Principal Commercial Strategy Advisor

Surescripts serves the nation through simpler, trusted health intelligence sharing, in order to increase patient safety, lower costs and ensure quality care. We deliver insights at critical points of care for better decisions — from streamlining prior authorizations to delivering comprehensive medication histories to facilitating messages between providers.
 

The Principal Commercial Strategy Advisor provides expertise, analysis (including financial), recommendations, and direction for the existing product portfolio and for specific market and product opportunities (including opportunities with biopharmaceutical companies) and will support the company's strategic growth through transactions (including partnerships and M&A). This role additionally has a focus on understanding the buyer needs that Surescripts portfolio of offerings (including future offerings) can solve. Working within Strategy’s “two in a box” partnership with Product teams, this role supports Strategy’s ownership of the commercial relationship for assigned products, including deals, pricing, and the market-facing narrative. This role also drives portfolio and life cycle management of Surescripts’ existing offerings, ensuring each product’s positioning, pricing, and investment remain aligned with market needs and business performance from launch through maturity and retirement.

The Principal Commercial Strategy Advisor develops value propositions, ROI models, and pricing recommendations for assigned products, and provides analysis and recommendations to senior leaders and inputs to key cross-functional partners involved in the go-to-market and development of our solutions, including with partners. This role will lead and develop business cases for new opportunities in partnership with other departments such as Product and Marketing, and represent recommendations to other partners in Growth and Strategy. This role requires use of analytical skills and strong business intuition to synthesize and make recommendations based on imperfect data. This role will work in a fast-paced environment, independently and cross-functionally (across growth, product, sales, account management, implementation, finance, marketing, business intelligence, etc.), to drive action across the organization.

As a strategy-minded member of the Growth team, you enjoy cross-disciplinary problem solving. You are motivated by multifaceted challenges that require you to quickly identify the data points that matter and generate a hypothesis. You are relentless in your pursuit of continuous improvement with the chops to dive into analytics, then step back to see the forest for the trees. You prefer a good narrative over a fancy PowerPoint slide. You provide market-focused expertise and industry understanding that builds trust and influences customer behavior.
 

Surescripts Growth is a team of both thinkers and doers. We pressure test our ideas and then move past thinking to put our plans into action. We’re ambitious, yet realistic, with our goal in mind: to increase the value of the Surescripts Network Alliance.
 

We love a good framework, of course. But we also work to understand our ever-evolving role as a network business and how our solutions impact our customers and the patients and providers they serve. We take on some of the most pressing opportunities and problems facing our business. And we thrive in this fast-paced environment.
