Enhancing Canadian Healthcare Efficiency and Capacity through Strategic Collaboration

The Health System Partnership Manager is a central figure in the evolving landscape of Canadian healthcare, tasked with transforming access and efficiency across provincial and national systems. Operating at the intersection of patient need, institutional priorities, and innovative therapeutic solutions, this role exists to bridge gaps, unlock systemic capacity, and foster enduring partnerships that benefit both patients and the broader health ecosystem.

Empowering System Efficiency and Capacity: The Vision

At its heart, the Health System Partnership Manager\'s mission is to facilitate access to cutting-edge therapies for Canadian patients by dismantling systemic barriers. This role leverages deep expertise in healthcare dynamics, policy, and stakeholder engagement to proactively identify obstacles—be they operational, or clinical—and devise strategies that promote smoother patient pathways. The vision is not only to respond to existing challenges but to anticipate future needs, positioning the organization as a trusted, solutions-oriented partner within the health system.

• Health System Barrier Identification & Removal: The manager leads sophisticated mapping of health system workflows and identifies pain points impeding patient access. This involves deploying qualitative and quantitative analytical tools, engaging with front-line clinicians and administrators, and synthesizing data from policy, market, and clinical sources.
• Solutions are designed collaboratively, often requiring cross-functional input and iterative refinement.
• Implementation may include redesign of patient referral pathways, integration of digital platforms, new models of care coordination or policy advocacy.

• Strategic Partnerships with HCPs and Treatment Centers: Building trust and mutual understanding with key healthcare stakeholders is vital. The manager regularly consults with HCPs—physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals—as well as operational leaders within hospitals and clinics.
• Together, they co-create initiatives that tackle specific capacity bottlenecks, such as workforce shortages, outdated processes, or technology gaps. The manager facilitates workshops, roundtables, and joint working groups, ensuring that solutions are tailored to real-world needs and constraints.

• Capacity Building & Burden Reduction: Beyond single projects, the manager is expected to drive systemic improvements. This includes leading pilot programs that reimagine care delivery (e.g., virtual consultations, decentralized treatment models), spearheading workflow redesigns to eliminate inefficiencies, and deploying digital solutions that automate routine tasks.
• Projects are evaluated for impact on both providers (reduced burnout, improved job satisfaction) and patients (quicker access, better outcomes).

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Success in this role hinges on seamless integration with internal teams, including Marketing, Sales, Market Access & Policy, Medical Affairs, Patient Support Programs, and Legal. The manager ensures that partnership projects are aligned with broader organizational strategy, scalable across regions, and compliant with regulatory requirements. They serve as a conduit for best practice sharing, helping internal stakeholders stay abreast of external trends and innovations.

• Project Management & Execution: Managing a diverse portfolio of partnership initiatives, the manager applies rigorous project management discipline—setting clear deliverables, milestones, and success metrics. Resource allocation is optimized to maximize impact, and risks are proactively managed. The manager maintains accountability for timelines, budgets and stakeholder engagement, with an unwavering focus on outcomes that improve patient access and system performance.

• Value Communication: Articulating the impact of partnership solutions is a cornerstone of the role. The manager develops compelling presentations, reports, and digital materials that convey the value of new initiatives to health system leaders, clinicians, policy makers, and internal teams. They leverage data analytics to illustrate measurable improvements in efficiency, capacity, and patient outcomes, supporting enterprise objectives and brand reputation.

• Best Practice Sharing & Training: To amplify impact, the manager provides guidance and training to both internal teams and external partners. This may involve developing curricula, hosting workshops, and curating resources that demystify approaches to system strengthening and capacity building. The manager fosters a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, enabling rapid scaling of successful projects.

• Continuous Improvement: Projects and initiatives are continuously evaluated—through feedback loops, performance analytics, and stakeholder input. The manager synthesizes these insights to refine strategies, adapt to changing conditions, and ensure that successful interventions are replicated across regions and institutions.

The success in this role is multidimensional, with deliverables reflecting the manager\'s ability to drive real change for systems and patients. Specific outcomes include:

• Identification and removal of systemic barriers, leading to increased adoption and availability of organization products for Canadian patients.
• Implementation of partnership projects that measurably reduce health system burden and increase institutional capacity.
• Strengthened collaboration and trust with clinicians, treatment centers, and the broader health ecosystem.
• Achievement of brand and business objectives related to patient access, system efficiency, and capacity creation.
• Clear and compelling communication of value and impact to internal and external stakeholders, supported by robust data and analytics.

• The ideal candidate possesses a university degree in a relevant discipline such as life sciences, public health, health policy, business, or a related field.
• An advanced degree (MBA, MSc, or equivalent) is considered a significant asset, highlighting expertise in strategic analysis, project management, and stakeholder engagement.
• A minimum of five years’ experience in health system partnerships, commercial operations, market access, or healthcare project management—ideally within the biopharmaceutical or healthcare industry—is required.
• The manager must demonstrate a proven track record in developing and executing partnership projects with HCPs and institutions, as well as direct experience in removing system barriers and leading capacity-building initiatives.
• Success in cross-functional collaboration and project leadership is essential, as is a deep understanding of the Canadian and provincial health system landscapes, including the challenges intrinsic to patient access and resource allocation.
