Role Description
As Director, Clinical Pharmacy Stars Performance, you are the tactical owner of every clinical pharmacy-related measure in our Medicare Advantage and Part D Star Ratings portfolio. Your job is to drive our clinical pharmacy Stars enterprise strategy into daily reality, measure by measure, member by member, week by week.
You will be the enterprise clinical subject matter expert on pharmacy quality:
-
The person Medical Directors call before they call anyone else.
-
The person who reads the Technical Notes the day they drop.
-
The person who can tell us in February where a cut point is going to land in October and what we need to do about it now.
You will also be the person building the tracker, setting the objectives and key results, and personally auditing whether the outreach was actually effective. You will report directly to the AVP, Pharmacy, carrying the portfolio into executive meetings, leading cross-functional escalations, and owning outcomes.

Performance Management & Insight Generation:
Own the performance trajectory of the full clinical pharmacy Star portfolio, including:

Polypharmacy: Use of Multiple Anticholinergic Medications in Older Adults (Poly-ACH)
