Head of Government Affairs (Specialty Pharmacy & Medically Integrated Dispensing)

Director will be the head of all Government Affairs at House Rx. This is a multi-faceted role primarily responsible for coordinating federal and state‑level legislative lobbying efforts to help open up the pharmacy market to more competitors and provide more choice to patients. You will also coordinate with key customers in advocacy to state pharmacy and health boards to gain more support and flexibility for medically‑integrated pharmacies and dispensaries. Core Responsibilities Evangelizing and Educating Regulators on the Medically Integrated Pharmacy Model : Lead campaigns that ensure relevant policy makers understand and appreciate the virtues of medically‑integrated dispensaries (MIDs) or pharmacies. Improve Regulatory Landscape for MIDs : Work with Boards of Pharmacy and Boards of Medicine in various states to update requirements around operating MIDs so more clinics can embrace the model. Clinical Value Narrative : Develop data‑driven messaging for policymakers that demonstrates how MID increases therapy adherence, reduces waste, and improves clinical outcomes compared to traditional specialty mail‑order. Legislative Lobbying : Lead strategy and execution of state‑level lobbying efforts to prevent "patient steering" practices that force patients to use PBM‑owned mail‑order pharmacies. Strategic Stakeholder Engagement : Partner with organizations such as NCODA, COA, or NASP to amplify the voice of integrated providers in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. Key Customer Engagement : Coordinate the lobbying efforts of influential clinics that are interested in joining our advocacy work across states. Required Qualifications Experience : 10+ years in Public Policy or Government Affairs. At least 3 years focused on Specialty Pharmacy, PBM, or Health System pharmacy policy. Subject Matter Expertise : Deep technical knowledge of Medicaid/Medicare Part D, PBM "delinking" legislation, 340B statutes, and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) impact on specialty drug pricing. Advocacy Track Record : Proven success in moving legislation at the state or federal level, specifically regarding pharmacy scope of practice or reimbursement reform. Communication : Ability to articulate the "total cost of care" argument and explain why integrated dispensing is more efficient than fragmented PBM models. Exceptional skill translating complex "pharmacy math" (e.g., AWP, WAC, NADAC, and rebate flows) into persuasive advocacy narratives for non‑technical policymakers. Location Washington, D.C. or remote with frequent travel to "hotbed" states currently debating MID legislation (e.g., Texas, Florida, or California). Expected Full‑Time Base Salary $150,000 - $245,000. This range represents the low and high end of the anticipated base salary/wage. The actual base salary/wage will depend on factors such as clinical and legislative experience, knowledge, and skills.
