Pharmacist-in-Charge / Pharmacy Manager ( Sterile Compounding Mandatory)

Our client is seeking an experienced, leadership-driven Pharmacist to serve as the Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC) and operational owner of the facility. This is an impactful role designed for a professional who can strictly uphold prescription-by-prescription quality standards while simultaneously scaling operations alongside executive leadership.

Rather than a traditional "back-of-the-counter" role, the PIC will oversee the daily rhythm of the pharmacy-including verification, workflow design, staffing, training, and strict compliance. The ideal candidate possesses the ability to seamlessly transition between high-level strategic planning and hands-on clinical bench work when required. Reporting directly to senior leadership, this individual will have a true seat at the table in shaping the growth and operational reality of the business.

Maintain rigorous compliance with USP , , and standards, applicable state/federal laws, and internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Own the master formula and batch documentation system, regularly reviewing and approving formulas, lot tracking, and quality control records.

• Translate high-level executive vision into actionable, daily operating plans for the pharmacy floor, while synthesizing operational realities into clear feedback for leadership.
• Proactively identify bottlenecks and present data-driven solutions and operational proposals.
• Represent the pharmacy in cross-functional collaborations with patient services, sales, finance, and external prescribers.
