ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Associate Director, Vendor and Service Management Pharmacist
Pharmacy Vendor and Service Management
LillyDirect Pharmacy Operations | Indianapolis, IN
About LillyDirect
U.S. consumers navigate considerable complexity in managing their healthcare, and their experience is often vastly different from the personalized, seamless engagements we have come to expect from the banking, retail, and travel industries. While the pandemic led to innovations in virtual care, alternate models for distribution, and integrated health and wellness solutions, these innovations focus on specific points in the patient journey rather than a holistic, end-to-end patient experience.
Launched in January 2024 for people in the U.S. living with obesity, migraine, and diabetes, LillyDirect is an industry-first digital healthcare experience designed to support and empower patients on their care journey. Through this new operating model, Lilly aims to improve patient access to care, help reduce healthcare costs, and enable better outcomes for people living with chronic disease. The rapid uptake of LillyDirect since its launch underscores the significant unmet need of people struggling to navigate the complex U.S. health care system. As such, we are seeking to expand our offerings and scale business operations to enable better outcomes for patients.
We are seeking an experienced Pharmacist to own the third-party vendor relationships and manage the service performance that LillyDirect Pharmacy depends on to operate. The ideal candidate brings strong professional judgment, a performance and analytics mindset, and a commitment to patient safety and compliance, ideally in an online or direct-to-patient environment.
This position defines and maintains the service level and key performance indicator framework for the pharmacy's third-party services, runs recurring service reviews, and drives remediation when performance falls short of agreed levels. The successful candidate partners with Procurement and Legal on contract governance and works across pharmacy operations, quality, and technology as LillyDirect scales its direct-to-patient operating model.
This is a pharmacist position because vendor and service failures reach the patient. The successful candidate evaluates service performance for its effect on prescription accuracy and patient safety, and retains licensed capacity to verify prescriptions when needed.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the third-party vendor and service provider relationships that LillyDirect Pharmacy depends on to operate.
- Define and maintain the service level and key performance indicator framework for third-party services, and measure performance against it.
- Lead recurring service reviews with vendor leadership, and drive remediation plans when performance falls short of agreed levels.
- Partner with Procurement and Legal on contract governance, including scope, service terms, renewals, and performance provisions.
- Provide input to vendor spend forecasting and contract budget planning for pharmacy leadership, drawing on contract terms, renewals, and service performance.
- Translate service performance data into reporting for pharmacy leadership, including trends, risks, and recommended corrective actions.
- Partner with Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, and Risk Management where service performance affects pharmacy records, deviation documentation, or inspection readiness.
- Verify accuracy of prescription orders and resolve issues with prescribers and patients as licensed capacity requires.
- Collaborate with internal teams (logistics, commercial operations, customer support, IT) to streamline processes and enhance patient satisfaction.
- Review and improve workflow processes to optimize efficiency and patient care.
- Contribute to the design and improvement of processes and systems that support pharmacy operations, including third-party service performance monitoring and reporting.
- Stay current on industry trends and technological advancements related to direct-to-patient pharmacy operations, and translate those into operational changes that drive state-of-the-art execution.
- Per the in-office schedule created by the pharmacy scheduler, this position will be expected to work scheduled shifts Monday through Friday, with a minimum of three days on site each week and up to two days worked remotely when appropriate. Remote work flexibility applies consistent with Lilly's remote work policy.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy or Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree.
- Active, unrestricted Indiana pharmacist license in good standing.
- Minimum of 3 years of experience in pharmacy practice or pharmacy operations.
ADDITIONAL PREFERENCES
- Experience in a high-volume, centralized, or direct-to-patient pharmacy environment.
- Experience owning vendor or third-party service relationships, including service level design, performance measurement, and remediation.
- Experience partnering with Procurement, Sourcing, or Legal on contract governance, renewals, and performance provisions.
- Experience building performance reporting and analytics that drive operational decisions.
- Experience with pharmacy management software and workflow automation, including performance monitoring and reporting tools.
- Willingness to obtain and maintain pharmacist licensure in additional states as the LillyDirect footprint expands.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to patient safety.
- Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills. Supervisory experience preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to influence and communicate across levels of technical experts and senior leadership.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Vendor Management Analyst
Document your analytical credentials before applying
TN visa approval for vendor management work hinges on proving specialty. Gather performance review records, procurement reports, and project deliverables that demonstrate systematic supplier analysis, not just general business administration tasks.
Target employers with active procurement functions
Large manufacturers, healthcare systems, and logistics companies maintain dedicated vendor management teams with recurring TN needs. Roles embedded in supply chain or sourcing departments are structurally easier to support under the Management Consultant TN category.
Confirm your offer letter frames the role correctly
Your offer letter must describe duties in terms of analysis, evaluation, and recommendations, not routine purchasing tasks. Ask your employer to specify that the role requires a bachelor's degree in business, supply chain, or a related field.
Search verified TN sponsors through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Vendor Management Analyst openings by employers with recent visa filings, so you focus only on companies already experienced with work visa sponsorship and professional visa requirements.
Prepare for port-of-entry if you hold Canadian citizenship
Canadian citizens can obtain TN status directly at a U.S. land border or airport preclearance with a complete CBP package. Bring the offer letter, degree credentials, and a brief description of vendor management duties to avoid delays at inspection.
Plan your Mexican consulate appointment around processing timelines
Mexican nationals must schedule a U.S. consulate interview for TN classification. Consulate wait times vary by location and season, so book your appointment as soon as you have a signed offer to avoid gaps before your start date.
Vendor Management Analyst TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Vendor Management Analyst role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, when the position centers on evaluating supplier performance, analyzing contracts, and recommending procurement strategies. CBP classifies these duties under the Management Consultant TN category, which requires a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as business, supply chain management, or finance. Roles that are primarily administrative or purchasing-focused without an analytical component are harder to support.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Vendor Management Analyst positions?
TN is generally faster and more predictable for this role. There is no annual lottery, no cap for Canadian citizens, and no lengthy USCIS petition process. H-1B visa requires winning a random selection each April and waiting until October to start work. TN status can be obtained at the border for Canadians or through a consulate appointment for Mexican nationals, often within weeks of receiving an offer.
What documents does the employer need to prepare for a TN filing?
The employer provides a signed offer letter on company letterhead that describes the Vendor Management Analyst duties, confirms the role requires a bachelor's degree, states the offered position is temporary, and specifies the expected duration. For Canadians, no petition is filed with USCIS. For Mexican nationals, the employer's letter accompanies the DS-160 application submitted to the U.S. consulate.
Where can I find Vendor Management Analyst jobs with TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you filter Vendor Management Analyst openings specifically by employers with TN or H-1B sponsorship history, so you are not guessing which companies understand USMCA work authorization. This narrows your search to employers who have already navigated the process and are structurally set up to support your TN status from day one.
Can a Vendor Management Analyst on TN status change employers?
Yes, but you need a new TN authorization for each employer. Canadian citizens can go directly to a U.S. port of entry with the new employer's offer letter. Mexican nationals must schedule a new consulate appointment. You can work for the new employer once CBP or the consulate approves the new TN, so timing your transition carefully helps avoid gaps in work authorization.
