Staff Product Manager, Specialty Benefits Programs

Leap is one of the fastest-growing benefits solutions and a category-defining pioneer in employer specialty pharmacy. We are reshaping how life-changing therapies are delivered and financed, ensuring patients get the treatment they need while employers finally get a fair deal.

Specialty drugs and infusions represent nearly 10% of all healthcare spend and are the fastest-growing cost category for employers. Leap tackles this challenge with a novel approach: eliminating hidden markups, expanding access to high-quality infusion providers, and bringing clarity and fairness to how therapies are priced and paid for.

We’re proud to partner with numerous Fortune 500 companies and leading TPAs. Each patient we serve creates immediate ROI: lower costs, improved access, and better care. Join us as we redefine what’s possible in specialty care.

Leap is hiring a Staff Product Manager, Specialty Benefits Programs to design and operate programs that align benefit design, clinical requirements, and member engagement to make Leap a seamless, preferred pathway for lower-cost, high-quality specialty drug and infusion care.

This is a hands-on product ownership role. You'll define how each one works in practice, identify the capabilities Leap needs to run it, build or contract for those capabilities, establish the operating and performance model, and take it live. You'll do this in close partnership with Sales, Legal, Clinical Affairs, Operations, and Client Success.

You'll have the opportunity to build this capability at an early stage and shape how it scales. Success means turning complex benefit and operational requirements into models that can be implemented consistently across clients, deliver a strong member experience, and generate measurable savings.
