Position summary
The SVP of Pharmacy Relations sets the standard for how RxSense engages, retains, and grows its pharmacy relationships and brings consistency to how RxSense discount card brands and account managers serve our pharmacy clients. This role is responsible for partner retention, satisfaction, and organic growth across RxSense's portfolio of pharmacy relationships, and all facets of retail, mail and specialty contracting across all business segments (cash and funded).
You will lead a small team of account and relationship managers and partner closely with the pricing, contracting, and reconciliation teams who will continue to own those functions, so the SVP can focus on the relationship, the strategy, and the growth opportunity. This is a highly visible role with regular exposure to RxSense executive leadership and to senior leaders throughout the retail pharmacy industry.
Key responsibilities
Proactive account management

- Develop deep insight into each partner's business, market position, and long-term objectives, and ensure RxSense's engagement plan is aligned to them.
- Bring consistency across account managers, pharmacy clients, and RxSense brands (including SingleCare, ParamountRx, and Integris), so partners experience one coordinated RxSense rather than separate teams.
Growth and opportunity identification

- Identify and pursue organic growth opportunities within existing accounts and clearly communicate the value RxSense already delivers so it is recognized and rewarded.
Team leadership
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of account and relationship managers, standardizing practices, tools, and reporting across the portfolio.
Feedback and innovation loop
- Establish a structured feedback loop from pharmacy partners back into RxSense's product and technology teams to inform new solutions.
- Partner cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Operations, Underwriting and the pricing and contracting teams to deliver a seamless partner experience end to end.
