The Senior Manager, Segment Strategy - Generics is an analytical individual contributor role within the strategy team, supporting the development of frameworks, models, research and strategy recommendations that enable the evaluation and execution of key strategic initiatives for our Generics business within our North America Pharmaceutical Distribution (NAPD) segment. Reporting to the VP, Product Strategy & Strategic Initiatives, this position operates as a key strategic partner to our Generics organization.

Strategic Analysis & Insight Own end-to-end analytical workstreams within larger strategic initiatives — from problem structuring and hypothesis development through analysis and synthesis of findings — with guidance from initiative leads on framing and prioritization.

Communication & Stakeholder Support Prepare well-written, logical, concise documents and executive materials with minimal guidance; lead with key messages. Present analysis and recommendations with confidence to initiative teams and,
