This role partners closely with Commercial, Marketing, and cross-functional teams to translate clinical and economic evidence into value propositions that support sustainable access and adoption in the Brazilian healthcare system.

The HEMA Manager brings deep understanding of the Brazilian healthcare landscape—including regulation, funding, and operational dynamics between private hospitals and payers—to inform business strategy and decision-making.

The position requires a consultative mindset to guide internal teams on the dynamics between hospitals and payers, including reimbursement models, coding, and technology adoption processes.

Over time, the role is expected to contribute to shaping the external environment by monitoring regulatory and policy trends, developing stakeholder maps, and collaborating with internal leadership on mid- and long-term access strategies. This includes supporting discussions related to regulatory shaping and market access evolution in Brazil.
