Contract Development Manager

Evio Overview

Evio is a highly unique pharmacy solutions company that was founded by and works closely with health plans to implement transformative (to cost, quality, access and experience) initiatives primarily focused on specialty and other high-cost medication solutions.

In 2020, a group of five amazing Blue Cross Blue Shield health plans that in total serve more than 20 million members recognized that the way medications get to patients needs significant reform—rapidly rising costs and massive system complexities are detrimental to patients and the entire industry. In 2025, Wellmark joined as Evio's first non-founding investor and sixth owner health plan. Each company made, and continues to make, significant investments to establish Evio as an independent entity to lead this transformation.

Evio has advanced analytics and contracting capabilities at scale , and a suite of digital tools , to power our high-cost medication solutions. Our solutions act as a self-reinforcing “flywheel” where each element strengthens and feeds into the next, and support an “Only Evio can do that,” mindset and prioritization.

Evio is also a company that has invested heavily in and been highly intentional about people, team and culture. We believe we have created a very special place to work and encourage candidates to observe and ask us about our culture and decide for themselves.

Evio's Values

• Empathy – The people our business serves always come first. We care for our teammates and put ourselves in the shoes of our health plan customers and the patients and clinicians our solutions benefit.
• Diversity – We are committed to fostering a culture where everyone belongs and is valued for their background, experience and insights – one that encourages diversity of ideas, and is a nurturing, trusting, and accepting place for all.

• Relentless – Guided by evidence and data, we are creative, curious, and unwavering in our pursuit of challenging the status quo and each other.
• Transparency – Just as we seek to bring transparency to the pharmacy supply chain, authenticity and integrity are core to the way we communicate.
• Excellence – We strive to raise the bar in all we do by hiring and developing exceptional talent and holding ourselves and our thinking to the highest standard.

• Maintain accurate and complete contract and RFP documentation throughout the pre-execution lifecycle.
• Support the implementation and adoption of the RFP platform and AI-enabled Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions, leveraging these tools to improve the efficiency and consistency of contract development and RFP activities.
• Identify and escalate complex, high-priority, or non-standard contracting matters to the Lead Contract Manager as appropriate.
• Work closely with Contract Manager Lead to communicate contracting priorities, status, significant issues, risks, and escalations, and support timely resolution of matters requiring leadership involvement.
• Partner with Contract Manager Lead to implement established Contract Management standards, quality controls, and process improvements across pre-execution contracting activities.
• Support continuous improvement of Contract Management processes, templates, tools, and workflows.
