Jobbeschreibung

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.

• Quality Control & SOP Development: Assist in developing, evaluating, and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the compounding lab and formulation design. Participate in regular quality audits and regulatory inspections.
• Lab & Equipment Maintenance: Ensure the compounding lab is cleaned and maintained according to procedure. Oversee regular maintenance, calibration, and documentation of scales, electronic meters, and lab instrumentation. Routinely inspect for outdated or expiring chemicals.
• Regulatory & Managerial Coordination: Coordinate with the Sterile Manager on personnel, compliance, and regulatory matters. Maintain a deep working knowledge of USP <795>, USP <797>, USP <800>, 503B cGMP guidance (21 CFR 211), and applicable FDA regulations.
• Staff Training & CE: Train, assess, and mentor pharmacy personnel. Complete all required continuing education responsibilities to maintain compounding expertise.

• Standards for accuracy, potency, and sterile quality control must be consistently met.
