A working knowledge of the prescription (Rx) lifecycle, pharmacy benefit management (PBM), and healthcare insurance claims adjudication is essential, along with strong e-commerce and customer lifecycle experience. You will help shape digital pharmacy products that span patient acquisition, prescription intake and transfers, benefits verification, fulfillment, and ongoing process.

Develop a deep understanding of existing platform capabilities and proactively identify opportunities for reuse, simplification, and modernization.

• Manage competing priorities while helping clients understand tradeoffs between scope, timelines, technical complexity, and business value.
