About The Position

As a Manager within the Pharmacy Services Finance Intelligence (FI) organization, you will serve as the strategic owner of highly complex business initiatives from intake through implementation. This role is responsible for leading the organization's most critical and ambiguous projects, partnering closely with senior business leaders, solution architects, engineering teams, and analytics resources to define solutions that drive measurable business value. Managers are expected to demonstrate exceptional business knowledge, delivery leadership, and consultative problem-solving. They are entrusted with initiatives that span multiple business functions, require deep operational understanding, involve significant organizational risk, or influence strategic priorities. While this role performs the same core responsibilities as a Senior Analyst, expectations increase in project complexity, business ownership, and independent decision-making. Managers serve as trusted advisors to stakeholders, champion delivery excellence, and help elevate the capabilities of the broader Project Delivery Management organization through mentoring, coaching, and continuous improvement.
