• Report adverse drug events and medication errors through established pharmacovigilance channels, when applicable
• Maintain fulfillment area compliance standards, including proper storage of temperature-sensitive medications

• Coordinate with the shipping and fulfillment team to resolve packaging errors, return-to-sender issues, and delivery failures affecting patient medication access
• Provide clinical input on technology enhancements, workflow tools, and software configurations that affect the pharmacist verification or patient counseling experience
• Participate in team huddles, quality reviews, and department meetings to support continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications:
