About this role

The Senior Attorney, Regulatory & Licensing will be a key member of Prescryptive's legal function, helping the company navigate the rapidly evolving state and federal regulatory environment affecting PBM operations, pharmacy, healthcare technology, digital prescribing, and drug pricing transparency.
