PBM STRATEGY MANAGER (12-MONTH CONTRACT)

WHO WE ARE.

When it comes to health, we’re always looking for ways to push for better. It’s why we were founded in the first place. In 1957, our founder, pharmacist William Wilkinson, witnessed a mother sacrifice her health by forgoing her own medicine to pay for her sick daughter’s prescription. He knew there had to be a better way. So, he introduced North America’s first prepaid drug plan, and GreenShield was born as a not-for-profit with a mission to support better health for all Canadians.

We aren’t just a health and benefits company. We’re the only not-for-profit social enterprise that brings worlds of coverage and care together, all in one place.
We’re noble challengers, purposefully building a better way and we need the best people to help us create a more holistic approach that takes care of the mind and body.

Our mission is to create better health for all Canadians, and we know that starts with our employees.

GSC is one of Canada’s largest health benefits carriers and is uniquely structured as a not-for-profit social enterprise focused on improving the health and well-being of Canadians. GSC has always provided our clients with an unmatched healthcare experience and now, we’re working to better serve our customers and communities by evolving from a health and dental benefits carrier to an integrated health services organization and Canada’s only payer-provider.

With our innovative approaches, we address the emerging health needs of our clients while supporting their employees. From our focus on digital mental health therapies (such as Inkblot) to our suite of technology solutions to our social impact initiatives, we love to get creative.

We invest in our employees.
