Director, Shared Central Fill

Innovation Associates, Inc. • US,

7d • $165,750 - $224,250 • Hybrid

About The Position

Shared Central Fill is a new operating model for iA, and this role will own the offering end to end — from the first proof sites, through commercial repeatability, to a permanent offering at scale. As Director, Shared Central Fill, you will define what the offering is, what it costs, who qualifies to run it, and where it needs to go over the long-term business planning horizon. You will carry the offering into the market until it is repeatable without you. In the early phases, that means being close to the work: shaping the product, supporting early customer opportunities, helping implement and troubleshoot with the first sites, and translating those learnings into a model others can executed. As Shared Central Fill proves out, you will set the standard the offering must meet before repeatable sales activity transitions to the Sales organization. Once that transition occurs, the commercial motion moves to Sales, while this role continues to own the offering’s long-term strategy, economics, operating model, and scalability. The work spans product ownership, pricing, commercial execution, and operating design. This role is built for someone who is credible in a pharmacy back room, comfortable working through ambiguity, and energized by building the offering themselves before handing off the repeatable motion to others.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience across some combination of pharmacy operations, healthcare distribution, healthcare services, automation, or B2B services, with demonstrated depth in at least one area and working fluency across related functions.
• Experience owning or leading an offering, product line, service line, business initiative, or commercial program from concept through execution.
• Experience developing pricing models, business cases, customer qualification criteria, operating models, or go-to-market strategies.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with customers, commercial teams, or cross-functional stakeholders to support business development, implementation, or market launch activities.
• Strong understanding of operational workflows, throughput, staffing models, volume planning, or service delivery in a complex operating environment.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional work across Product, Engineering, Services, Finance, Sales, or Commercial teams without direct authority.
• Demonstrated ability to build repeatable tools, playbooks, processes, or standards that can be executed by others.
• Strong business judgment and ability to make decisions in ambiguous or evolving business environments.
• Ability to travel approximately 25%, primarily to customer and reference sites.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. Employer will not sponsor applicants for work visas.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with pharmacy workflow, pharmacy data, central fill operations, mail order pharmacy, specialty pharmacy or pharmacy automation.
• Experience scaling a new offering, service line, or operating model from early build/proof-of-concept through repeatable commercial execution, including transition of the commercial motion to a sales organization.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the Shared Central Fill offering, including what the offering includes, what it excludes, customer use cases, and alignment to the three-year product and business roadmap.
• Own the Shared Central Fill roadmap and growth strategy, including prioritization of capabilities, target segments, sequencing, and long-term scalability.
• Develop and maintain pricing and margin standards in partnership with Finance and Commercial teams, including pricing structure, discount parameters, economic assumptions, and key variables that impact profitability.
• Establish site qualification standards by evaluating volume, order mix, system requirements, operational readiness, and other factors needed to determine whether a customer site is appropriate for Shared Central Fill.
• Define the operating model and software integration standards required for successful Shared Central Fill engagements, including expectations for workflow control, software attachment, and operational consistency across sites.
• Align cross-functional teams across Product, Engineering, Services, Finance, Sales, and Commercial functions to ensure execution against a single Shared Central Fill strategy.
• Identify risks, dependencies, and points of misalignment and escalate as needed to keep the offering on track.
• Support early business development activities, including identifying initial customer opportunities, engaging directly with prospective customers, and supporting early pipeline development.
• Lead beta and reference site strategy, including defining what each site must prove, establishing performance expectations, and translating learnings into improvements to the offering.
• Partner with Services on implementation learnings, while ensuring delivery execution, site staffing, and day-to-day operations remain owned by the appropriate delivery teams.
• Engage directly with customers during early deals, implementations, and escalations to understand operational needs, remove barriers, and build a repeatable model for future deployments.
• Develop scalable tools and playbooks, including implementation guides, pricing tools, qualification checklists, sales enablement materials, and operating standards that can be used by teams beyond the initial build phase.
• Define the criteria for transitioning the commercial motion to Sales, including the standards that must be met before Sales assumes primary ownership of the repeatable selling process.
