Director State Policy & Government Affairs

The State Policy & Government Affairs Director will serve as a key member of Regeneron Pharmaceutical's Public Policy & Government Affairs (PP&GA) team, responsible for the development and execution of state-level policy strategies that advance the company's mission to ensure patient access to innovative therapies. This individual will lead Regeneron's engagement on critical state legislative and regulatory issues, including drug pricing, reimbursement, coverage, utilization management, data privacy, artificial intelligence and other related broader healthcare policy trends. The role requires close collaboration with internal stakeholders and external partners to shape policy outcomes and support business objectives across therapeutic areas.

In this role, a typical day might include:

• Develop and execute a comprehensive state government affairs strategy aligned with Regeneron's policy and business priorities, with a focus on patient access, affordability, and innovation.

• Monitor, analyze, and influence state legislation, regulation, and policy trends impacting biopharmaceutical development, reimbursement, and access (e.g., drug pricing reforms, PBM regulation, prior authorization, step therapy, and Medicaid policies).

• Lead engagement with state policymakers, including legislators, governors' offices, Medicaid agencies, and regulatory bodies, to proactively shape policy outcomes.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key external stakeholders, including state trade associations, patient advocacy organizations, provider groups, and industry coalitions.

• Represent Regeneron in state-based coalitions and industry associations, helping to shape collective advocacy strategies and advance shared policy priorities.

This role might be for you if you:

• Partner closely with federal policy, reimbursement, legal, compliance, and commercial teams to ensure alignment and coordination across policy strategies.

• Provide strategic guidance and insights to internal leadership on state policy risks and opportunities, including emerging trends that may impact product access and commercialization.

• Support the development of advocacy materials, including policy briefs, comment letters, testimony, and stakeholder communications.

• Coordinate and support state-level stakeholder engagement opportunities, including legislative briefings, roundtables, and site visits.

• Serve as a trusted internal advisor, bringing strategic, politically astute perspectives to advance Regeneron's policy objectives.

To be considered for this role, you must have:

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (e.g., MPP, MPH, MBA) preferred.

• Minimum of 12+ years of relevant experience in state government affairs, public policy, or healthcare policy, preferably within the biopharmaceutical or healthcare sector.

• Strong understanding of state healthcare policy, including Medicaid, commercial insurance markets, drug pricing, and utilization management tools.
