Director of Client Success

Director, Client Success Client Success | Full-Time | Reports to VP/SVP, Client Success Reports To SVP, Client Success Key Collaborators Strategy & Analytics · Product · Operations · Commercial Leadership Primary Focus Retention · Expansion · Cross-sell Ideal Background Pharma patient services, sales training, or reimbursement hub experience POSITION OVERVIEW THE ROLE PHIL is seeking a Director of Client Success who will serve as the primary strategic partner for a portfolio of pharmaceutical manufacturer clients. This is fundamentally a relationship and growth role — not an operational support role. The Director will own client retention, drive expansion (increasing the share of a client's prescriptions routed through PHIL versus other channels), and identify cross-sell opportunities across additional brands within client organizations. The Director operates as the internal quarterback for every client engagement. While PHIL's Strategy/Analytics, Product, and Operations teams will regularly appear in client conversations as subject-matter experts, this role is responsible for orchestrating those interactions, ensuring continuity of the client relationship, and translating client priorities into coordinated action across PHIL's organization. This role is the client's advocate inside PHIL and PHIL's most important voice in the client relationship. The Director must be equally credible with a VP of Market Access and a field sales trainer — and must be able to move fluidly between strategic conversations and operational follow-through.   CORE RESPONSIBILITIES WHAT YOU WILL OWN 1. RETENTION — DEEPENING CLIENT CONVICTION Build and sustain deep, multi-level relationships across each client organization — from day-to-day program contacts through VP and SVP-level commercial and market access leadership. Ensure clients maintain strong conviction in the value PHIL delivers, with every engagement reinforcing that PHIL is a strategic partner, not a vendor. - Own the overall health and satisfaction of each assigned account; be the first to know when something is at risk and the first to act on it - Lead Quarterly Business Reviews end-to-end — coordinating PHIL's Strategy/Analytics and Product leads as SMEs, but owning the room, the commercial narrative, and the follow-through - Proactively identify and resolve issues before clients raise them; set the internal standard that no client should ever surface a problem PHIL didn't already know about - Build multi-level relationship maps for each account; actively expand relationships beyond the single point of contact to ensure executive visibility and stakeholder depth - Develop client advocates — individuals who will speak credibly about PHIL to peers and serve as references for new business 2. EXPANSION — GROWING SCRIPT SHARE Drive measurable expansion in each client's share of prescriptions routed through PHIL versus retail and other channels. Understand the commercial levers that move script share and work with clients' commercial and sales organizations to activate them. - Develop a deep understanding of each client's sales structure, territory model, and field team priorities — and build relationships with sales leadership and sales training teams to ensure PHIL is embedded in commercial execution - Translate program performance data into commercial narratives that resonate with brand and commercial leaders — framing insights in terms of net revenue impact, not just operational metrics - Work with Strategy/Analytics team to identify and recommend program optimizations (business rule changes, copay adjustments, affordability program design) that meaningfully improve pull-through rates and patient conversion - Track script share performance at the territory and HCP level; surface opportunity areas to the client's field team and sales leadership 3. CROSS-SELL — IDENTIFYING NEW BRAND OPPORTUNITIES Leverage deep relationships within existing client organizations to identify other pharma brands that would benefit from PHIL's platform. Act as an intelligent referral source for PHIL's commercial team. - Develop sufficient understanding of each client's portfolio to recognize brands that would benefit from PHIL's hub and pharmacy model - Build relationships with commercial leaders across multiple business units within each client organization — not just the teams managing current PHIL programs - Identify expansion signals (new launches, pipeline products, dissatisfaction with existing hub partners) and communicate them to PHIL's commercial team in a timely and structured way - Participate in new brand conversations alongside PHIL's commercial team, providing credibility through the existing relationship and institutional knowledge of the client 4. INTERNAL QUARTERBACKING — ORCHESTRATING PHIL'S CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAM Serve as the connective tissue across PHIL's internal teams — Strategy/Analytics, Product, and Operations — ensuring the client's priorities are understood and acted upon across the organization, and that the client experiences a seamless, coordinated partnership regardless of which PHIL team members they're engaging with. - Maintain a complete picture of each account: open priorities, ongoing initiatives, relationship dynamics, recent interactions across all PHIL functions, and upcoming decision points - Coordinate the participation of Strategy/Analytics, Product, and Operations leads in client engagements — briefing them on context, setting clear objectives for each interaction, and ensuring follow-through on commitments - Serve as the client's internal voice at PHIL: represent client priorities in product roadmap discussions, escalate operational issues with appropriate urgency, and advocate for investments that will improve client outcomes - Maintain clear accountability between internal teams — ensuring that client-facing commitments are tracked and that no action item falls through the gaps in a cross-functional handoff - Build and maintain an account plan for each client that is visible to all relevant internal stakeholders and updated regularly   WHAT GREAT LOOKS LIKE 18-MONTH SUCCESS PROFILE A Director of Client Success who is performing at a high level at PHIL will be described by clients as a trusted advisor who understands their business, not just their program. Internally, they will be known as the person who always knows what's happening with their accounts and who makes cross-functional execution feel seamless. - Clients in their portfolio renew at a high rate and proactively expand their relationship with PHIL - Script share is measurably growing across their portfolio of accounts, with clear commercial narratives connecting PHIL's work to net revenue outcomes - They have identified at least one cross-sell opportunity per major client and have active conversations in progress with PHIL's commercial team - They have executive-level relationships at each client (VP/SVP Market Access, Commercial, or Patient Services) — not just day-to-day program contacts - They have built at least one identifiable advocate per account — someone who will take a peer call and speak credibly about PHIL - They are never the last to know about a problem with one of their accounts — they surface issues before clients raise them - Their clients' field teams and sales leadership view PHIL as a commercial partner, not a back-office function   QUALIFICATIONS BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE IDEAL BACKGROUND (PRIMARY FIT) The strongest candidates will have spent meaningful time inside a pharmaceutical company in a patient services, reimbursement, hub operations, or sales training capacity. This background produces a Director who understands the commercial pressures clients face, how field sales teams are structured and motivated, and what "great" looks like for a market access or hub program — not from the outside, but from having lived it. - 5+ years of experience within a pharmaceutical manufacturer in one or more of the following roles: - Patient services, patient access, or reimbursement program leadership - Hub or specialty pharmacy program management (manufacturer-side) - Sales training, field force effectiveness, or commercial operations - Market access, payer strategy, or value & access - Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally within a complex organization and influence without direct authority - Track record of building strong relationships with commercial and market access leadership CLIENT SUCCESS / ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE (STRONG PLUS) Prior experience in a client success, account management, or strategic partnerships role at a hub services company, specialty pharmacy, or healthcare technology company is a meaningful differentiator. Candidates with this background combined with pharma industry experience are strongly preferred. - Experience managing a portfolio of pharmaceutical manufacturer clients - Familiarity with hub services metrics: enrollment rates, pull-through/PTR, script share, GTN vs. retail, refill rates - Experience delivering QBRs and business reviews to VP/SVP-level stakeholders SKILLS & CAPABILITIES (ALL CANDIDATES) - Exceptional relationship and communication skills — equally comfortable in a strategic conversation with a SVP and a working session with a field sales trainer - Commercially oriented — able to translate operational program data into net revenue narratives that resonate with brand and commercial leaders - Strong orchestration and project management instincts — comfortable coordinating multiple internal stakeholders on behalf of a client without letting anything fall through the cracks - Data-literate — able to read and interpret program performance data, identify meaningful patterns, and frame them as insights rather than just reporting - Executive presence and credibility — able to command a room at the VP/SVP level without losing approachability with day-to-day contacts - Proactive and anticipatory — wired to get ahead of problems, not react to them - Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in business, healthcare, or a related field is a plus   WHY PHIL THE OPPORTUNITY PHIL is redefining how pharmaceutical manufacturers connect patients to the therapies they need. Our digital hub and pharmacy platform is built to eliminate the friction in patient access — from enrollment and benefits verification through prior authorization, copay support, and dispensing — and to give manufacturers the commercial insight they need to drive better outcomes. The Director of Client Success role sits at the center of PHIL's growth strategy. Peer referrals and trusted relationships are the primary driver of how pharmaceutical manufacturers select hub partners — which means every client relationship this Director builds and deepens is directly contributing to PHIL's ability to win new business. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with direct exposure to PHIL's senior leadership and a clear path to growth as the company scales. PHIL is at an inflection point in its growth. The Director of Client Success joining now will help define how we show up for clients as we scale — and will have an outsized influence on both PHIL's client experience and its commercial trajectory.
