Sr. Pharmacy Operations Manager

Remote

Found is transforming personalized weight care with an evidence-based platform that combines modern medicine, behavior change support, personalized coaching, and a supportive community.

Key Responsibilities

1. Vendor Strategy & Relationship Management

  • Own the pharmacy vendor portfolio: primary, backup, regional, and specialty partners across both compounded and branded tiers
  • Design and maintain vendor scorecards; lead business reviews (QBRs) against SLAs for speed, accuracy, fill rate, and cost
  • Serve as the lead operator on pharmacy RFPs, contract renewals, and onboarding of new partners
  • Maintain contractual SLA documentation; flag compliance gaps and drive remediation with vendors
  • Build and own the vendor escalation playbook for supply disruptions, quality events, and service failures

2. Pharmacy Cost & Margin

  • Build and maintain a pharmacy cost model: acquisition cost by drug, formulation, strength, and vendor; track actuals vs. budget monthly
  • Lead pricing benchmarking across compounded and branded partners; surface optimization opportunities to leadership
  • Identify and model COGS levers: vendor-mix shifts, volume-tiered pricing, formulation substitutions, and compounding cost inputs
  • Partner with growth/finance on the pharmacy P&L; be the ops counterpart in monthly close reviews

3. Clinical & Product Partnership

  • Collaborate with clinical ops on formulary updates, titration protocol changes, and how they ripple into pharmacy workflows
  • Own the operational side of the order-to-ship pipeline; partner with product and engineering on pharmacy integration health
  • Bring the vendor and ops perspective into the pharmacy roadmap; flag where tech gaps create manual work or member risk

 

4. Member Shipment Experience

  • Own the end-to-end member experience for medication/prescription shipment SLA: define what we promise, measure adherence, and lead improvement initiatives
  • Partner with MX to build proactive shipment communication triggers (delay alerts, exception workflows) that reduce inbound contacts
  • Design and maintain the lost/delayed shipment playbook; own resolution workflows with vendors and MX
  • Drive data integration between pharmacy partners and internal systems to enable self-serve shipment tracking for members

5. Compliance & Quality Operations

  • Maintain working knowledge of 503A vs. 503B regulatory distinctions as they apply to our compounded network
  • Track third-party testing requirements (potency, sterility, endotoxins) across compounded partners; ensure testing cadence is met
  • Own the operational side of pharmacy recall and product withdrawal workflows
  • Support state board of pharmacy registration tracking across the vendor network
  • Partner with legal/compliance on any pharmacy-related regulatory inquiries or audits

6. Inventory, Capacity & Shortage Management

  • Track FDA shortage list and vendor allocation signals proactively; maintain a real-time view of network supply health
  • Develop and maintain substitution and allocation playbooks for shortage scenarios across compounded and branded products
  • Build a 30/60/90-day demand forecast in partnership with the clinical and growth teams; translate into vendor capacity conversations
  • Own the compounding batch timing and inventory cycle in coordination with 503A/503B partners

 

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 7+ years of experience in pharmacy operations, healthcare supply chain, or a closely related function; prior experience at a Senior Manager or Director level preferred
  • PharmD — we expect this person to bring clinical credibility alongside operational depth
  • Proven track record owning pharmacy vendor relationships end-to-end, including SLA accountability, QBRs, and contract negotiations
  • Hands-on experience with pharmaceutical cost structures and drug acquisition — you can build a pharmacy P&L model and defend it in a finance review
  • Experience operating in or adjacent to compounded pharmacy (503A or 503B) with a working understanding of USP compliance and third-party testing requirements
  • Strong analytical skills: you build your own models, spot anomalies, and come to conversations with data
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional work and influence without direct authority at a senior level
  • Comfortable in an early-stage, fast-moving environment where you are often writing the playbook for the first time

Nice to Have

  • Experience at a telehealth, direct-to-consumer pharmacy, or digital health company
  • Familiarity with GLP-1 therapies, semaglutide or tirzepatide supply dynamics, or compounded peptide operations
  • Experience running vendor RFPs or negotiating pharmacy contracts
  • Exposure to pharmacy data integrations 
  • Experience building or contributing to a pharmacy P&L model

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
