What you will be doing

We're looking for an experienced (Senior) Operations Manager to lead our 24/7 dispensary fulfillment operation. This role owns the accurate, timely packing and fulfilment of medication prescriptions, along with inventory management, team leadership, and commercial pricing for a large team (minimally 10) working round-the-clock shifts. This is a senior operational role for someone with strong process discipline, ideally with experience in a regulated, accuracy-critical fulfillment environment.

On a day-to-day basis, this means you will:

Order Fulfillment & Accuracy

• Own end-to-end accuracy of medication fulfillment, ensuring every order is packed and fulfilled strictly according to the doctor's prescription, with zero unauthorized substitutions or deviations
• Design and enforce verification protocols (eg. independent double-checks) to catch picking, packing, or labelling errors before dispatch
• Establish clear escalation pathways so any ambiguous, incomplete, or unusual order is routed back to the prescribing doctor rather than resolved at the dispensary level
• Ensure fulfillment turnaround times meet service standards across all shifts, including overnight

Inventory & Stock Operations

• Own end-to-end operational management of medication stock across all shifts, ensuring optimal stock levels, proper storage conditions, and zero disruption to fulfillment at any hour
• Manage and reconcile all stock adjustments in the inventory system, maintaining accurate, audit-ready records across a 24/7 operation
• Raise and track routine purchase requisitions, balancing lead times, storage constraints, and cost efficiency
• Coordinate with the medical team on medication availability and supply planning, ensuring stock keeps pace with prescribing patterns and patient demand

Commercial & Pricing

• Propose and review medication pricing that is competitive in the market while protecting healthy gross margins
• Monitor pricing trends and cost movements, flagging risks or opportunities to the Singapore Country Manager

Dispensary Operations Management

• Accountable for overall dispensary operations, including maintenance of dispensary equipment and coordination with the delivery operations team on 3PL order-routing and parcel pickup workflows
• Lead a team (minimally 10) across a 24/7 shift roster, including shift scheduling, workload allocation, coaching, and performance management
• Build and develop shift leads/supervisors who can hold fulfillment accuracy and operational standards on shifts you're not personally present for
• Build a team culture of precision and accountability across all shifts, given the safety-critical nature of the work
• Identify training needs and upskill the team on SOPs, systems, and error-prevention practices

Compliance & Regulatory Support

• Maintain and enforce SOPs that keep the team's scope strictly within order fulfillment (no clinical decision-making), including clear boundaries on what triggers escalation to a doctor
• Maintain accurate, audit-ready dispensing and fulfillment records in line with HSA and Poisons Act requirements for doctor-dispensed medication
• Partner with the medical and compliance teams to stay current on regulatory requirements affecting fulfillment operations, and support the clinic through any regulatory inspections or audits
• Flag any order pattern, drug category, or operational gap that may fall outside the doctor's-own-patient exemption to compliance and legal for review

Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the go-to operational point of contact for doctors, partners, and patients on dispensary fulfillment matters
• Drive excellence in fulfillment accuracy and service standards around the clock, contributing to overall patient experience and operational reliability
• Attend Singapore team and management meetings, and represent the dispensary on Singapore or organisation-wide initiatives and projects as needed

What we are looking for

• Minimum 5 to 7 years of operations management experience in a high-accuracy, regulated, or safety-critical fulfillment, logistics, or healthcare-adjacent environment
• Demonstrated experience managing teams of 10 or more across shift-based or extended-hours rosters, with strong people leadership and conflict resolution skills
• Strong process discipline and comfort operating within strict SOPs and escalation protocols, particularly around error prevention in a healthcare context
• Comfortable working with inventory/ERP systems and translating data into stock and pricing decisions
• Commercially minded, able to balance operational efficiency with margin and budget considerations
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to work cross-functionally with doctors and central teams
• Experience in pharmacy fulfillment, medical logistics, or a similarly regulated operations environment is a strong plus

Our Benefits

• Make a Real Impact: Opportunity to contribute to a leading digital health company's rapid growth.
• Fast-paced Start-up Environment: Experience an environment where you get to own and make tangible impact without bureaucracy getting in the way of rapid decision-making.
• Great Team: Collaborate with intelligent, friendly, and supportive professionals from diverse backgrounds.
• Hands-on Learning & Growth: Gain hands-on experience in strategy, partnerships, operations, and product innovation within a growing industry.
