Product Manager ( Pharmacy )

About AssistRx

AssistRx is a market-leading healthcare technology company focused on accelerating patient access to life-changing therapies. Through our advanced platform and patient support ecosystem, we partner with pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty pharmacies, and providers to remove barriers to therapy initiation and adherence.

Our solutions—including iAssist®, Hub Lite™, Prior Authorization, Benefits Verification, Copay, and Patient Assistance Programs (PAP)—power the end-to-end patient journey from prescription to therapy fulfillment.

At AssistRx, we combine technology, domain expertise, and patient-centric design to deliver measurable outcomes for both patients and life sciences partners.

About the Role

We are seeking a Product Manager with deep life sciences and patient access expertise to lead the strategy and evolution of our Patient Assistance Program (PAP) and Free Goods dispensing capabilities.

This is a high-impact, domain-driven role requiring strong experience in pharma hub services, PAP program design, and free drug fulfillment workflows. You will play a critical role in shaping how patients access therapies when affordability is a barrier—working closely with manufacturers, specialty pharmacies, and internal operations teams.

You will own the end-to-end product strategy and execution for PAP and related patient support offerings—balancing compliance, operational complexity, and patient experience while delivering scalable, tech-enabled solutions.

• Use data to continuously improve product performance and patient outcomes

Client Engagement & Thought Leadership

• Act as a trusted advisor to pharmaceutical clients

• Support implementations, workshops, and QBRs
