Market Access Trade engages channel stakeholders to provide access to products, services and resources that support an exceptional patient experience. The Program Manager supports the day-to-day contracting and operational execution of assigned Specialty Pharmacy and Data services programs. This hands-on role coordinates statements of work, amendments and renewals; maintains contract documentation; supports purchase order and invoice activities; and tracks delivery of contracted services.
