- Work collaboratively with internal departments such as underwriting, marketing, strategic partnerships, product, implementation, and customer success teams to develop go-to-market strategies and efficiencies to successfully onboard new clients.
- Finalize contract terms and support the accurate translation of the proposal into a contractual agreement.
- Maintain a disciplined, well-documented sales process in Salesforce, using data and forecasting accuracy to track and report sales activity to company leaders and manage deals from discovery to close.
- Participate in and attend business events, conferences, trade shows, and seminars.
WHO YOU ARE:
- 5+ years of direct PBM sales experience, ideally selling to self-funded employers, TPAs, brokers, or consultants.

Our humanity binds us together. We bring the same empathetic approach to every individual we engage with, whether it be our members, our clients, or each other. We are all worthy of respect and understanding and we engage in our interactions with care and intention. We honor our stories. We listen to—and hear—each other, we celebrate our differences and similarities, we are present for each other, and we strive for mutual understanding.

We always look beyond the obstacles in front of us to imagine new solutions. We approach our work with inspiration from other industries, other leaders, and other challenges. We use ingenuity and resourcefulness when faced with tough problems.
3) We debate then commit
We believe that a spirit of open discourse is part of a healthy culture. We understand and appreciate different perspectives and we challenge our assumptions.

Once a decision is made, we align and champion it as one team.

Changing healthcare doesn’t happen overnight. We reflect and learn from challenges and approach the future with a determination to strive for better. In the face of daunting situations, we value persistence. We embrace failure as a stepping stone to future success. On this journey, we seek to act with guts, resilience, initiative, and tenacity.

Healthcare is complicated and personal. We work tirelessly to meet the goals of our clients while also delivering the best experience to our members. We recognize that no matter the role or team, we each play a crucial part in our members’ care and take that responsibility seriously.
