This role owns the financial models and pre-negotiation intelligence packages that determine how CVS Pharmacy positions itself across a portfolio of pharmacy benefit managers, health plans, third party discount providers and state Medicaid plans. The role builds a multi-year deal strategy that reflects counterparty economics and produces the scenario analysis that establishes where CVS can trade and where it must hold. Work product from this position is used directly in live negotiations and in recurring cross-functional forums, including the weekly Finance Call and the Payer Operating Strategy meeting. The role is an individual contributor position with direct exposure to senior decision-making and is deliberately structured as a development seat for an analytical professional who intends to grow into deal ownership and portfolio leadership within Payer Relations. Success is measured by whether CVS enters every material negotiation with a quantified position and a defined walk-away point rather than a reactive one.
