About Leap

Leap is one of the fastest-growing benefits solutions and a category-defining pioneer in employer specialty pharmacy. We are reshaping how life-changing therapies are delivered and financed, ensuring patients get the treatment they need while employers finally get a fair deal.

Specialty drugs and infusions represent nearly 10% of all healthcare spend and are the fastest-growing cost category for employers. Leap tackles this challenge with a novel approach: eliminating hidden markups, expanding access to high-quality infusion providers, and bringing clarity and fairness to how therapies are priced and paid for.

We’re proud to partner with numerous Fortune 500 companies and leading TPAs. Each patient we serve creates immediate ROI: lower costs, improved access, and better care. Join us as we redefine what’s possible in specialty care.

You will also carry executive relationships with our most strategic clients and be the senior point of escalation for the team.

Build The Operating System For Client Success

• Design and run the team's operating rhythm, including a daily or weekly standup that surfaces risks, blockers, and wins quickly without adding busywork

• Create a clear escalation process: what the team resolves on its own, what comes to you, and what goes to clinical, operations, product, or executive leadership, with defined response times

• Build playbooks, account plans, health scoring, and renewal workflows that let each team member manage more clients without losing quality

• Track and report on team and portfolio metrics, including retention, utilization, client satisfaction, and time to resolution

• Develop a team that knows how to launch and upsell clients to the best benefit plan design that drives the highest engagement.

• The leader will know how to overcome barriers and strong negotiating skills

Deliver White Glove Service At Scale

• Make sure every client feels known and well served, even as volume and pace increase

• Set service standards for responsiveness, communication, and follow through, and hold the team to them

• Spot where process is breaking under growth and fix it before clients feel it

Own Executive Client Relationships

• Serve as the executive sponsor and senior escalation point for our most strategic employer, TPA, PBM, and consultant relationships

• Lead or support quarterly and annual business reviews that translate utilization, savings, and member experience data into clear recommendations

• Partner with Growth and Growth Marketing on renewals, expansion, finalist presentations, and client references

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Bring structured client feedback into product and process decisions

• Deep experience with employer-sponsored healthcare, working directly with HR and Benefits leaders, TPAs, PBMs, or benefits consultants

• Experience working in start up environments or the pace of a start up

• A relationship-first leader who builds trust quickly with HR and Benefits executives, with strong executive presence and the backbone to push back on clients when it is the right call

• A track record of building team operating systems from scratch: standups, escalation paths, playbooks, coverage models, and metrics

• Proven results on gross and net revenue retention and client satisfaction across a growing book of business

• Experience with carve out programs, navigation health plans, understanding HR leaders and their strategic planning

• Sound judgment on when to resolve an issue and when to raise, and the ability to teach that judgment to a team

• Startup or growth-stage experience; comfortable building while the business moves quickly

• Humble and growth-oriented; comfortable taking direct feedback from multiple senior leaders in a flat, fast-moving organization
