Job description

Company Overview:

Strive Pharmacy is a personalized compounding pharmacy built on a simple conviction: medicine should fit the patient, not the other way around. We started Strive because we believed the pharmaceutical industry was overdue for a more human approach—one that prioritizes individualized care, clinical nuance, and genuine partnership with patients and providers.

Compounding gives us the tools to do that. Every formulation we prepare is built to the specific needs of a specific person, and every interaction we have is guided by that same commitment to personalized care.

We're growing, and we're looking for people who share that conviction. If you're ready to be part of a pharmacy that takes the work seriously and the people even more seriously, we'd like to meet you.

Mission:

Strive exists to disrupt an industry long overdue for a more personal approach to care. We put the human element at the center of everything: every formulation, every patient interaction, every provider partnership. We're not just a compounding pharmacy. We're a team on a mission to change what personalized healthcare looks and feels like.

  • Lead the technical investigation for "Environmental Excursions" (e.g., when a cleanroom goes out of pressure spec), identifying the root cause in the control logic or hardware.
3. Validation & Lifecycle Management
  • Author and execute Functional Design Specifications (FDS) and Software Design Specifications (SDS).
  • Partner with the Validation department to draft and execute IQ/OQ protocols for software upgrades and new hardware installations.
  • Manage the Backup and Disaster Recovery plan for all automation databases.

  • Provide Tier 2/3 technical support for complex system failures that the maintenance team cannot resolve.
  • Manage automation vendors (e.g., Siemens, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, or Schneider Electric) during service visits and system upgrades.
