About The Position

As Manager, you will lead client delivery, own day-to-day operations, guide analysts, and partner with product/engineering on automation and QA frameworks. You’ll bring deep knowledge of payer formularies, rebate operations, and contract interpretation—and you’ll enjoy turning messy data into clear, auditable answers for executive stakeholders.
