Apply financial and business acumen to evaluate opportunities, build business cases, and track solution performance against pharmacy cost, quality, engagement, and experience metrics.
-
Recognize market and client needs and translate them into new or expanded solution strategies that further Transcarent’s mission.
-
Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Account Management to position solutions, support client conversations, and develop executive-ready materials.
-
Executive communications and recommendations clearly to senior leaders, solution sponsors, and clients on an ongoing basis. What we're looking for
-
6+ years of experience in pharmacy benefits, PBM, managed care, health plan, or digital health, including 3+ years leading complex, cross-functional programs or solutions.
-
Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of solutions, products, or programs from concept through launch and ongoing performance.
-
Proven cross-functional leader who can align, influence, and motivate teams without direct authority.
-
Proactive, self-directed operator with a track record of building plans, driving accountability, and moving work forward in ambiguous environments.
