A specialized pharmacy focused on customized, patient-specific medications that aren’t commercially available is looking for a Pharmacy Manager to join their team.

The organization works closely with physicians and healthcare providers to develop formulations for specialty medications. With over 200 employees, this national organization continues to grow and provide a variety of service and product offerings, and its presence in Edmonton is growing with a new state-of-the-art compounding facility.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Pharmacy Manager to oversee operations within a highly specialized facility featuring a state-of-the-art compounding laboratory dedicated to the preparation of high-cost medications and specialty pharmaceuticals.
