Company Overview

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.

• Provide overflow project and program management support to the PMO during periods of peak demand or capacity constraints.
• Work closely and collaboratively with the PMO team to maintain consistent methodology, tools, and reporting standards across the broader PMO organization.
• Facilitate governance activities, including steering committee updates, stage-gate reviews, and program status meetings with executive audiences.
• Drive accountability across cross-functional project teams, ensuring roles, responsibilities, and deliverables are clearly defined and tracked.
• Identify opportunities for process improvement within program delivery and contribute to the maturity of the Enterprise PMO’s practices and standards.
• Manage change, scope, risk assessments, and communications across programs to keep stakeholders aligned as priorities and requirements evolve.

• Strong track record of delivering programs on time, on budget, and to expected scope and quality.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority.
