The Director, GTM Strategy & Commercialization reports to the Vice President of Product Growth and GTM and  will serving as the GTM partner to Finance on pricing strategy, business cases, and commercial models. The Director will coordinate inputs from Product, Sales, Finance, Value Management, Operations, Legal, Implementation, and other stakeholders; translate those inputs into clear business and market requirements; and help evaluate pricing scenarios, unit economics, investment needs, revenue implications, and commercial trade-offs. The leader will synthesize this work into decision-ready recommendations while operating within established financial governance and approval processes.

The leader will direct complex, cross-functional initiatives spanning commercialization, pricing and packaging, portfolio planning, launch readiness, sales enablement, and performance measurement. The role will establish clear workplans, decision points, accountable owners, milestones, and success measures, ensuring that product capabilities, customer needs, market dynamics, operational requirements, and financial considerations are integrated into a cohesive GTM approach.

The Director will help operationalize pricing and packaging decisions through governance processes, pricing tools, sales guidance, contracting inputs, launch materials, and field enablement.

Success requires a commercially oriented, analytically strong leader who can structure ambiguous problems, align senior stakeholders, surface risks and dependencies, and move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution. The Director must be able to convert complex cross-functional analysis into clear decisions and scalable actions that advance Optum Insight’s growth priorities.
