·       Review and communicate price changes that impact compounding, purchasing, or billing workflows.

·       Separate invoice costs (chemicals, supplies, equipment, etc.) to support accurate accounting reconciliation.

·       Manage inventory levels for high‐use items, completing weekly reviews to ensure supply availability.

·       Process returns of unused or expired drugs monthly and maintain compliance with proper disposal procedures.

·       Run, save, and organize monthly inventory reports for leadership and finance needs.

·       Partner with the Pharmacist‐in‐Charge on cost‐of‐goods considerations, including establishing cash prices for new formulas.

·       Support reimbursement dispute resolution through accurate documentation and timely follow‐up.

·       Coordinate product recalls, ensuring proper communication and documentation.

·       Assist with internal and external audits by maintaining complete and accurate purchasing and inventory records.

·       Lead the annual medication inventory process and participate in periodic cycle counts.

What We’re Looking For

·       Experienced Pharmacy Technician (CPhT preferred) with a strong understanding of pharmacy operations and a desire to expand into purchasing and inventory leadership.

·       Exceptionally organized, detail‐driven, and consistent; someone who understands that every detail matters in a compounding environment.

·       Financially savvy, with proven experience working within a budget and making fiscally responsible decisions; able to build trust quickly through sound judgment and early wins.

·       Clear, confident communicator who is comfortable collaborating across departments via email, instant messaging, phone, and occasional speaking in team meetings.

·       Analytical and proactive, able to interpret data, anticipate inventory needs, and always be “the person on top of it” before issues arise.

·       Adaptable and steady under pressure, thriving in fast‐moving environments and navigating change with professionalism and ease.

·       Tech‐forward and efficient, with advanced PC skills including strong Excel proficiency (Excel training preferred).

·       A natural problem‐solver with strong prioritization and accountability skills; internally motivated to deliver excellent results without needing constant oversight.

·       High School Diploma or GED required.
