  • Proven ability to cultivate relationships with third-party organizations, healthcare professionals, and caregivers
  • Understanding of core financial principles, including revenue, profitability, pricing structures, utilization, realization, budgeting, and forecasting
  • Digital experience is a plus
  • References should reflect your ability to build engaged, high-performing teams committed to collective success
  • In a fast-paced, evolving environment, you will set the foundation for successful outcomes for your account teams
