Our client, a fast-growing 503A pharmacy operation, is looking for a seasoned Director of Compounding Operations to lead both sterile and non-sterile production across multiple cleanrooms. If you’re a hands-on leader with deep knowledge of USP <795>, <797>, and <800>, and you’re excited by the challenge of scaling production, optimizing compounding processes, and mentoring a high-performing team — this role is built for you.

You’ll work closely with leadership and cross-functional teams to refine compounding workflows, ensure compliance, drive innovation, and lead future facility expansion efforts.

Director of Compounding Operations – Benefits & Compensation

  • Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)
  • Opportunities for professional growth and operational leadership

  • High-visibility role with ownership of both strategy and execution

Director of Compounding Operations – Requirements & Qualifications

Here’s what we’re screening for:

  • At least 3 years in a leadership or operations management role
  • Deep knowledge of USP <795>, <797>, and <800> standards
  • ACPE IV certification
  • Proven experience leading sterile and non-sterile teams in a 503A setting
  • Experience with regulatory compliance, QA documentation, and cleanroom oversight
  • Strong communication, process improvement, and leadership skills

Must Haves

What this job actually looks like day to day:

  • Lead compounding teams across multiple shifts, driving efficiency and accountability
  • Own the batch production process, from planning and throughput to in-process controls
  • Scale workflows and SOPs as the pharmacy grows — including automation and cleanroom expansions
  • Oversee facility readiness, audits, and environmental monitoring
  • Mentor compounding technicians, supervisors, and support staff with a focus on safety and quality
  • Collaborate with QA/QC on documentation, deviation investigations, and CAPA tracking
  • Work closely with R&D/formulation to bring pilot batches into full-scale production
  • Manage vendor relationships, inventory levels, and production KPIs

Director of Compounding Operations – Preferred Background & Skills

You’ll stand out if you bring:

  • Experience with PioneerRx, Pestle, or other compounding production software
  • Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement training
  • Hands-on experience relocating or expanding compounding operations
  • Knowledge of high-throughput equipment, robotics, or automation systems
  • A proven track record leading compliance through growth and operational change

This is more than just a pharmacy leadership role — it’s a chance to lead a growing operation and shape the future of personalized medicine production. If you’re passionate about quality, compliance, and scaling high-impact teams, we’d love to hear from you.
