GSK Portfolio Retail Channel Manager

GSK   Portfolio   Retail Channel   Manager

Background:

Retail pharmacy   Management and   pull-through is the final mile of commercial execution for   GSK’s product   portfolio. Formulary access, payer contracting, and hub program design create the conditions for patient access, but it is pharmacist engagement, co-pay program activation, and system-level dispensing accuracy at the retail account level that   determine   whether access translates into fills. The retail pharmacy channel encompasses both major national chain pharmacies, where contracts and access are established and the work is pull-through execution, and smaller corporate regional chains, where the manufacturer must cultivate and own the corporate relationship to maintain portfolio access and dispensing performance across the enterprise footprint.

Role Description:

The   Portfolio   Retail Channel   Man a ger   is   an   account leader accountable for commercial pull-through performance and corporate relationship management across the retail pharmacy channel for the total portfolio. This role   operates   across two distinct but complementary accountability lanes: driving pull-through execution at major national retail chains and owning the corporate-level relationships and account strategy for smaller regional retail chains.

This is a portfolio role manag ing   the retail channel as an enterprise asset, not a brand-by-brand campaign. Brand teams are internal customers of this role. You will   be responsible for : 1) Driving dispensing performance,   sector and regional   engagement, and co-pay program   utilization   at major retail chain accounts. 2) Owning corporate-level   relationships   and account strategy for smaller regional retail chains. 3) Building and managing account-level pull-through analytics to   identify   gaps and drive corrective action. 4) Serving as the enterprise retail channel interface with Brand, Payer Access, and   Ops   teams.

Specific responsibilities include:

Own pull-through execution at major national retail chains, developing account-specific plans targeting dispensing drivers including system edits, formulary access, pharmacist awareness, patient affordability barriers, and co-pay adjudication issues.

Lead regular business reviews with major chain pharmacy trade affairs and clinical pharmacy teams, presenting portfolio performance data and   aligning   joint pull-through initiatives.

Manage and resolve system-level dispensing barriers, co-pay card adjudication failures, pharmacy system formulary edits, PA support integration issues, and inventory availability gaps, escalating when resolution requires contract-level action.

Own corporate-level relationships and account strategy for regional retail chains, conducting enterprise-level joint business planning, closing access gaps, and building pharmacy staff engagement programs.

Build and   maintain   account-level performance dashboards, tracking dispensing trends, co-pay   utilization   rates, formulary access status, and pharmacist engagement metrics.

Conduct regular pull-through performance reviews, diagnosing root causes of performance gaps and deploying targeted interventions before gaps become material commercial liabilities.

Provide Brand teams with retail channel intelligence, competitive product placement, pharmacist sentiment, access barrier trends, and pull-through performance benchmarks.

Partner with Payer Access to align retail pull-through investment with formulary access outcomes.
