Company Overview:
Blink Health is the fastest growing healthcare technology company that builds products to make prescriptions accessible and affordable to everybody.  Our two primary products – BlinkRx and Quick Save – remove traditional roadblocks within the current prescription supply chain, resulting in better access to critical medications and improved health outcomes for patients. 
BlinkRx is the world’s first pharma-to-patient cloud that offers a digital concierge service for patients who are prescribed branded medications. Patients benefit from transparent low prices, free home delivery, and world-class support on this first-of-its-kind centralized platform. With BlinkRx, never again will a patient show up at the pharmacy only to discover that they can’t afford their medication, their doctor needs to fill out a form for them, or the pharmacy doesn’t have the medication in stock. 
We are a highly collaborative team of builders and operators who invent new ways of working in an industry that historically has resisted innovation. Join us!

  • Vendor Workforce Governance: Partner with outsourced service providers to establish workforce planning standards, performance expectations, forecasting processes, and operational accountability mechanisms that ensure consistent service delivery across the network.
  • Analytics & Decision Support: Develop end-to-end visibility across operations teams to proactively identify capacity constraints, risks, and service-impacting trends. Leverage data to identify trends, forecast demand, evaluate workforce performance, and quantify improvement opportunities. Develop dashboards, KPIs, forecasts, and business cases that inform decision-making and help leadership prioritize investments and resources.
  • Strategic Initiatives & Cross-Functional Execution: Lead high-priority initiatives from concept through implementation, partnering with Operations, Product & Engineering, Data, Finance, and HR to drive measurable business outcomes and organizational scalability.
  • Technology & Automation: Partner with Product, Engineering, and Data teams to implement workforce management tools, reporting capabilities, and automation solutions that improve forecasting accuracy, operational efficiency, and decision-making.
