VP, Clinical Content Management - PHT Medispan

About the Role

The Vice President, Clinical Content & Intelligence is the senior functional leader responsible for the strategy, governance, quality, operations, and continued evolution of Medi-Span's clinical content and machine-readable medication intelligence assets.

Reporting to the Vice President & General Manager, Pharmacy & Health Technology, this leader oversees an approximately 90-person global organization through multiple management layers, including several Director-level leaders. The role is accountable for the clinical content capabilities that support dozens of Medi-Span solutions across multiple healthcare markets in the United States and globally.

As a member of the PHT Leadership Team, the Vice President operates as a peer to the leaders of Product Management, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Strategy. The role influences segment strategy, product direction, investment prioritization, and growth initiatives while ensuring Medi-Span content remains clinically trusted, scalable, interoperable, increasingly machine-readable, and ready to support next-generation AI-enabled workflows and products.

This is a strategic transformation role, not simply an editorial or content operations leadership position. The successful candidate will maintain the reliability and quality of Medi-Span's current content portfolio while modernizing the organization, operating model, and technology capabilities required to support PHT's long-term growth strategy.
