[Hiring] Pharmacy Technician - Project Management @TJM Labs

Role Description

We are seeking an experienced pharmacy technician to join our team in a remote, project-focused role. This position is ideal for someone who wants to apply their pharmacy knowledge beyond traditional prescription processing and dispensing responsibilities.

  • Key Responsibilities

  • Apply pharmacy technician experience to identify workflow challenges, operational gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Serve as a subject-matter expert on pharmacy operations, prescription workflows, terminology, and common pharmacy systems.
  • Gather project requirements and translate pharmacy needs into clear action plans, processes, and deliverables.
  • Develop project timelines, track milestones, document progress, and ensure deadlines are met.
  • Coordinate meetings, follow up on action items, and maintain clear communication among project stakeholders.
  • Assist with the development and implementation of pharmacy workflows, standard operating procedures, training materials, and operational resources.
  • Review processes and materials for accuracy, practicality, and alignment with real-world pharmacy operations.
  • Support pharmacy onboarding, implementation, training, or process-improvement initiatives as assigned.
  • Identify project risks, delays, and operational concerns and communicate them to the appropriate team members.
  • Maintain organized project documentation, reports, meeting notes, and status updates.
  • Build productive relationships with independent pharmacy owners, pharmacists, technicians, vendors, and internal teams.
  • Manage multiple projects and priorities in a remote work environment.
