Federal Pricing Manager

Who We Are (Government Programs):

With Government entities being Genentech’s largest customer, the Government Programs (GP) team within Channel and Contract Management (CCM) is responsible for managing the complexities of government pricing to enable patient access through the federal drug programs (Medicare, Medicaid, 340B, Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)& TRICARE).  GP does this by reporting accurate pricing calculations that set the acquisition cost or reimbursement rate for drugs under these federal programs, paying

government rebates and providing strategic value to its managed care partners.  Collectively, these efforts help Genentech meet evolving business needs and foster a culture of compliance around government programs.

The Opportunity:
