Here, you will find a culture guided by diversity and inclusion, talented peers, comprehensive benefits, and career development opportunities. Come make an impact on the communities we serve as you help us advance health equity on a global scale. Join us to start Caring. Connecting. Growing together.

About the Role:

As a Fortune 5 business, we're one of the world's leading healthcare companies. There are no limits here on the resources you'll have or the challenges you'll encounter.

We have been supporting global healthcare systems from Ireland and the UK for more than 20 years, building a dynamic and diverse team of more than 2,100 talented individuals. With a continued record of growth and stability, we're on the constant lookout for fresh talent to join our expanding teams.

Optum is looking for an experienced, curious, and self-motivated individual who will be responsible for developing and managing relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers in order to negotiate rebate discounts in exchange for formulary access to UHG enterprise Commercial books of business (OptumRx, UHC). The successful candidate will report to the Senior Director of Industry Relations, Emisar. We are looking for people who can collaborate cross-functionally with various business, finance, operations, and clinical teams, demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple competing business projects at one time.

Careers with Optum offer flexible work arrangements and individuals who live and work in the Republic of Ireland will have the opportunity to split their monthly work hours between our Dublin or Letterkenny offices and telecommuting from a home-based office in a hybrid work model.

Primary Responsibilities:

  1. Navigation of the US healthcare market with respect to US Commercial pharmacy benefit design and operations.
  2. Financial modeling analytics for rebate optimization and lowest net cost strategy assessment of pharmaceutical products.
  3. Clinical knowledge of multiple therapeutic categories for manufacturer assignments (e.g., CV, Diabetes, Respiratory disease).
  4. Coordination of the redlining process as well as communications and negotiations of contractual terms and conditions in tandem with internal stakeholders (Emisar IR leadership, legal, clinical, contracting).
  5. Execute contract negotiations and interactions with pharmaceutical manufacturers that are in compliance with UHG corporate policies, directives, business goals, and objectives.
  6. Manage regular reports and updates for the leadership team reflecting business performance and priorities.
  7. An understanding and knowledge of established clinical guidelines determined by OptumRx P&T.
  8. Act as a strategic thought leader to solve unique and complex problems with broad impact on the business.

Required Qualifications:

  • Undergraduate degree or equivalent.
  • Understanding of competitive landscape and familiarity with pharmaceuticals or healthcare industry.
  • Experience in contract negotiations, strategy development, and contract redlining experience.
  • Proven ability to work well and collaboratively, with multiple teams or departments for business growth or profitability goals.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to speak clearly and concisely, conveying complex or technical information in a manner that others can understand, as well as ability to understand and interpret complex information.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy.
  • Advanced degree (MBA or PharmD).
  • Experience in managed health care or pharmacy benefit management.

Please note you must currently be eligible to work and remain indefinitely without any restrictions in the country to which you are making an application. Proof will be required to support your application.

All telecommuters will be required to adhere to the UnitedHealth Group's Telecommuter Policy.

At UnitedHealth Group, our mission is to help people live healthier lives and make the health system work better for everyone. We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location, and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups, and those with lower incomes. We are committed to mitigating our impact on the environment and enabling and delivering equitable care that addresses health disparities and improves health outcomes — an enterprise priority reflected in our mission.
