• Project management and change management experience preferred.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience supporting hospital pharmacy, ambulatory pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, medication management, revenue cycle, supply chain, or related pharmacy operations.
• Experience supporting Specialty Pharmacy operations, growth initiatives, accreditation programs, drug utilization analysis, patient adherence programs, or pharmacy financial performance.
• Knowledge of 340B program operations, compliance considerations, contract pharmacy arrangements, split-billing concepts, or related performance analytics.
• Experience with business intelligence and analytics tools such as Qlik, Tableau, Power BI, Strata, SQL, data warehouses, or similar technologies.
• Strong analytical and statistical skills, including performance measurement, trend analysis, benchmarking, and forecasting.
• Experience analyzing pharmacy financial, operational, reimbursement, and utilization data.
• Experience supporting operational performance improvement and strategic planning initiatives.
• Experience presenting findings and recommendations to pharmacy executives, directors, and operational leaders.
• Ability to identify growth opportunities, operational risks, and strategic initiatives through data analysis and stakeholder collaboration.
• Ability to proactively identify opportunities and provide recommendations rather than simply responding to report requests.
