Summary of Position:
This role presents a rare opportunity to be one of founding members of the pricing and contracting operations team at Scholar Rock.

If you want visible, high-impact work with a direct line to Finance and executive leadership, this is a place to make a real difference and make your mark on how a launch-stage biotech runs pricing operations.
Position Responsibilities

- Manage BPO state price transparency reporting across applicable jurisdictions and monitor the evolving state regulatory landscape for new filing mandates
- Maintain the ex-US list/net price reference database supporting international reference pricing (IRP) analysis and global price corridor monitoring
- Maintain the global price master and price change-control process. Ensure list price changes, launch prices, and affiliate/distributor prices are approved under the pricing delegation of authority, documented, and accurately reflected in downstream systems
- Oversee revenue-leakage mitigation across contracting and compliance, including chargeback and duplicate-discount mitigation, rebate non-compliance, and price-calculation risk
- Manage rebate and chargeback processing and dispute resolution, ensuring accurate, timely, and auditable transactions
- Partner with Finance/FP&A and Accounting on quarterly GTN accruals and forecast assumptions (rebates, fees, discounts, utilization, and customer mix)
- Strengthen SOX-aligned controls and documentation across contracting and pricing operations
- Prepare deal models and policy impact analyses for Market Access and the Pricing Committee
- Own and optimize pricing and contracting data for analysis
- Evaluate, gain approval for, and implement a duplicate discount vendor solution
- Help build the evidence-based case for Phase 2 hiring and scaling of the function
- Lead and mentor analysts as the team scales, establishing best practices and a center-of-excellence approach
Candidate Requirements
- Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA) and/or CPA a plus
- 8+ years of pharmaceutical/biotech market access experience spanning government and commercial pricing, contracting, and GTN analytics
- Excellent GTN modeling, contract analytics, and financial-modeling skills; advanced Excel; comfort with reporting/BI/dashboard tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, SQL) strongly preferred
- Strong working knowledge of AMP, ASP, Best Price, URA, 340B, Medicaid, Medicare Part B and D, FSS/VA and trade channel dynamics
- Demonstrated experience managing third-party/BPO partners and transitioning or implementing operational projects
- Familiarity with duplicate discount vendors (e.g., BRG, Kalderos etc.)
- Experience supporting product launches or late-stage pipeline assets
- Understanding of SOX controls and auditable operations in a public-company environment
- Excellent communication and executive-presentation skills; thrives in a fast-paced, build-oriented biotech
