Position SummaryThe Senior Manager role on the Health Plan Adherence Solutions team under the Retail Pharmacy Growth organization will be part of a cross-functional group focused on shaping the medication adherence strategy for CVS Retail and developing adherence solutions that can be packaged for health plans and other clients while driving revenue for Retail Pharmacy. This role will lead strategic opportunity sourcing, prioritization, business case development, roadmap orchestration, testing and incubation, competitive landscape analysis, results tracking, and P&L management for adherence capabilities.
Specifically, the Senior Manager will be responsible for refining the strategy for health plan medication adherence at CVS Pharmacy, sourcing and shaping new product and program ideas, creating business cases to assess value and feasibility, and orchestrating the short-, medium-, and long-term horizons of the medication adherence roadmap. The role will also lead others through the incubation and testing of prioritized adherence solutions and manage governance with internal partners.
The day-to-day experience of the role will vary from leading intake and prioritization discussions for new adherence ideas, building and pressure-testing business cases, orchestrating roadmap tradeoffs across near-term execution and longer-term strategic bets, updating leadership on test-and-learn programs, and leading meetings with internal partners to understand health plan or pharma needs. The Senior Manager is expected to effectively communicate their work and provide clear, data-informed recommendations based on their findings.
This position requires demonstrated, strong independent leadership skills to set strategic direction, lead a team through opportunity development and incubation, and bring structure to a portfolio of adherence initiatives. The ideal candidate will have strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work cross functionally, influence a wide range of stakeholders, and drive alignment across competing priorities. In addition, the individual must demonstrate a consistent track record of delivering results while balancing short-term execution with medium- and long-term roadmap development. Finally, an ideal candidate would be able to apply their deep knowledge of pharmacy and healthcare to their work-particularly focused on medication adherence.
