  • Partner closely with business development representatives and pharmacy teams to support smooth onboarding and successful integration of new accounts leading to future full ownership of those accounts.

  • Own performance across assigned accounts by supporting retention, service continuity, responsive account management, and growth.
  • Monitor account activity, service issues, billing needs, and follow-up requirements to help ensure timely support for each site.
  • Use available account information, statements, and site-level details to guide outreach priorities and support problem-solving with internal teams.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Serve as a liaison between pharmacy operations, billing, business development, and client partners to align account needs and next steps.
  • Assist and support the BDR in the coordination of onboarding activities for new accounts and support implementation tasks that help accounts transition smoothly.
  • Ensure timely communication, documentation, and follow-up with internal stakeholders and external account contacts after visits, calls, and issue escalations.

Client Engagement & Education
  • Educate account partners on available services, pharmacy processes, billing follow-up, and operational expectations to support effective collaboration.
  • Coordinate client-facing activities such as site visits, outreach, and immunization events.
  • Share observations from the field with internal teams and recommend practical solutions that reflect account needs, service trends, and operational realities.
