Job Summary
As the Director of Payer Relations and National Accounts you will lead Cyted’s US payer strategy to secure optimal reimbursement, coverage, and patient access for the company’s molecular diagnostic portfolio. Reporting into the VP Market Access & Reimbursement and working closely with the Billing Director, you will develop and execute national account strategies, establish coding and payment pathways, and drive favorable coverage policies with commercial and government payers. You will define and track key access KPIs, proactively identify reimbursement risks and opportunities, and align access strategy to Cyted’s broader business objectives.
It will be essential to build and maintain strong relationships with commercial payers, laboratory benefit managers (LBMs), IDNs, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, DoD, and other key stakeholders across the US market.

In addition, you will shape and communicate compelling payer value propositions supported by clinical and health economic evidence. Overseeing the development of reimbursement dossiers, economic models, and payer-facing materials, you will be partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Medical Affairs, Regulatory, Finance, and Billing to ensure cohesive execution. By integrating payer insights into evidence generation, product positioning, and launch planning, this role will be instrumental in advancing Cyted’s US market access and growth strategy.
Working Pattern and Location
The role is a full-time and remote position with a standard 40 hour working week. The role holder may be required to work flexibly and may need to visit other company sites when and if required.
How we work
At Cyted, how we work is just as important as the impact we create. Following our recent Series B fundraise and with growing momentum in the US, we are entering a pivotal phase of expansion. As Director of Payer Relations and National Accounts, you will play a critical role in shaping how Cyted engages with the US healthcare system - building and executing our payer strategy, securing reimbursement, and ensuring our diagnostic innovations reach patients through sustainable coverage and access pathways.
We care deeply about the clinicians, partners and patients our work ultimately serves. In this role, care means establishing and maintaining trusted, high-impact relationships with commercial and government payers, ensuring Cyted’s solutions are understood, valued, and supported within the healthcare ecosystem. You will act as a credible partner to payer organisations, advocating for patient access while aligning clinical and economic value with payer priorities.
We expect you to own your responsibilities with confidence and accountability. You will lead Cyted’s payer strategy end-to-end - defining national account plans, negotiating coverage and contracts, and driving alignment between policy, reimbursement, and operational execution. Your leadership, judgement, and attention to detail will ensure Cyted is well-positioned to navigate the complexities of the US reimbursement landscape as we scale.
We aim high. Cyted’s growth depends on strong, scalable market access foundations. You will design and implement strategies, processes, and KPIs that enable sustainable reimbursement and revenue growth. By monitoring the evolving healthcare policy environment, identifying risks and opportunities, and leveraging payer insights, you will help shape how Cyted expands access and strengthens its position in the market.
You will be expected to dive deep into the healthcare and reimbursement landscape, understanding payer decision-making, policy dynamics, and the clinical and economic evidence required to support coverage. By translating complex data into compelling value propositions, you will ensure Cyted’s diagnostic services are effectively positioned within care pathways. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including Medical Affairs, Commercial, Finance, and Regulatory to align evidence generation, messaging, and execution.
We encourage everyone to challenge and commit. As Cyted continues to build its presence in the US, your perspective will help shape how we engage with payers and national accounts. Working across teams and stakeholders, you will ensure payer insights inform product strategy, evidence development, and commercial planning, strengthening Cyted’s overall impact in the healthcare system.
Finally, we deliver. This role requires ownership, resilience, and follow-through. From securing coverage decisions to driving contract implementation and ensuring access translates into real-world adoption, your work will directly influence Cyted’s ability to deliver value to the healthcare system and improve patient outcomes.
This is how we work at Cyted. If this sounds like an environment where you can shape strategy, build critical partnerships, and expand access to innovative diagnostics, we’d love to hear from you.
