• Support conference planning, including agenda development, session planning, speaker vetting, and presentation review.
• Provide guidance on research, writing projects, advocacy strategies, and tactics, while working with consultants, researchers, and internal teams.

• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex regulations, information and data, and communicate clearly with members and stakeholders through reports and detailed analyses.
• Experience with 340B that is transferable to a trade association setting.
• Strong research, writing, and communication skills.
• A Juris Doctorate is preferred, or a master’s degree in public policy.
• Minimum of 7+ years of experience in public or private practice healthcare, with emphasis on 340B pharmacy expertise. Relevant backgrounds may include private practice law firm experience, hospital or clinical settings, academic medical or pharmacy operations, healthcare associations, or congressional offices supporting related policy and advocacy work.
