• Track and report on revenue across internal scorecards and business reviews
• Plan and lead quarterly business reviews with partners, including usage analytics, product updates, and forward-looking roadmaps
Strategic Data Sourcing & Product Enablement (~40%)
A&BC maintains strategic data partnerships with a leading healthcare analytics provider, whose data powers solutions across CVS Health. You will serve as the internal owner and subject matter expert for these data products: driving adoption, enabling new use cases, and ensuring the data delivers maximum value across the enterprise.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal analytics and product teams seeking to leverage external data assets, advising on applicability, limitations, and best use cases
• Maintain accessible documentation, FAQs, and guidelines to enable self-service adoption across teams
• Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to support onboarding, integration, and ongoing use of external data assets
• Monitor data quality, coverage, and performance, proactively identifying and resolving issues in partnership with internal and external stakeholders
Expanded Impact
• Identify and evaluate new external data sources and strategic partners to enhance internal analytics and product capabilities
• Align external data assets to high-priority business use cases, helping translate data capabilities into actionable insights and product features

• Ability to independently run basic statistical analyses or data quality checks (Python, R, or SQL)
• Exposure to Agile methodologies and tools (Jira, Confluence, or similar)
