Vice President, Clinical Strategy and Product

It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The Vice President, Clinical Strategy & Product owns LucyRx's clinical and non-clinical product portfolio end to end — defining what gets built, why it wins in market, and how clinical evidence, formulary strategy, and client-facing clinical engagement come together in a sellable offering. Reporting to the SVP, Clinical Solutions & Client Experience, this leader oversees three functions: the product management team, the clinical account executive team, and formulary strategy. The role converts market and client insight into a prioritized roadmap, owns the investment case and pricing model for each program, and ensures clinical value is a decisive differentiator in the sales cycle.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Product & Clinical Strategy

• Own the clinical and non-clinical product portfolio — prioritizing against market, client, and evidence inputs, and setting roadmap sequencing.
• Define the clinical strategy across priority therapeutic categories (e.g., diabetes, women's health, cardiovascular, specialty) and translate it into differentiated, buildable product offerings.
• Monitor clinical evidence, treatment trends, regulatory change, and competitive moves to inform product design and positioning.
• Integrate formulary strategy with product strategy so clinical programs, benefit design, and net-cost performance reinforce one another.

Leadership

• Lead a three-function organization — product management, clinical account management, and formulary strategy — against a single roadmap and one clinical point of view.
• Set the bar for how work reaches market: discovery rigor, business case quality, launch readiness, and the evidence behind every claim the team makes, with formulary and benefit design decisions made alongside product decisions rather than after them.
• Recruit, coach, and retain senior clinical and commercial talent, and build succession depth across all three functions.

Commercial & Financial Ownership

• Own the investment case and pricing model for each clinical program; approve investments within the VP delegated authority threshold and pricing within the approved rate card, and recommend anything above to the SVP.
• Partner with Sales, Underwriting, and Finance to ensure clinical products are priced, packaged, and positioned to win.
• Establish KPIs and reporting on adoption, revenue, margin, and clinical outcomes across the portfolio.

Execution & Governance

• Partner with Technology on build sequencing, scope trade-offs, and release planning.
• Govern clinical evidence standards and outcomes measurement for launched programs, and recommend iterate, scale, or sunset.
• Ensure products meet PBM regulatory, contractual, and clinical program standards in partnership with Compliance and Legal.
