• Prepare, label, and dispense IP for dosing in strict compliance with protocols, randomization schedules, EPCU SOPs, and regulatory requirements.

• Maintain accurate and complete documentation of IP receipt, preparation, dispensing, returns, and destruction or return to the Sponsor.
• Oversee proper storage, archiving, and maintenance of IP study documentation.
• Ensure that IP is securely stored in designated locked areas within the EPCU.
• Comply with EPCU SOPs, Good Clinical Practices (GCP), and Good Pharmacy Practices.
• Participate in project or client meetings to represent EPCU Pharmacy services, as applicable.
• Support sponsor monitoring visits related to IP accountability and documentation.
• Assist in maintaining and improving pharmacy workflows and operational processes.
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives within the EPCU.
• Perform other pharmacy‑related duties as assigned.

• Minimum 1 year of experience as a pharmacy technician (research, hospital, or retail experience accepted).
• Highly preferred: Knowledge of sterile compounding practices.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in documentation.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment.

Compensation

Base Pay Range: $24.00 - $29.00 per hour. Actual salaries may vary within the range based on several factors including, but not limited to education, training, experience, professional achievement, and location.
