Remote Scada Ems Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

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.
Location: Remote (U.S.) - Candidates must be able to travel to our Alachua, FL facility as needed. Preference will be given to those located in Florida or within a short flight.
Position Type: Full-TimeSchedule: Monday - Friday (day shift)
Compensation Range: $110,000 - $120,000
Position Overview:
The GMP Systems Administrator is the primary technical owner for all GMP-regulated computerized systems at Strive Pharmacy's 503B outsourcing facility. This role sits at the intersection of IT, OT and pharmaceutical manufacturing compliance, ensuring that every regulated system (including the EMS, BMS, CMMS/CCMS, LIMS and QMS) remains validated, audit-ready and in a continuous state of compliance.
This is not a traditional systems administration role. Success requires a working understanding of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records requirements, GAMP 5 CSV principles and the data integrity standards that govern a regulated pharmaceutical environment. The administrator partners directly with Quality, Engineering, Validation and Operations leadership to keep the site's regulated technology stack compliant and inspection-ready.
We are open to candidates who bring strong Part 11 system administration experience and are still building formal validation depth; Strive will invest in GAMP 5 and CSV training for the right person.
Key Responsibilities:
GMP Computerized Systems Administration

• Serve as the site's primary technical owner and system administrator for all GMP-regulated computerized systems, including the EMS, BMS, CMMS/CCMS, LIMS, QMS and any EBR or MES platforms.
• Ensure all regulated systems maintain a Validated State in accordance with GAMP 5 guidelines; coordinate with Validation on system categorization and risk-based validation approaches.
• Maintain and manage audit trails, electronic signature configurations and user access controls on all 21 CFR Part 11-regulated systems, ensuring records meet ALCOA+ standards.
• Support the CSV lifecycle: author or review URS, FDS and Configuration Specifications and execute IQ/OQ protocols for new systems, upgrades and patches.
• Manage the periodic review program for all validated computerized systems, ensuring scheduled reviews are completed on time and documented in accordance with SOPs.
• Participate in Change Control for all IT changes affecting GMP-regulated systems; complete IT impact assessments and ensure no unauthorized changes are made to validated systems.

GMP Cybersecurity & Data Integrity

• Implement and maintain cybersecurity controls aligned with FDA cybersecurity guidance for pharmaceutical manufacturing environments; ensure patch management programs do not inadvertently invalidate GMP systems.
• Support OT/IT network segmentation that isolates process control systems (BMS, EMS, SCADA, PLC networks) from corporate IT infrastructure, reducing cybersecurity risk to regulated manufacturing systems.
• Enforce identity and access management for all regulated systems using RBAC and least-privilege principles.
• Maintain secure, GMP-compliant backup, disaster recovery and business continuity procedures for all regulated systems; document and periodically test recovery procedures.
• Ensure all electronic records stored in GMP systems are protected against unauthorized modification, deletion or access, in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11 and internal data integrity SOPs.

Vendor & SaaS Compliance

• Evaluate SaaS and enterprise vendors for 21 CFR Part 11 readiness prior to procurement; assess and document vendor controls as part of the supplier qualification process.
• Partner with Quality and Procurement to maintain compliant configurations across regulatory submission and track-and-trace tools specific to the 503B environment.

Team & Support Model
This is the dedicated owner for the site's regulated computerized systems, but it is not a solo assignment. The role is backed by Strive's broader IT organization, which provides:

• Remote support and escalation from centralized infrastructure, security and service desk teams.
• Team members who can travel to the site as needed to provide extra hands for larger efforts such as system implementations, upgrade and validation pushes, audit and inspection readiness, equipment installs or coverage during planned and unplanned absences.
• Access to platform owners and subject matter experts for systems that are administered centrally rather than at the site level.
• A dedicated on-site Site Systems Administrator who owns the general IT infrastructure and end-user support for the facility, so this role can stay focused on the regulated environment.

The expectation is that the GMP Systems Administrator sets direction for the site's regulated systems and pulls in remote or traveling support deliberately, rather than absorbing every task alone.
Required Qualifications:

• 4-6 years of progressive IT systems administration experience.
• Minimum 2 years of experience working in a GMP-regulated environment (pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device or 503B outsourcing facility).
• Hands-on experience administering computerized systems subject to 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records and electronic signatures requirements, including user access controls and audit trail configuration.
• Working knowledge of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and its practical application to system configuration, audit trails and access controls.
• Understanding of data integrity principles as applied to electronic records in a pharmaceutical environment.
• Proficiency administering Windows Server and Windows 10/11; comfort supporting vendor-managed appliances and instrument-attached workstations.
• Working knowledge of identity and access management tools (Active Directory, Okta or Entra ID) and RBAC concepts.
• Clear, disciplined technical writing; this role produces documentation that regulators read.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting or executing Computer System Validation (CSV) activities in a regulated pharmaceutical or life sciences environment.
• Familiarity with the GAMP 5 V-Model and computerized system risk categories.
• Understanding of Change Control processes in a GMP environment; specifically how to assess and document IT changes that may impact validated system states.
• Awareness of FDA guidance on cybersecurity for pharmaceutical manufacturing and the ability to apply relevant principles to a 503B site.
• Exposure to OT/IT network segmentation in a manufacturing setting.
• Scripting or automation skills in PowerShell, Python or Bash.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, Engineering or a closely related field; equivalent hands-on experience will be considered in place of a degree.
• ISPE GAMP 5 training or equivalent computer system validation coursework.
• CompTIA Security+ or CySA+.

Work Environment:
This position is primarily based in a hybrid work environment. The role requires regular periods of sitting, standing, and computer use, with occasional lifting as needed. Reasonable accommodations may be made for individuals with disabilities.
Annual Salary
$110,000-$120,000 USD
