Vice President, Clinical Strategy and Product

The Vice President, Clinical Strategy & Product owns LucyRx's clinical and non-clinical product portfolio end to end - defining what gets built, why it wins in market, and how clinical evidence, formulary strategy, and client-facing clinical engagement come together in a sellable offering. Reporting to the SVP, Clinical Solutions & Client Experience, this leader oversees three functions: the product management team, the clinical account executive team, and formulary strategy. The role converts market and client insight into a prioritized roadmap, owns the investment case and pricing model for each program, and ensures clinical value is a decisive differentiator in the sales cycle. Role and Responsibilities Product & Clinical Strategy • Own the clinical and non-clinical product portfolio - prioritizing against market, client, and evidence inputs, and setting roadmap sequencing. • Define the clinical strategy across priority therapeutic categories (e.g., diabetes, women's health, cardiovascular, specialty) and translate it into differentiated, buildable product offerings. • Monitor clinical evidence, treatment trends, regulatory change, and competitive moves to inform product design and positioning. • Integrate formulary strategy with product strategy so clinical programs, benefit design, and net-cost performance reinforce one another. Leadership • Lead a three-function organization - product management, clinical account management, and formulary strategy - against a single roadmap and one clinical point of view. • Set the bar for how work reaches market: discovery rigor, business case quality, launch readiness, and the evidence behind every claim the team makes, with formulary and benefit design decisions made alongside product decisions rather than after them. • Recruit, coach, and retain senior clinical and commercial talent, and build succession depth across all three functions. Commercial & Financial Ownership • Own the investment case and pricing model for each clinical program; approve investments within the VP delegated authority threshold and pricing within the approved rate card, and recommend anything above to the SVP. • Partner with Sales, Underwriting, and Finance to ensure clinical products are priced, packaged, and positioned to win. • Establish KPIs and reporting on adoption, revenue, margin, and clinical outcomes across the portfolio. Execution & Governance • Partner with Technology on build sequencing, scope trade-offs, and release planning. • Govern clinical evidence standards and outcomes measurement for launched programs, and recommend iterate, scale, or sunset. • Ensure products meet PBM regulatory, contractual, and clinical program standards in partnership with Compliance and Legal.

Preferences • PharmD, active or prior pharmacist licensure, or comparable clinical pharmacy leadership experience. • Direct experience in PBM product strategy, formulary strategy, specialty pharmacy, clinical program design, or P&T governance. • Experience developing or scaling programs in high-cost or high-growth categories such as GLP-1s, diabetes, women's health, biosimilars, or specialty drugs. • Experience using pharmacy claims, clinical outcomes, market data, and financial modeling to guide product strategy, pricing, and client-facing value stories.
