This is not a traditional pharmacist role. This position serves as a strategic advisor to hospital pharmacy teams, helping them navigate URAC and ACHC specialty pharmacy requirements while balancing compliance with real-world operations.

• Lead accreditation readiness efforts, including gap analyses, policy development, and survey preparation
• Guide clients through mock audits, corrective action planning, and ongoing compliance efforts
• Develop tools, templates, and processes that support scalable and sustainable compliance
• Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to align on approach and priorities
• Deliver training and provide ongoing education on accreditation standards
• Identify risks, recommend solutions, and drive continuous improvement across quality programs
• Act as a subject matter expert on URAC and ACHC standards

Qualifications

• Required: PharmD and active U.S. Pharmacist license in good standing
• 3+ years of pharmacy experience (hospital, specialty, or similar)
• Experience with compliance, audits, or quality initiatives
• Preferred: Exposure to URAC or ACHC accreditation
• People management or project management experience
• Experience working with cross-functional teams or external stakeholders

Requirements

• Strong judgment and ability to think beyond black-and-white solutions
• Comfort challenging assumptions and influencing stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to apply feedback and grow
• Focus on improving processes, not just completing tasks
• Ability to balance quality, speed, and competing priorities

Benefits

• High-impact, advisory-focused work supporting leading pharmacy programs
• Opportunity to shape how accreditation support is delivered
• Growing organization with strong visibility and career growth potential
