Job description

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.

Position Overview

The HR Partner is the go-to HR resource for the business teams they support. More than a policy enforcer, this role is a trusted advisor, someone managers and employees engage with. From navigating employee relations matters to coaching managers through tough conversations to partnering on full-cycle recruiting for their client group, the HR Partner keeps their business units staffed, grounded, supported, and performing.

• Position Type: Full-Time
• Schedule: Monday - Friday
• Compensation Range: $110,000 - $125,000

• Partner on full-cycle recruiting, including intake with hiring managers, sourcing, screening, interview coordination, and offer management
• Ensure a strong, consistent candidate experience from first outreach through onboarding
• Collaborate with COE teams (Talent Acquisition & HR Operations) to deliver integrated people programs, escalating specialized sourcing or high-volume hiring needs as appropriate
• Coach managers on performance management, team dynamics, hiring decisions, and policy application
• Guide employees through HR processes, leave programs, accommodations, and workplace concerns
• Partner with leaders to identify people trends, including hiring, turnover, and retention patterns, and proactively address issues before they escape
• Apply HR policies and employment law with good judgment across a variety of situations
• Contribute to department-wide HR initiatives as assigned

What You Bring

• 4–6 years of HR experience with a focus on employee relations and business partnership
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex ER situations with fairness and documentation rigor
• Experience managing a full recruiting cycle, from requisition to offer, in a fast-paced environment
• Strong coaching instincts and the ability to build trust with managers at all levels
• Sound working knowledge of employment law across multiple states
• Professional and calm under pressure, especially in difficult conversations
• Bachelor's degree required; PHR or SHRM-CP preferred

This position is primarily based in an onsite 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.

$110,000 - $125,000 USD
