Job Description

About AssistRx

AssistRx is a market-leading healthcare technology company focused on accelerating patient access to life-changing therapies. Through our advanced platform and patient support ecosystem, we partner with pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty pharmacies, and providers to remove barriers to therapy initiation and adherence.

Our solutions—including iAssist®, Hub Lite™, Prior Authorization, Benefits Verification, Copay, and Patient Assistance Programs (PAP)—power the end-to-end patient journey from prescription to therapy fulfillment.

At AssistRx, we combine technology, domain expertise, and patient-centric design to deliver measurable outcomes for both patients and life sciences partners.

About The Role

We are seeking a Product Manager with deep life sciences and patient access expertise to lead the strategy and evolution of our Patient Assistance Program (PAP) and Free Goods dispensing capabilities.

This is a high-impact, domain-driven role requiring strong experience in pharma hub services, PAP program design, and free drug fulfillment workflows. You will play a critical role in shaping how patients access therapies when affordability is a barrier—working closely with manufacturers, specialty pharmacies, and internal operations teams.

You will own the end-to-end product strategy and execution for PAP and related patient support offerings—balancing compliance, operational complexity, and patient experience while delivering scalable, tech-enabled solutions.

What You'll Own

Product Strategy & Domain Leadership

Define and execute the product vision and roadmap for PAP and Free Goods dispensing solutions
Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) in patient access, with a focus on eligibility, enrollment, and fulfillment workflows
Align product strategy with manufacturer brand goals, regulatory requirements, and patient affordability challenges

PAP / Free Goods Program Innovation

Design and optimize workflows for:
Patient eligibility & enrollment

Cross-Functional Execution

Partner with Engineering, UX, Data, Clinical, Compliance, and Operations to deliver high-impact solutions
Ensure adherence to HIPAA, regulatory standards, and manufacturer-specific program requirements
Drive alignment across stakeholders in a highly matrixed environment

Product Lifecycle Ownership

Own full lifecycle: discovery → requirements → build → launch → optimization
Define KPIs such as: Time to therapy, PAP approval rates, Patient adherence, and Program utilization
Use data to continuously improve product performance and patient outcomes

Client Engagement & Thought Leadership

Act as a trusted advisor to pharmaceutical clients
Support implementations, workshops, and QBRs
Translate product capabilities into clear business value and outcomes

Execution Excellence

Lead Agile delivery: backlog prioritization, sprint planning, roadmap execution
Write high-quality user stories, acceptance criteria, and business requirements
Leverage tools such as Jira, Confluence, Aha!, Productboard
