About the role
Manager, GPO Delivery and Optimization
What you will be doing:
The Manager Delivery and Optimization owns GPO contract delivery for an assigned portfolio of member accounts — from activation through renewal. This is an execution role: build the plan, run it, and drive it to a result. The Manager Delivery and Optimization leverages data and Premier’s technology to tell a clear story about value, manages contract performance to ensure members actually realize it, and operates as a self-starter who figures out how to solve problems without being told how.
