Qualifications • Education : Not specified in the source job description; we evaluate demonstrated experience. • Licensure/Certification : None specified. • Experience : 2+ years of product management experience. (Required) • Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities : • Comfort working in a highly technical environment, including reading and discussing system design, APIs, integrations, and data flows with engineers. (Required) • Experience working directly with an engineering team in an agile environment. (Required) • Ability to set priorities independently and articulate the outcome of your work with metrics, results, or clear evidence of impact. (Required) • Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. (Required) • Ability to work on site in Columbus, Ohio on a regular basis. (Required) • Demonstrated application of the above Qualification • Experience with pharmacy in some capacity, such as PBM, dispensing or retail pharmacy, mail-order pharmacy, specialty pharmacy, or pharmacy-adjacent work through an EHR.
