About the Opportunity

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 payment integrity organization that serves U.S. health insurers, employers, and pharmacy benefit managers by identifying, recovering, and preventing pharmacy claim overpayments. This role has significant autonomy and significant expectations. Success is measured in recovery performance, operational efficiency, and the strength of the team you build.

What you’ll do

People Leadership

• 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.

Workflow and Performance Optimization

• 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

[…]
lly about the business’s hardest problems and bring solutions, not just escalations.

• Compassionate but clear-eyed. You care about every person on your team and build an environment where people feel genuinely supported. You also act decisively and fairly when someone is not the right fit for the role, following a consistent and respectful process.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and ownership. You are given goals rather than instructions, and you prefer it that way.

Pay range : $150,000 - $225,000 USD. This is an exempt position and salary range is for base salary. Compensation will be determined based on several factors including, but not limited to, skill set, years of experience, and the employee’s geographic location.

What’s in it for you

• PTO, Paid Holidays, and Volunteer Days
• Eligibility for health, vision and dental coverage, 401(k) plan participation with company match, and flexible spending accounts
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Eligibility for company-paid benefits including life insurance, short-term disability, and parental leave.
