Business Analyst

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.
