Jobbeschreibung

Overview

Lumicera Health Services is seeking a Supply Chain Contracting Manager to join our team!

The Supply Chain Contracting Manager develops, negotiates, and manages contracting strategies that reduce the total cost of goods and services for Clarventa and its GPO member pharmacies. This role focuses on high-impact pharmacy supply chain categories, including logistics and last-mile delivery, cold-chain and packaging, pharmacy technology, and credentialing. By aggregating member volume, the Manager secures preferred pricing, favorable terms, and sustainable savings that individual pharmacies may not achieve independently.

This is a high-level individual contributor role with significant ownership and influence across contracting strategy, supplier negotiations, and category performance. The Manager owns a portfolio of supplier agreements and category strategies, initially focused on supply chain and cost-of-goods programs, and potential expansion into additional strategic initiatives that support Clarventa’s broader cost, access, and value objectives. This is a supplier-facing negotiation and contracting role, represents Clarventa in the market, leads sourcing and negotiations, manages supplier performance, and ensures negotiated savings are successfully delivered to member pharmacies. Working closely with a small, high-performing team and cross-functional partners, the Manager helps advance Clarventa’s mission of delivering more efficient and transparent contracting solutions.

• Monitor supplier performance and promote accountability to contract terms, service levels, and expectations.
• Uphold high contracting standards and ensure the timely, accurate execution of agreements.
• Ensure negotiated pricing and renewals are reliably extended to eligible members.
