Since the inception of the human genome project, pharmaceutical and biotech companies have been developing new drug therapies at an accelerating pace, often without regard to the final cost which consumers will have to bear. Our client, one of the world's largest financial institutions, requires a state-of-the-art pharmacist who can understand the short-term and long-term therapeutic effects of these new wonder drugs and advise their actuarial staff on the cost implications of these products. Failure to provide adequate reserves for these very expensive drugs has left some insurers in very precarious circumstances and our client does not want to repeat the mistakes of the past. Yet at the same time our client has a fiduciary and moral responsibility to authorize life-saving medications. Consequently, we are searching for a seasoned pharmacy professional who is up to date on the latest therapies and can get a handle on new pipeline drugs that will be receiving Regulatory approval. The goal is to help streamline such approvals with respect to their pharmacoeconomic impact and determine which existing therapies have become redundant in light of the new stream of drugs that become available. Needless to say this position requires a pharmacist with exceptional negotiation and communication skills; someone who can work comfortably with Regulatory Bodies, Pharmacy Associations and the head office and field staff in our client company. The role also requires an understanding of "cognitive services" and how these can be applied to rationalize drug therapies.
A licensed pharmacist with 5 years experience in a similar role or someone who has been in a role that dovetails this type of role would be the ideal candidate. Salary will be in the $80-$100K range depending on qualifications and experience. An industry leading employee benefits package is included.
