About Xenon Pharmaceuticals
Xenon is building its US commercial organization from the top down for its first product, azetukalner (AZK), an epilepsy drug whose new drug application went to the FDA in the third quarter of 2026, with trials in major depressive disorder and bipolar depression behind it. The sales line starts with executive business directors for an East and a West area, leaders of leaders who hire and coach the regional sales managers, own launch readiness and territory deployment, and personally cover epilepsy centers, academic institutions, health systems and IDNs that span several regions. Market access is its own team: national account directors who win formulary position and negotiate contracts with national and large regional commercial payers and PBMs, a Medicaid and government accounts director who calls on state Medicaid agencies and managed Medicaid plans and negotiates supplemental rebates, and a senior director who will build a national field access team working physician offices and epilepsy centers of excellence on coverage and pull-through. A customer engagement group adds regional directors of strategic engagements, a commercial KOL seat that maps and works with epilepsy opinion leaders and travels more than half the time, often to weekend educational meetings and congresses. Every seat is senior and asks for ten or more years of biotech or pharma commercial or market access work, with launch experience and, for payer seats, years of calling on national or Medicaid accounts.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
