About Servier

Servier in the U.S. is a Boston-based, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company launched by Servier Group in 2018. As a privately held organization, Servier is uniquely positioned to advance cutting-edge science, tackle underserved therapeutic areas and make patients the focus of every strategic decision. 

Role Summary

The Director, HEOR, Solid Tumor Lead is a critical leadership position within the Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) and Real-World Evidence (RWE) function at Servier. This role is responsible for shaping and executing asset strategies across both marketed and pipeline solid tumor products, demonstrating their value and ensuring patient access to Servier’s oncology portfolio.
