empowered to improve systems, support teams, and help patients access the right
therapies at the right time. You’ll love it here.

In this role, you

regulatory requirements. You will maintain and implement standard operating
procedures, ensure training and competency completion, and support readiness
for accreditation and audits. As a people leader, you will supervise, coach,
and develop pharmacy staff by supporting hiring, onboarding, scheduling,
performance evaluations, and corrective action when needed. You will promote
cross-training and continuity of care across workflows, ensuring your team
operates at a high level of performance, productivity, and service. You will also collaborate closely with clinic
partners and departmental leadership to expand and enhance pharmacy services,
support new initiatives, and improve patient access to therapies. This includes
participating in direct patient care activities and serving as a liaison
between pharmacy and clinical/non-clinical departments to strengthen
communication, service quality, and patient satisfaction.
