  • Stable & Rewarding Environment: Enjoy a consistent schedule in a professional setting with no travel required.

What We’re Looking For

  • Education/Certification: Completion of a Pharmacy Technician Program with Board Certification.

  • Experience: 1–3 years of experience as a Pharmacy Technician (specialty or retail pharmacy preferred).

  • Knowledge: Familiarity with NDC codes, insurance formularies, and pharmacy laws/regulations.

  • Skills: Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, expert customer service and phone skills, and ability to thrive in a deadline-driven environment.

Physical & Other Requirements

  • Ability to sit, stand, walk, and operate computer systems for extended periods.

  • Occasionally lift up to 30 lbs.

  • Must pass federal background check, child abuse clearance, and drug screen.
