Manager, Implementation

The Manager of Implementation at CoverMyMeds is responsible for the Implementation Management team and program execution for client implementation activities in the Specialty business unit. This includes configuration, documentation, and implementation services for new brands through the launch and hypercare period of AMP installations.
