Client Financial Analysis and Optimization - Senior Analyst

A Senior Analyst who joins the Client Financial Analysis and Optimization (CFAO) team provides financial consultation and pricing support to help CVS Caremark win and retain business. They will also work with the clients and their consultants, along with the CVS Caremark account teams to provide contracted pricing terms under CVS’ pricing model, TrueCost. Analysts working in CVS Caremark’s Client Financial Analysis and Optimization Team interact with individuals and teams that are both internal and external to the organization. The breadth of CVS Caremark services presents an opportunity to work with multiple functional areas including sales, clinical, account management, finance, underwriting, and product marketing. Activities of an analyst typically include validating and completing financial modeling, setting pricing terms to meet financial goals, presenting strategic plans that have been formulated with internal partners, creating and checking contract deliverable terms to ensure accuracy to the intended modeling, setting up pricing to operationalize agreed upon pricing with CVS Caremark clients, and presenting recommendations to Sr. Leadership. An individual who joins this team will develop and/or maintain expert knowledge of the rapidly changing healthcare marketplace, pharmacy benefits management competitive landscape, and CVS Caremark programs, services and sales goals. A candidate on this team will perform a variety of client analyses in response to pricing requests such as Request for Proposals (RFP’s) or Market Checks. This person then communicates pricing strategy to meet financial goals, including recommendations back to key business leaders and our clients or consultants representing them. The consultative nature of the position means there is potential for a high frequency of client facing activities and meetings. This may include on-site or teleconferenced presentations as an individual or team, and written documents for assigned clients and in support of other clients. Successful candidates will acquire and maintain a deep understanding of CVS Caremark’s business, products, services and support while using critical thinking and effective time management/organization to meet deadlines. As a part of the team, they will have a track record of accurate financial modeling, pricing analysis and business analytics. Using this knowledge and insight, they will provide clients or internal stakeholders with fact-based and data-driven strategic guidance on CVS Caremark solutions that will help meet both client and internal goals.
