• Build strong working relationships with priority internal and external partners to ensure operational alignment and execution.

• Act as an integration point between key accounts, the field team, and internal stakeholders.

• Ensure commitments made to key accounts are clear, realistic, and operationally executable.

Performance & Execution Management:

• Establish clear field performance expectations, KPIs, and success measures tied to operational outcomes.

• Monitor execution quality and results, intervening where gaps in performance, consistency, or engagement exist.

• Use data, field insights, and franchisee feedback to continuously refine operating approaches.

• Maintain focus on activities that drive measurable impact at the pharmacy level.

Team Leadership & Development:

• Lead, coach, and develop the Field Operations team, building strong capability in execution, influence, and problemsolving.

• Set clear expectations for accountability, decisionmaking, and independence.

• Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

• Ensure consistent messaging, behaviours, and standards across the field organization.

Cross-Functional Alignment:

• Partner closely with internal teams (Operations, IT, Marketing, Finance, Business Development, Real Estate, etc.) to ensure initiatives are fieldready and executable.

• Provide practical field input into initiative planning, prioritization, and sequencing.

• Act as the voice of field operations in enterprise discussions - balancing strategy with execution reality.

Scope & Relationships:

• Direct leadership of the Field Operations team (e.g., Franchise Account Executives/Field Leaders).

• Senior operational contact for priority franchisees and key accounts.

• Highinteraction role with internal functional leaders and external partners.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Business or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

• 3+ years of proven experience leading geographically dispersed field teams.

• Strong operational acumen with the ability to simplify complexity and drive focus.

• Demonstrated success managing seniorlevel relationships and operationally complex accounts.
