Role:

The Pharmacy Strategic Account Executive is a senior, client-facing professional responsible for managing and growing relationships with complex pharmacy accounts spanning multiple client types – brokers, consultants, PBMs, health plans, and employer groups.

  • Oversee pharmacy-related RFPs, renewals, and vendor evaluations in partnership with internal stakeholders.
  • Ensure pharmacy solutions align with client goals, regulatory requirements, and MacroHealth’s organizational strategy.
  • Develop client-specific action plans and long-term strategies for specific account needs, providing client-centric feedback to influence product development and solution offerings.
