  • Manage reviews and approvals of monthly accruals, reconciliations, utilization files (e.g., rebates, 340B claims), and reporting packages to ensure accuracy and compliance.

  • Stay abreast of industry trends, policy changes, and regulatory updates; evaluate their potential impact on government pricing, GTN impact, pricing strategy, and financial forecasts.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external audits related to government pricing.

  • Oversee vendors and consultants providing government pricing support or software solutions.

  • Champion cross-functional initiatives related to FMV analysis, bona fide service fees, state transparency reporting, and other pricing-related special projects.

  • Minimum 10+ years of progressive experience in pharmaceutical finance, pricing, market access, or government programs

  • Deep expertise in U.S. Federal and State Pricing Programs (Medicaid, Medicare, VA/DoD, PHS/340B) and related regulations.
