Director, PBM Clinical Programs

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a strategic, innovative, and data-driven Director of PBM Clinical Programs to lead the design, delivery, and optimization of our clinical outreach programs—including Care Complete: Diabetes and Care Complete: Weight Management. This role is accountable for driving Rightway’s “Triple Aim”: enhancing the member experience, improving health outcomes, and reducing healthcare costs.

As a key clinical leader within the PBM business, the Director will manage a multidisciplinary team of pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians who engage directly with PBM members. You’ll develop and refine staffing models to support program delivery at scale, while collaborating cross-functionally with nurses, dietitians, and other clinician partners to ensure holistic member care.

This role is equal parts clinical leadership, operational strategy, and business impact. You will own the financial performance (gross margin) of the clinical programs, provide regular outcome reporting to clients—including engagement rates, clinical improvements, and financial guarantees—and serve as a clinical subject matter expert in sales efforts to expand program adoption.

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Provide strategic and operational leadership over Rightway’s clinical outreach programs, including Care Complete: Diabetes and Weight Management.
• Design and launch future clinical initiatives that contribute to Rightway revenue, cost savings, and/or measurable member health improvements.
• Lead and develop a high-performing clinical team of pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians.
• Develop and optimize staffing and resourcing models to ensure scalable, high-quality clinical program delivery.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal clinical teams, Product, D&I, and Marketing to build and launch member-first clinical programs.
• Partner with Sales and Client Success to demonstrate the value of Rightway’s clinical programs in both client retention and new business efforts.
• Monitor and report on program engagement, health outcomes, and performance against financial guarantees.
• Ensure programs operate at a financially sustainable gross margin and meet internal performance targets.
• Use data and insights to continuously refine strategy, improve member outcomes, and scale impact.

WHO YOU ARE:

• PharmD required; MBA or related business degree preferred.
• 5+ years of experience leading clinical programs and people, preferably within a PBM or health plan setting.
• Proven success driving results across large-scale, cross-functional clinical and operational initiatives.
• Experience in client-facing roles, including program delivery, reporting, and/or sales enablement.
• Deep understanding of pharmacy clinical care, population health, and member engagement strategies.
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable using data to drive decisions, prioritize initiatives, and measure impact.
• Demonstrated ability to build inclusive teams and foster collaborative, mission-aligned partnerships.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ownership mindset; thrives in ambiguity and motivated by building in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
