QA & Operations Pharmacy Technician

POSITION SUMMARY

The Quality Assurance & Operations Pharmacy Technician is a senior, specialist-level role that bridges regulatory compliance and daily pharmacy operations within a 503A compounding pharmacy. The position divides its time between building and maintaining the pharmacy’s quality management system — SOP and work-instruction authoring, Simplifi797 administration, and audit readiness — and performing hands-on technician duties including sterile and non-sterile compounding, filling, and shipping. It suits an experienced, licensed technician who can work independently in a fast-paced, growth-stage environment and move fluidly between quality-systems work and the compounding floor.
