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.
