• Represent PDL strategies to internal and external stakeholders (including key senior leaders) to gain support, including providing evidence of underlying need or opportunity, rationale for decisions and expected impact of any changes.
• Monitor US healthcare market with respect to assigned therapeutic areas and serve as subject matter expert on upcoming market events, trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Demonstrate clinical understanding of drug / therapeutic categories for assigned classes, including clinical drug guidelines and UHC Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee clinical designations.
