Director of Pharmacy

Director of Pharmacy Compliance | Pittsburgh, PA | On-Site (Relocation assistance available)A well-established and growing multistate pharmacy organization is seeking an experienced compliance leader to build and run its pharmacy compliance program from the ground up. This is a confidential search for a company with a long track record in the pharmacy space and an active, multi-state expansion underway — offering the rare opportunity to shape a compliance function from a blank slate rather than inherit someone else's.About the RoleThe primary focus of this role is strong, demonstrated experience in Compliance, Regulatory Affairs, and State Pharmacy Regulations, paired with a solid background in compounding operations — sterile compounding (USP <797>), non-sterile compounding (USP <795>), and hazardous drug handling and compliance (USP <800>). The ideal candidate can navigate complex, multi-jurisdictional regulatory environments, ensure ongoing compliance with state and federal requirements, and support quality and patient safety initiatives within a pharmacy or similar setting.Day to day, this means reviewing and interpreting state-by-state pharmacy regulations before the company enters a new market; maintaining a living regulatory requirements matrix across every state where the organization holds licensure; auditing compounding facilities, records, and personnel practices for USP <795>/<797>/<800> adherence; and reviewing new compounding formulas and processes for regulatory risk before they go live. You'll manage resident and nonresident pharmacy licensure, pharmacist-in-charge requirements, and renewal deadlines across multiple states, and serve as the point person preparing pharmacy locations and staff for Board of Pharmacy, FDA, and DEA inspections.Risk Management experience is a strong plus — you'll be identifying, assessing, and mitigating compliance and operational risks across the organization, running root-cause analysis on findings, and turning them into corrective action plans and updated training. This role also calls for proven leadership: someone who can lead teams, drive accountability, collaborate across departments, and help advance strategic initiatives. Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to influence and guide organizational decision-making will be essential to success here.What You'll Own:Enterprise-wide pharmacy compliance and regulatory risk-management programSterile/nonsterile compounding oversight (USP <795>, <797>, <800>; FDA 503A)Multistate licensure strategy — resident/nonresident permits, PIC requirements, renewalsBoard of Pharmacy, FDA, and DEA inspection readinessCompliance risk register, investigations, and corrective action plansCross-functional leadership with Quality, Operations, Clinical, Legal, and HRWhat You Bring:Bachelor's degree + 5 years progressive experience in Compliance, Regulatory Affairs, or State Pharmacy RegulationsSolid background in sterile compounding (USP <797>), non-sterile compounding (USP <795>), and hazardous drug handling (USP <800>)Proven ability to navigate complex, multi-state regulatory environmentsProven leadership experience — driving accountability and collaborating across departmentsRisk Management experience strongly preferredStrong communication skills and sound judgment in guiding organizational decisionsBonus Points:PharmD or BS Pharmacy, pharmacist licensure eligible in PAExperience opening or scaling a compounding pharmacy503A/503B experience, DEA/controlled-substance knowledgeCHC, CHPC, or similar compliance credentialDirector of Pharmacy Compliance | Pittsburgh, PA | On-Site (Relocation assistance available)
