Director, Market Access Pricing and Strategy
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Position Overview (maybe "About the role")
- Responsibilities (list)
- Qualifications (list)
- Company Overview (maybe "About the company"? Not in list of allowed headings but we could treat as "About the role"? Actually they gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list "Company Overview". Should we include it? The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., not exclusive. So we could include other headings if appropriate, but we should prefer a few substantive sections. The company overview is substantive but maybe we can incorporate into About the role? However they said do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. They didn't forbid other headings. I'd include sections: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities, Qualifications, maybe Company Overview as "About the company"? But not in examples; but we could still use for "Company Overview". However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding company overview adds another section; maybe we can merge company overview into About the role? The position overview already describes role; company overview is separate. Could we put company overview under About the role? Might be okay but they'd be mixing. Better to include separate section "About the company". Since they didn't forbid, it's okay.
Also we have compensation range: "Compensation Range: $239K - $278K". That is Pay info, so we should include a Pay section.
Travel: "Up to 20% travel required for this role." That's Schedule? Actually travel is not schedule but could be under Schedule? They said Schedule section only if posting actually states them. Travel is not schedule but maybe we could put under Schedule? However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Travel is not schedule; but we could include a "Travel" note maybe under Responsibilities? But better to include a short paragraph maybe under About the role? The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Travel is minor metadata; we could include a short p under About the role or at end.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information: position overview, responsibilities (each bullet), qualifications (each bullet), company overview, compensation range, travel note.
We need to format responsibilities as
- . Qualifications as
- . Company overview as
maybe multiple paragraphs.
Pay section:
Pay
then Compensation Range: $239K - $278K
We should not include Benefits or Schedule sections unless present. Travel is not schedule; we could include a short note under About the role or maybe a separate "Travel" section but not in examples; but we could treat as part of About the role.
Let's craft:
About the role
Position Overview The Director, Market Access Pricing and Strategy plays a critical role in preparing Bicara Therapeutics for the commercial launch of its lead asset, ficerafusp alfa (FICERA). Reporting to the SVP, Market Access, this role owns the development of Bicara's U.S. pricing strategy — shaping the payer value proposition, contracting approach, and reimbursement strategy — and applies evidence based outcomes and analog insights to inform pricing decisions. As a recognized subject matter expert, the Director partners closely with Medical Affairs, HEOR, Legal, Finance, and Commercial leadership to ensure Bicara's pricing and access approach reflects the full clinical and economic value of FICERA. This role is remote, with the ability to travel to Bicara's Boston office on a monthly basis. Up to 20% travel required for this role.
But we need to avoid repeating "Position Overview". Could just start with the description.
Better: The Director, Market Access Pricing and Strategy plays a critical role in preparing Bicara Therapeutics for the commercial launch of its lead asset, ficerafusp alfa (FICERA).

That's fine.
Then Responsibilities: list each bullet.
We need to extract responsibilities bullet points from the text:
Responsibilities
Market Access Strategy & Launch Readiness: Lead the development and execution of the U.S. market access strategy for ficerafusp alfa, including payer engagement, reimbursement coverage, and access-related support.
Pricing & Contracting Strategy: Develop the U.S. pricing and contracting strategy, incorporating payer research, competitive dynamics, value assessment, and reimbursement considerations.
Payer Value Proposition: Shape a differentiated payer value proposition and identify the evidence requirements needed to demonstrate the clinical, economic, and patient value of FICERA. Partner with Medical Affairs and HEOR to ensure evidence-generation plans address payer and access needs.
Payer Insights & Stakeholder Engagement: Develop and execute payer research and engagement plans across national and regional health plans, PBMs, pathways organizations, and other key stakeholders, translating insights into actionable recommendations.
Health Care Policy Expertise: Continuously monitor and assess federal and state policy changes that will impact U.S. pricing initiatives, and turn those learnings into internal education tools.
Internal SME & Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve, alongside the SVP, Market Access, as the organization's primary subject-matter expert on ASP, J-Code, pass-through, buy-and-bill, reimbursement, and IRA topics, providing strategic direction across the company.
Talent Development: As the pricing and access function grows, help build, mentor, and manage functional talent, providing clear direction and development opportunities.
Competitive Landscape Monitoring: Continuously assess competitive dynamics to anticipate challenges, inform strategy, and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
We'll put each as - .
Qualifications bullet points:

Track record of efficient, effective, solution-oriented multitasking.
Cultural alignment with Bicara’s Values of Powered by People for Patients, Adaptive Momentum and Candor that Elevates
Note: The last line seems truncated: "Candor that Elevates". We'll keep as is.
Company Overview paragraph(s):
Company Overview Bicara Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company pioneering bifunctional antibodies for targeted tumor modulation. Founded in 2020, we've built a global team of over 100 employees headquartered in Boston, with a clear focus on advancing our lead asset, ficerafusp alfa, or FICERA - a potentially first-in-class bifunctional EGFR-directed antibody combined with a TGF-β ligand trap. Our innovative approach combines tumor-targeting with tumor modulation, where one arm localizes to the tumor while the other serves as a modulator, designed to deliver superior efficacy, improved safety, and enhanced durability directly at the tumor site. FICERA specifically addresses a key challenge in solid tumor treatment by enabling immune cell penetration into tumors, reducing fibrosis and immunosuppression while reversing TGF-β-driven resistance mechanisms - ultimately designed to drive the deep, durable responses that may translate into better outcomes and survival for patients. For more information, please visit www.bicara.com. Here at Bicara, we believe in building diverse teams and cultivating a culture where all voices are included. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Bicara Therapeutics is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any classification protected by federal, state, or local law.
We need to remove EEO boilerplate. The last sentence about equal opportunity employer is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Here at Bicara, we believe in building diverse teams and cultivating a culture where all voices are included. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply." That's also EEO-ish but maybe considered boilerplate? It's about diversity; could be considered boilerplate but it's not explicitly EEO statement. The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". So that sentence is EEO/diversity boilerplate; we should remove it. So we keep only the descriptive company overview up to "For more information, please visit www.bicara.com." Possibly also keep the sentence about encouraging diverse teams? It's borderline; safer to remove.
Thus company overview paragraph: up to "For more information, please visit www.bicara.com."
