This role offers location flexibility and is open to candidates across the United States.

Specific inoffice days may be designated based on team needs and business priorities.

About The Role:

The Sr. Director, Strategy (Oncology & Multispecialty) is the first level of true initiative ownership, owning strategic initiatives end-to-end: framing the problem, designing the approach, leading the analytical team, developing the recommendation, and syndicating it with business leaders through to a decision. This is a senior-level individual contributor role. Initiatives span both commercial segments - provider-facing (GPO, specialty distribution, specialty pharmacy, alternate site infusion, practice management) and biopharma-facing (clinical trial site management, real-world evidence, clinicogenomic data) - and frequently sit at the intersection between the two, where the segment's most distinctive strategic questions live.

The Sr. Director leads cross-functional initiative teams and guides the work of Senior Managers, analysts, and business partners through structured problem solving, analytical direction, and high-quality feedback, while formal performance and development accountability remains with people leaders.

What You'll Do:

Strategic Initiative Leadership

• Lead strategic initiatives end-to-end - from problem definition and workplan design through analysis, recommendation development, syndication, and hand-off to execution owners.

• Structure ambiguous, contested problems into clear hypotheses, workplans, and decision paths; insist on clear problem definition, logic, and evidence.

• Develop recommendations that reflect genuine choices with explicit trade-offs - not lists of initiatives - grounded in the financial architecture of specialty care and biopharma services markets.

• Prepare and run productive problem-solving sessions with business partners across both franchises; engage stakeholders in joint problem solving rather than delivering conclusions to them.

Specialty Value Chain Economics & Financial Analysis

• Serve as a knowledgeable resource on the financial architecture of the specialty care and biopharma services value chains - including buy-and-bill economics, 340B mechanics, GPO and distribution economics, specialty pharmacy P&Ls, infusion site-of-care dynamics, and the economics of clinical research and RWE businesses among others as required by the business.

• Direct and quality-control the financial models built by the team; ensure every significant analysis identifies the assumptions that matter most and translates market shifts into quantified P&L implications.

• Analyze the financial and competitive consequences of regulatory and policy developments - 340B reform, Part B reimbursement policy, oncology care model evolution, biosimilar adoption, and FDA policy on RWE - within the scope of assigned initiatives.

• Contribute to scenario analysis of structural moves by value chain participants - practice consolidation, PBM vertical integration, health system expansion into community oncology, and technology platform entry among others.

Thought Partnership & Syndication

• Act as a credible thought partner to business and customer leaders within the scope of assigned initiatives; challenge assumptions constructively and surface inconvenient facts early.

• Understand the organization's culture and individual stakeholder perspectives - including clinical and operational leaders - and consider them in crafting recommendations the business can actually execute.

• Develop thoughtful plans to engage stakeholders through the process - from fact-finding to solution development - to build alignment as the work proceeds, not after it concludes.

Communication

• Deliver compelling written and oral communications to senior business audiences; lead with key messages, present persuasively and with conviction, and tailor materials to the audience.

• Ask questions; actively listen and respond and generate real value from meetings, discussions, and workshops, including conversations spanning clinical oncology, practice operations, and data science.

Team Leadership & Development

• Partner with and direct teams; scope work realistically against team capacity and deliver high-quality output without undue crunch.

• Coach team members in a strengths-based way; provide insightful, timely feedback; shape step-up opportunities that stretch colleagues.

• Contribute to a positive, inclusive team climate and to function-building efforts including recruiting and knowledge development.

Execution Support

• Translate approved recommendations into implementation roadmaps with clear owners, milestones, and metrics; support transformation programs through their early execution phases.

• Create feedback loops that surface early execution signals back into the strategic logic.

Basic Requirements:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in strategy, including engagement-leadership experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm or equivalent project-leadership experience in a corporate strategy function.

• Experience in healthcare services, specialty care, life sciences, health data, or adjacent industries; demonstrated ability to build working fluency in complex, clinically grounded value chain economics quickly.

• Track record of leading cross-functional strategic projects end-to-end that resulted in concrete decisions and measurable action - not just analysis delivered to others.

• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop small analytical teams.

• Executive presence and demonstrated effectiveness presenting to and influencing senior leaders.

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• Problem Framer: Structures problems soundly using core problem-solving disciplines; translates ambiguity into hypotheses, workplans, and decision paths; embraces qualitative, people, and relationship-based problem solving alongside the quantitative.

• Specialty Value Chain Fluency: Possesses working knowledge of specialty care and biopharma services economics - buy-and-bill, 340B, specialty pharmacy, infusion, practice management fees, and CRO/RWE business models - and applies it as a core analytical lens, not background knowledge.

• Recommendation Development: Synthesizes complete sets of implications into well-syndicated recommendations framed as genuine choices with explicit trade-offs; controls quality and process across the initiative.

• Challenge Senior Leadership: Challenges stakeholder and team assumptions constructively; brings new insights; is developing the trust-based relationships that make challenge welcome rather than resisted.

• Develop People: Coaches team members in a strengths-based way, solicits feedback, and creates the conditions for high performance and team health.

• Communication: Prepares well-structured documents with minimal guidance; presents well to audiences of all sizes; fosters constructive dialogue and balances asking with telling.

• Comfort with uncertainty: Develop and communicate recommendations at the speed required by the business, navigating incomplete information and making and supporting required assumptions to address business needs.

Physical Requirements:

• General office demands

• Must have the ability to travel up to 25% of the time

• Candidates that reside within 50 miles of Irving, TX will be required to be onsite 2 days per week
