In addition to upskilling and retaining current GMAP talent, you will support the leadership team in facilitating initiatives to attract and develop new talent into the GMAP organisation.

A key part of your role will also be to support the implementation of communication mechanisms to upskill the wider organization on payer environments and requirements and enable the upskilling of enterprise-wide negotiations capabilities and tools.
