Job Summary:

SmithRx is seeking a Director of Performance Accountability to join our growing team. In this strategic leadership role, you'll collaborate directly with senior executives and our key clients to ensure that SmithRx is achieving our objective of providing the lowest possible pharmacy costs. 

This individual will be responsible for architecting and executing SmithRx’s strategy for “client reconciliations”, which - as a modern PBM - we refer to as performance accountability.  This will entail collaborating with our Sales, Proposals, Clinical Strategy, Data, Legal, and Account Management teams to synthesize commercial pharmacy data and contractual obligations to tell the story of SmithRx’s performance.  The ideal candidate will have a strong background in PBM performance data and contracting, and possess a strong command of the analytical, conceptual, and interpersonal dimensions of understanding and communicating PBM performance.

What you will do:

• Work closely with Sales and Proposals teams to craft offers to pharmacy consultants, brokers, and clients which properly reflect SmithRx’s value.
• Build a “reconciliation playbook” to ensure SmithRx is ahead of all contract performance accountability processes with clients and partners, and clients are satisfied with our outcomes.
• Work with the Data Analytics team to deeply understand our performance for clients, and build reports to maximally automate the process of performance accountability.
• Collaborate with the Legal team to ensure that our client agreements appropriately reflect our performance accountability strategy.
• Collaborate with the Account Management team to ensure that SmithRx performance is communicated to clients on an ongoing basis so that our customers are aware of our value.
• Work with SmithRx senior leadership to innovate and evolve performance accountability models for SmithRx, and the PBM industry as a whole.
• Engage pharmacy consultants and brokers to educate the market about SmithRx’s performance accountability strategy and why it optimizes client outcomes.

What you will bring to SmithRx:

• 10+ years of experience in analytical, business development, or pharmacy strategy roles, including 5+ years experience leading high-performing teams at a PBM. 
• Startup experience, where you thrived in a fast-paced environment, is a strong plus.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, advanced degree or MBA preferred.
• Excel at both written and oral communication, adeptly presenting SmithRx value proposition and philosophy on performance accountability to audiences including internal leaders, brokers, pharmacy consultants, and employers.

• Highly competitive wellness benefits including Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance and AD&D Insurance
