As a strategy-minded member of the Growth team, you enjoy cross-disciplinary problem solving. You are motivated by multifaceted challenges that require you to quickly identify the data points that matter and generate a hypothesis. You are relentless in your pursuit of continuous improvement with the chops to dive into analytics, then step back to see the forest for the trees. You prefer a good narrative over a fancy PowerPoint slide. You provide market-focused expertise and industry understanding that builds trust and influences customer behavior.
 

Surescripts Growth is a team of both thinkers and doers. We pressure test our ideas and then move past thinking to put our plans into action. We’re ambitious, yet realistic, with our goal in mind: to increase the value of the Surescripts Network Alliance.
 

We love a good framework, of course. But we also work to understand our ever-evolving role as a network business and how our solutions impact our customers and the patients and providers they serve.
