An opportunity to join an established Dubai pharmacy, based in Al Barsha, now under new ownership and management and relaunching as a modern, tech-enabled, health and longevity focused pharmacy. This is a forward-looking, service-led pharmacy with real ambition - building in-store, online and clinical services under one roof, with the backing to grow fast. Everything we do is built around the patient: ease of access, fair and sensible pricing, easy and reliable delivery, and service that makes people want to come back. If you are the kind of pharmacist who builds real relationships with your patients, and you have patients who want to stay with you, this is the role for you.

We are hiring our Lead Pharmacist to run the pharmacy day to day as our primary pharmacist. You will have the full backing and support of management to optimise the pharmacy, the product range and the patient offering. We will invest in you and in the business - in return, you bring the knowledge, the clinical judgement and the drive to make the most of it.

Why this role is worth taking

• Full management support and investment to modernise the pharmacy and grow the offering.
• A high-growth, tech-focused, longevity-focused pharmacy that is actively expanding.
• Clear career progression, including building and leading your own team.
• Full visa sponsorship and transfer handled by us.

Salary: AED 5,500 to 10,000 per month, based on experience and fit.

Working hours

This is a full-time, on-site role in a busy, growing pharmacy. Pharmacists here work long hours, six days a week, on a shift pattern shared with our secondary pharmacist, which can include late-night and weekend shifts. Typical shifts run around 10 to 12 hours. It is demanding and hands-on, and it is exactly that pace and patient volume that makes it a great place to grow fast, build a real patient following and progress your career.

Minimum requirements — you must meet all of the following. Each is verified at screening.

• Currently living in Dubai. This is not a relocation role.
• Currently hold a valid Emirates ID and UAE residency.
• DHA-registered and licensed to practise in Dubai.
• 3 to 5 years hands-on experience in Dubai-based pharmacies (minimum 3 years).
• Direct Dubai pharmacy experience with verifiable, checkable references from your employers.
• A genuinely service-focused approach, with a track record of looking after patients well and building loyalty.
• Strong, current product knowledge across OTC, supplements and wellness, and the confidence to recommend and guide, not simply dispense.
• A strong commercial and clinical sense, grounded in what patients need and want:
• Demand - you read patient demand and know which products matter to the people who walk in.
• Advice and sales - you turn good clinical advice into the right product in the patient’s hand, so they leave looked after and come back.
• Range and pricing - you understand what patients expect to pay and what represents real value, and help shape the range accordingly.
• Procurement - you understand how sourcing the right products, reliably, keeps patients supplied with what they trust.
• Relationships - established working relationships with other pharmacists and suppliers you can draw on.
• Experience leading and developing pharmacy technicians, including supporting the hiring of pharmacists and technicians.
• Confident with pharmacy software, POS and dispensing systems.
• Solid grounding in dispensing, DHA compliance and SOPs.
• Strong, patient-facing communication with excellent spoken English.
• Experience managing a pharmacy floor and the people on it.

Desirable — not essential, but the closer your match, the stronger your application and the stronger the offer.

• Familiarity with online and e-pharmacy models.
• Experience with supplements, wellness and longevity.
• Experience with GLP-1 and weight-loss programmes and clinic partnerships.
• Existing supplier and insurance relationships you can bring with you.
• A network to help us hire strong pharmacists and technicians.
• Experience in a growing or multi-channel pharmacy rather than traditional retail only.
• Arabic a strong advantage given our patient base; Urdu and Hindi speakers also welcomed.

The person we are after: energetic, professional, savvy and genuinely patient-focused - someone who understands the needs of the business, wants progression in a high-growth environment, and wants to help build something rather than simply maintain it.
