• Partner cross-functionally with Solution Leads, Business Designers, and Strategy & Governance to define the operational implications of new patient experiences.
• Map current-state end-to‑end processes across human and digital touchpoints (including patient support workflows, vendor interactions, and reimbursement pathways) to surface friction points, inefficiencies, and compliance risks.
• Translate patient journey designs into detailed operational process maps, future‑state service blueprints, and SOP-level documentation.
• Design future‑state workflows, cross‑functional handoffs, escalation paths, and system integration points in close collaboration with CMG and PAA Activation & Capabilities Enablement.

• Bring 7–10 years of professional experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, technology, contact center, or related industries.
• Possess hands‑on experience performing process design, service blueprinting, operational readiness assessments, gap analyses, workforce planning, and capability modeling.
• Demonstrate strong systems thinking and structured problem‑solving abilities.
• Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional teams across complex organizational environments.

Preferred Experience

• Hold a Master’s degree or MBA in Organizational Development, Systems Engineering, Healthcare Administration, or a related field.
• Demonstrate a track record of supporting patient support operations, contact center transformations, or access/reimbursement process redesigns in a biotech or pharma setting.
• Utilize advanced process mapping tools (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart, Miro) and Agile service blueprinting methodologies to translate strategy into operational execution.
