A Day in the Life (What you will do here):

Performance Management

• Monthly Results Review: Review, publish, and explain monthly results, analyzing variances and providing driver-level commentary. This includes identifying key performance indicators (KPIs) and tracking them against targets to ensure the financial health of the PSP BU.
• Financial Modeling: Develop and maintain detailed financial models for existing programs. These models should encompass service revenues, resource models, drug revenues, other direct costs, and passthrough revenue and costs. The models will be used to forecast future financial performance and support strategic decision-making.
• Variance Analysis: Conduct thorough variance analysis to understand the reasons behind deviations from the budget or forecast. Provide actionable insights and recommendations to address any issues and improve financial performance.
• Cost Management: Monitor and control costs associated with existing programs. Work closely with program managers to identify cost-saving opportunities and implement measures to optimize resource allocation and expenditure.
• Performance Reporting: Prepare and present comprehensive performance reports to senior management. These reports should highlight key financial metrics, trends, and insights, and provide a clear understanding of the financial status of the PSP BU.
• Collaboration with PSP Teams: Assist PSP teams with various initiatives, including billing methodology changes, hiring decisions, copay reserve calculations, and pricing. Provide financial expertise and support to ensure that these initiatives are financially viable and aligned with the overall goals of the PSP BU.
• Continuous Improvement: Continuously seek opportunities to improve financial processes and systems. Implement best practices and leverage technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of performance management activities.
• Financial Modeling for New Programs: Build multiyear financial models with various assumptions to support decision-making for new PSP programs. These models should account for different pricing scenarios and help forecast the financial impact of new programs.
• Standard Pricing List Management: Own and maintain the standard pricing list, making periodic updates based on competitive information, cost changes, and process improvements. Ensure that the pricing list remains accurate and reflective of current market conditions.
• Assumption Documentation: Capture all assumptions used in financial models and pricing strategies. Validate assumptions with actuals for proxy molecules. Develop resource models to provide monthly hiring plans based on manufacturer expectations and patient enrollment numbers.
• Cost and Revenue Simulation: Simulate costs and revenues under various pricing models, including Fee per Patient, Fees for Service, and Cost-Plus models. Analyze the financial implications of each model and recommend the most suitable pricing strategy.
• Strategic Recommendations: Make informed recommendations on reinvestment into the program based on expected overall program contribution. Provide insights on how to optimize pricing strategies to maximize profitability and ensure sustainable growth.
• RFP Support: Collaborate with the PSP Business Development team to fill in templates and provide financial information as requested by manufacturers in Request for Proposals (RFPs).
