) organization will be responsible for ensuring the effective and seamless operation of the global GV&A function, while leading select strategic initiatives that are critical to its evolution and impact.

This position provides an outstanding opportunity to connect with senior Value & Access leaders globally, gain deep insight into Amgen’s access strategies and market environments, and directly chip in to shaping how Amgen delivers patient access and value around the world.
