At Machinify, we’re constantly reimagining what’s possible in our industry—creating disruptively simple, powerfully clear ways to maximize our clients’ financial outcomes today and drive down healthcare costs tomorrow. As part of the Pharmacy team, you will lead and scale our pharmacy operations organization. This is a senior leadership role for an operator who is equally comfortable in a client‑facing strategy conversation and in the production system reviewing a claim line by line.

The VP owns the performance, culture, and continuous improvement of a multi-layered pharmacy operations team, translating strategic priorities into executed change. You will build a high‑accountability, high‑support culture; systematically remove waste and manual effort from our workflows; and serve as a visible leader internally and a credible representative of Machinify to clients and prospects.

This role has significant autonomy and significant expectations. Success is measured in recovery performance, operational efficiency, and the strength of the team you build.

• Lead a pharmacy operations organization with direct reports ranging from Senior Manager through Director level, and overall accountability for the broader team beneath them.
• Build and sustain a culture that holds team members to demanding performance standards while making Machinify a place people want to work. These are complementary objectives.
• Coach and train managers to recognize underperformance early and conduct clear, constructive, well‑documented performance conversations.
• Recognize and publicize excellent work; create visible standards for what great performance looks like.
• Champion and lead employee engagement and cultural initiatives; remain visible and accessible to employees at every level of the organization.
• Partner closely with People Operations on hiring, workforce planning, policy development, and consistent enforcement of expectations.

• Continuously identify efficiency opportunities across pharmacy operations workflows and eliminate steps that do not create value.
• Re‑engineer unnecessarily manual processes, selecting the most effective solution path for each problem:
• Applying an existing internal or vendor tool that directly solves the problem
• Repurposing or extending an existing tool
• Partnering with Software Engineering to scope and prioritize a custom solution
• Identify, codify, and teach superior operating techniques — from call handling and verbal persuasiveness to efficient system navigation and parallel task execution.
• Set, communicate, and manage to clear performance expectations and productivity targets across recovery outcomes, case throughput, and outbound contact activity.
• Use operational data to diagnose root causes rather than symptoms, and to prioritize where improvement effort is spent.

• Independently own strategic initiatives end to end: build the plan, assign responsibilities, sequence the work, and drive cross-functional collaboration to implement change quickly and durably.
• Serve as a communications leader internally, including regular presentation at All Hands and other company‑wide forums.
• Interface directly with clients and with the Executive Leadership Team; act as a primary presenter on external client and sales calls as needed.
• Bring the operational point of view into company‑level strategy, technology roadmap, and client commitment discussions.
