00068948241

Role Summary

The Model N Flex Lead is accountable for steady-state operational and technical support delivery for Model N Powered by Flex in an Application Managed Services (AMS) model. The role serves as the primary onsite contact for business and IT stakeholders, drives ITIL-aligned service management (incident, service request, problem, change, and release), and coordinates with offshore L2/L3 teams, Model N product support, and upstream/downstream teams to meet SLAs, stabilize operations, and continuously improve run effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities (AMS – Operational & Technical Support)

  • Service management & governance: Own onsite AMS governance (daily ops connect, weekly ticket review, monthly service review); maintain service dashboards for SLA/KPI, backlog, aging, and trends; ensure accurate status reporting and stakeholder communication.
  • Incident & service request management: Ensure timely triage, prioritization, and resolution of incidents and SRs within agreed SLAs; lead major incident bridges as needed; drive communication, stakeholder updates, and restoration validation.
  • Problem management & RCA: Drive root-cause analysis for Sev1/Sev2 and recurring issues; maintain Known Error Database/knowledge articles; implement preventive fixes or workarounds; reduce repeat incidents through trend analysis and permanent remediation plans.
  • Technical triage & ecosystem coordination: Coordinate with upstream/downstream systems (ERP, GTN, EDI, middleware), data/ETL teams, and infrastructure/security teams to diagnose and resolve interface, batch, access, and environment issues; manage dependencies and handoffs.
  • Monitoring & daily operations: Oversee daily health checks, batch/job monitoring, and interface queue monitoring; ensure timely reruns/repairs, reconciliations, and business notifications for exceptions impacting chargebacks, rebates, GP/Medicaid processing, and payments.
  • Change & release management: Plan and coordinate break/fix deployments, minor enhancements, and vendor hotfixes/seasonal releases; manage change records, CAB inputs, cutover/runbooks, smoke testing, and post-deployment validation in line with client change procedures.
  • SLA/KPI management & continuous improvement: Track SLA compliance (response/resolution), MTTR/MTTD, backlog aging, reopen rate, and interface processing success; run ticket trend and debt analysis; drive automation and process improvements to reduce toil and recurring operational failures.
  • Team leadership & shift handover: Lead onsite/offshore execution, set priorities, and remove blockers; ensure clean shift handovers, runbook adherence, and knowledge continuity; mentor team members and ensure appropriate coverage including on-call support (as applicable).
  • Compliance, audit & documentation: Maintain audit-ready evidence for data fixes, access changes, and releases; support SOX/ITGC and periodic access reviews; ensure SOPs/runbooks, knowledge articles, and operational checklists are current and followed.

Required Qualifications (AMS)

  • Experience: Typically 10–15+ years overall with 5+ years in Application Support/AMS delivery (L2/L3) and strong exposure to Model N Powered by Flex in a production support context.
  • Model N functional knowledge: Working knowledge of key modules and operational flows (as applicable): chargebacks, rebates/fees, managed care, government pricing/Medicaid, master data, Validata/data management, and reporting—focused on production issue diagnosis and business impact.
  • Service delivery leadership: Proven ability to run ITIL-based processes (incident, problem, change, release), lead major incidents, manage escalations, and drive SLA/KPI governance with onsite/offshore teams.
  • Technical & integration understanding: Hands-on understanding of production support triage for integrations and batch processing (e.g., EDI flows, middleware, ETL/jobs), data reconciliation concepts, and environment/access dependencies across client ecosystems.
  • ITSM & operational tooling: Proficiency with ticketing/workflow tools (e.g., ServiceNow/Jira), knowledge management practices (KEDB/KBAs), and reporting dashboards; ITIL Foundation (preferred).
  • Client-facing communication: Strong stakeholder management, crisp incident communications, and ability to present operational metrics, risks, and improvement plans to leadership; comfortable working with overlap hours and on-call expectations as required.

Success Measures

  • SLA compliance achieved for response and resolution across incident and service request queues; minimal SLA breaches with clear corrective actions.
  • Improved operational stability: reduced MTTR/MTTD and lower reopen/recurrence rate through effective problem management and RCA.
  • Healthy ticket hygiene: controlled backlog, reduced aging, accurate prioritization, and transparent weekly/monthly reporting.
  • Audit readiness maintained: evidence for changes/data fixes, access reviews, and SOP adherence; successful support of SOX/ITGC and client compliance needs.
  • Measurable continuous improvement: automation/standardization initiatives delivered that reduce manual effort (toil), recurring incidents, and operational risk.
