This role is responsible for maintaining detailed implementation plans, operational workflows, and training materials while ensuring program quality and compliance through structured audits and documentation.

• Program Planning and Execution: Engage with appropriate stakeholders and cross‑functional teams to ensure successful implementation and execution of programs.
• Program Maintenance: Regularly update and maintain comprehensive implementation plans, workflow guides, trainings, and other documentation.
• Quality Assurance: Implement quality control processes to ensure program compliance with established standards and guidelines, conduct and document audits, and work with appropriate stakeholders to implement corrective actions as needed.
• Vendor Management: Own relationships with and provide oversight of third‑party vendors (including pharmacies) to administer programs with emphasis on member experience and cost savings.
• Data Analytics & Reporting: Use reporting tools and partner with the Analytics team to develop and maintain opportunity analyses and ongoing savings performance reporting.
• Commercialization: Support the go‑to‑market strategy of savings product offerings, including pricing, marketing, and implementation, and support RFI and RFP submissions.
• Continuous Quality Improvement: Evaluate evolving industry and market landscape and analyze prescription claims data to identify opportunities for improving existing products and developing new products. Supports quality improvement programs/projects as required.

• 4+ years of experience applicable to health care cost management, such as in a health plan, PBM, value‑based care, or managed care environment; consulting, advising, or tech enablement focused on the preceding areas also considered applicable.
• Ability to balance multiple complex projects simultaneously with minimal direction.
• Great time‑management and organizational skills to manage multiple active projects simultaneously.
• Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Experience working with data reporting tools, conducting data analyses, and effectively consuming/interpreting data reports and visualizations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s Degree in relevant field (PharmD, MBA, MHA/MHP, etc.).
• Experience with prescription drug channels and payment workflows (pharmacy reimbursement, rebate administration and GPO relations, regulatory requirements, etc.).
• Experience with health insurance or health benefits administration (pharmacy benefits in particular).
• Strong experience in developing, implementing, and using data and workflow management technology solutions (e.g., customer relationship management (CRM), Jira/Salesforce, collaborative Excel workbooks in SharePoint, etc.).
