You’ll work directly with pharmaceutical manufacturers, hub service providers, and internal cross-functional teams to deliver compliant, high-quality implementations that support therapy initiation, prior authorization, patient support programs, and overall patient access.
This is a high-visibility, client-facing role where your ability to manage complexity, communicate clearly, and build trust will directly impact client satisfaction and long-term partnerships.
