• Build the go-to-market approach: Partner with Marketing and Business Development to define target customers, sharpen the Helix value proposition, and develop pricing, packaging, and commercial strategies that turn interest into adoption
• Turn program results into growth: Work closely with Delivery to address performance gaps, demonstrate customer value, and use program insights to inform commercial improvements, renewals, and expansion
• Inform strategy through market insight: Track health plan priorities, competitive offerings, and reimbursement and value-based care trends to identify new product and commercial opportunities
