· Establish operating cadences, reporting, and decision logs that give leadership and stakeholders clear, real-time visibility into progress, risks, and next steps.
· Align and mobilize across cross-functional stakeholders around shared goals, clear ownership, and committed timelines, influencing without direct authority.
· Move initiatives through ambiguity and competing priorities, removing roadblocks and escalating thoughtfully to keep on track.
· Diagnose complex operational, clinical, and business problems; develop options with clear trade-offs; and drive issues to resolution independently.
· Manage relationships with internal and external partners, including performance oversight, SLAs, issue resolution, and business reviews.
· 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.
· Strong business acumen, including the ability to build business cases, interpret financial and performance data, and make data-informed decisions.
· Strong problem-solving skills; able to break down complex issues and drive to practical solutions.
· Excellent written and verbal communication, including executive-level presentations
· Excellent at prioritization, scoping, and documentation; comfortable in fast-paced, evolving organizations and willing to pivot when needed.
· Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree (e.g., MBA, MPH) preferred.
· Vendor and/or partner management experience is a plus.
· Pharmacy background (e.g., PharmD, CPhT) is helpful but not required; pharmacist licensure is not required for this role.
