Careers in our Market Access & Reimbursement Practice 

Salary range across multiple roles $80,000 - $200,000 +/- DOE with Annual bonus potential + Benefits

The best medical device in the world means nothing if it can't reach patients. 

That's not a metaphor. It's a math problem, a policy puzzle, and a strategic challenge all at once, and it's what we solve every day. A breakthrough neurostimulator that could change millions of lives? Useless without a reimbursement pathway. A revolutionary AI diagnostic that outperforms human readers? Dead on arrival if there's no CPT code and no positive coverage determination. A first-in-class interventional oncology device? It needs a health economic story that makes payers, hospital CFOs, and physicians all say yes. 

We are the people who build those stories. And we need more of us. 

We're hiring at all levels, from sharp, hungry researchers ready to dive into the deep end, to experienced principal consultants  and VP's who've built coverage dossiers, created novel codes and want to do it on a global stage. If health economics lights you up, if you get genuinely excited about cracking a coding problem or building a reimbursement narrative from scratch, and if you want to work on technologies that are genuinely first-in-class, this is where you belong

Avania's Market Access and Reimbursement team works at the critical intersection of clinical evidence, health economics, and commercial strategy for the most innovative medical devices and diagnostics on the planet. We're not processing paperwork. We're architecting the market entry strategies that determine whether breakthrough technologies actually reach the patients who need them. 

What You'll Actually Be Doing 

Cracking the code on market access, literally. You'll research, analyze, and develop coding, coverage, and payment strategies for medical devices and IVDs across the US, European, and APAC healthcare systems. Every project is different because every technology is different. That's the point. 

Building the evidence story. You'll conduct deep primary and secondary research, review clinical peer-reviewed literature, and synthesize the state of the science into compelling narratives that payers and providers can act on. You're not summarizing, you're translating clinical evidence into economic arguments. 

Working directly with clients. From VC-backed startups bringing their first device to market to global MedTech manufacturers expanding into new geographies, you'll manage client relationships, lead calls, and educate stakeholders on what it actually takes to get a device reimbursed. You'll be the person they rely on to navigate one of the most complex parts of commercialization. 

Delivering work that matters. You'll draft proposals, Statements of Work, technical reports, and strategic assessments. The quality bar is high because the stakes are high, your analysis directly shapes whether a company's go-to-market strategy succeeds or fails. 

Going global. The US payer landscape is our home base, but our work spans European HTA systems, APAC market access frameworks, and emerging global reimbursement models. If you want to understand how healthcare systems actually work, not just in theory, but in practice across borders, this is your classroom. 

What Makes This Different 

The technology. We don't do commodity devices. Our portfolio includes neurostimulation systems, AI-powered diagnostics, interventional cardiology platforms, cutting-edge wearables, and SaMD products that are literally inventing their own reimbursement categories. You'll work on things that don't have precedent, and you'll help create it. 

The integration. Market access doesn't operate in a vacuum here. You'll collaborate daily with regulatory strategists, clinical development leads, R&D engineers, and AI/SaMD experts. That cross-functional model means your market access strategies are informed by the full picture, and your work shapes regulatory and clinical strategy in return. 

The growth. We're building something. This isn't a mature, plateaued practice where you slot into a predefined role. This is a high-growth team where your contributions directly shape the service offering, the client relationships, and the business trajectory. We have a clear career path from researcher to manager to director, and the pace of our growth means those paths are real, not theoretical. 

The people. Our team includes former payer executives, health economists, reimbursement strategists, and clinical researchers who chose consulting because they wanted to work on the most interesting problems in MedTech. The bar is high and the energy is higher. 

The reward. Competitive compensation commensurate with experience, benefits, development opportunities, and, for senior roles, travel and direct client leadership that builds your reputation in the industry. 

The Bottom Line 

Market access is where clinical science meets commercial reality. It's where the question shifts from "Can this device work?" to "Will this device reach the patients who need it?" If that question drives you, if you want to be the reason a transformative technology actually makes it to market, we want to talk. 

We are MedTech's trusted champions. Come build with us. 

What You'll Bring 

• A degree in pharmacology, biology, physiology, health economics, public health, or a relevant discipline 
• Some experience in consulting, health economics, market access, or reimbursement strategy (CRO, consultancy, manufacturer, or payer-side) 
• Demonstrated experience reviewing and synthesizing peer-reviewed clinical literature 
• Strong scientific and technical writing skills 
• Comfort navigating ambiguity, because cutting-edge technologies don't come with playbooks
• Location in the Boston area, with willingness to work from our downtown Boston office (hybrid considered) 

Bonus points for: 

• Experience with medical device or IVD reimbursement specifically (vs. pharma) 
• Familiarity with CMS coverage processes, NTAP, TPT, or commercial payer policy
• Evidence that you can contribute to business development efforts, including supporting or helping secure new work
• Experience with European HTA submissions or global market access 
• Health economics modeling or outcomes research background 
• Knowledge of AI/SaMD reimbursement pathways (RPM codes, DTx, emerging payment models) 

Who Thrives Here 

The strategist who loves the science. You don't just know reimbursement mechanics, you understand the clinical evidence that underpins them. You can read a pivotal trial publication and immediately start thinking about how the data translates into a coverage argument. 

The communicator. Strong writing and editing skills aren't a nice-to-have. You'll produce technical reports, client presentations, and strategic recommendations that need to be crisp, defensible, and persuasive. If you can make a complex coding analysis readable and compelling, you're our kind of person. 

The consultant. You know how to listen, how to push back when needed, and how to guide clients through uncertainty. You negotiate, persuade, educate, and always keep the strategic objective in focus. 

The self-starter. We're a growing team inside a growing company. There's structure and mentorship, but also wide latitude to own your work and shape your trajectory. If you need someone looking over your shoulder every hour, this isn't the fit. If you light up when given a hard problem and the freedom to solve it, welcome home. 

Avania takes pride in being an equal opportunity employer. We consider qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, protected veteran status, disability/handicap status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
