About The Position

Travere Therapeutics is seeking a dynamic, mission-driven Strategic Account Manager (SAM) to drive strategic alignment with Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), Academic Centers of Excellence, and Large Nephrology Group Practices. The role identifies shared clinical, operational, and population-health priorities and facilitates long-term partnerships that support clinical pathway integration, value-based care models, and multidisciplinary coordination.
