Director Hub Services

Summary of Position

The Director Hub Services is a senior individual contributor and operational leader responsible for overseeing the company's fully operational patient and provider services hub within the Medicare Part B radiopharmaceutical therapy (RLT) space. This role owns hub vendor governance, performance management, patient financial assistance programs, reimbursement case management infrastructure, and the operational systems that support provider and patient access — while the clinical and site-level benefits investigation and prior authorization work is owned and executed by the Field Reimbursement Manager (FRM) team.

This position is designed to evolve. As the Market Access function grows in scope and complexity, the Director, Hub Services will take on additional responsibilities in support of the broader market access strategy including reimbursement policy monitoring, payer coverage intelligence, field team enablement, and account-level access resolution. The role reports to the Senior Director, Market Access and operates with a high degree of autonomy and cross-functional accountability.
