Hybrid  The Senior Category Manager, Pharmacy leads sourcing and category strategy for Duly Health enterprise pharmaceutical and drug-related spend categories, driving cost savings, cost avoidance, supply reliability, and contract compliance across the organization. This role manages the full sourcing lifecycle for assigned categories — from market analysis and RFP execution to GPO and manufacturer contract negotiation and supplier relationship management — balancing cost efficiency with the clinical, regulatory, and continuity-of-supply requirements unique to pharmaceutical sourcing.

This role requires a working knowledge of specialty pharmaceutical landscapes such as biosimilars, oncology, specialty distribution and specialty GPO.  This knowledge is in addition to a clear understanding of Infusion, MID Pharmacy, Retail and Physician Office space.

* Synthesizes drug pricing trends, manufacturer landscape shifts, shortage risk, and GPO contract changes into forward-looking category strategies, rather than reacting to individual sourcing events
