With 130 employees in the U.S. and over 300 worldwide, Poly Novo has positively impacted the lives of more than 65,000 patients globally.

The Director of Reimbursement & Market Access will lead the strategic development and execution of reimbursement and health economics (HEOR) strategies for Poly Novo’s portfolio. You will be responsible for ensuring that patients have timely access to Novo Sorb technology by securing favorable coverage policies and navigating the complexities of hospital value analysis committees (VACs), Medicare/Medicaid, and private payers.

• Develop and execute comprehensive market access launch plans for new products and line extensions.
• Monitor and influence coding, coverage, and payment policies (DRGs, CPT codes, HCPCS) relevant to dermal substitutes and synthetic skin grafts.
• Lead the development of the "Value Dossier" to articulate Poly Novo’s economic and clinical advantages over traditional biological scaffolds.
• Engage directly with key medical directors at national and regional payers to secure positive medical policy coverage.
• Support the field sales team by providing tools and messaging to navigate Hospital Value Analysis Committees (VACs).
• Address reimbursement barriers by providing education to billing and coding departments.
• Collaborate with the Clinical Affairs team to identify gaps in data and develop "Real World Evidence" (RWE) that demonstrates long-term cost savings (e.g., reduced length of stay, fewer surgeries).
• Manage the creation of budget impact models and cost-effectiveness analyses.
• Represent Poly Novo in industry trade associations (e.g., Adva Med).
• Stay abreast of legislative changes such as the Inflation Reduction Act or updates to the Physician Fee Schedule that impact medical device reimbursement.

• Ability to travel up to 30-40% for payer meetings and site visits.
• The “Poly Novo Fit”:
  As a growth-stage company, we value a "player-coach" mentality—someone who can set the high-level strategy but isn’t afraid to dive into a specific claim denial or spreadsheet.
• Relationship Driven:
  Existing relationships with CMS or major private payers (United Health, Aetna, etc.) are highly valued.
• Complex Problem Solver:
  Ability to communicate the value of synthetic materials in a market historically dominated by biologic.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their families
• Generous paid time off, 12 company holidays, and two paid Nurture days per year
