• Partner effectively with brokers and consultants: Navigate consultant-driven environments by building strong relationships with firms, contributing to strategy and supporting successful outcomes in RFPs and ongoing account management.

• Support cost management and trend improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to reduce pharmacy spend and improve performance, leveraging PBM tools and insights (e.g., formulary optimization, specialty drug management, rebate strategies).

• Deliver a strategic, consultative client experience: Stay informed on market trends (e.g., specialty growth, GLP-1s, biosimilars) and bring forward-thinking recommendations that align with employer priorities and evolving benefit strategies.

• Moderate client-facing travel will be necessary (e.g., attending meetings, strategy sessions, and events).

Minimum Requirements:

• Requires a BA/BS and a minimum of 5 years of related experience; or any combination of education and experience which would provide an equivalent background.
