• Supply Chain Relationship Management – 35% Provides day-to-day guidance to member stakeholders as a trusted advisor Builds a working understanding of each member's goals (savings targets, budget gaps, new service line launches), current capabilities, and pressure points — and shapes engagement around what that specific member needs, not a generic playbook Acts as the account's GPO quarterback when no other dedicated GPO team resources are assigned to the account, coordinating all GPO-related activity on the member's behalf Responsible for aligning supply chain and pharmacy goals between the member and Premier, and proactively driving activities toward the accomplishment of those goals
• Member Resolution – 15% Operates as a self-starter; applies critical thinking to solve ambiguous problems and unblock execution without waiting to be told how
