Director, Revenue Optimization
About the role
The Director, Revenue Optimization sets pricing and go-to-market strategy across multiple product and business lines. This role requires a revenue-maximization mindset—not price-maximization—and extends PDS Health's leadership in building the next phase of integrated healthcare. This role uses in-depth economic, market, and statistical analysis to shape go-to-market and pricing strategies for PDS Health and its business lines, including dental, medical, payor, tech, and innovation. Recommendations span existing business lines as well as cross-department and new product opportunities. This role also develops bundled, branded dental and health plan recommendations that deliver world-class patient care and value for the payer, while helping PDS Health meet its revenue and margin targets.
