You will be an advocate for commercial value-based programs, both internally and externally. In this key individual contributor role, you’ll need to be inquisitive; data will inform your decisions, and a deep intellectual curiosity will drive you to regularly ask questions that further our understanding of what drives performance, where gaps exist and how to best fill them.

For you solving a complex problem means being innovative and creative, asking all the right questions and effectively digging into the data along the way. You have a knack for managing health care organization relationships and multiple priorities. You enjoy working in an environment that isn't always defined or straightforward - working 'in the gray' is exciting to you. From time-to-time there may be difficult conversations and scenarios to work through, but the variety and challenge drives you to succeed as you have a hunger to learn and grow in your career!  If this sounds like you, apply for this opportunity today! This position will work a hybrid schedule of at least 3 days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) in Wellmark's Des Moines office, with 2 days (Monday, Friday) remote option.
