About the job Pharmacy Manager
AlediumHR is representing a global pharmaceutical organization preparing to open a new pharmacy location in Clarinda, Iowa, in Spring 2026.
They're looking for a Pharmacy Manager to lead the buildout and ongoing operations of this site. This is not a plug-and-play role—you'll have real influence over how the pharmacy is run, the team you build, and the experience delivered to the community.
If you've led a pharmacy before and want more ownership, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often.
Location: Onsite – Clarinda, Iowa
The Opportunity
You'll take the lead across both clinical care and day-to-day operations. That means setting the tone, building the team, and making sure everything—from patient care to compliance to financial performance—runs the way it should.
This role is hands-on. You're not sitting in an office removed from the work. You'll be in it with your team and your patients.
How You'll Make an Impact
- Oversee all pharmacy operations, ensuring compliance with state, federal, and organizational standards
- Lead the evaluation, preparation, and dispensing of medications with a high level of clinical accuracy
- Work directly with patients to answer questions, guide therapy, and build long-term trust
- Review and validate treatment plans for appropriateness and effectiveness
- Partner with prescribers and care teams to align on patient care decisions
- You'll also own the business and team side of the pharmacy:
- Hire, train, and lead pharmacy staff, including technicians
- Set expectations, monitor performance, and address issues quickly
- Drive operational efficiency while maintaining a strong patient experience
- Oversee prescription claims, reimbursement accuracy, and financial performance
- Ensure proper handling of controlled substances, documentation, and regulatory compliance
- Step into escalated situations and resolve patient concerns without delay
- Identify opportunities to improve workflow, service levels, and overall operations
What They're Looking For
- PharmD or Bachelor's in Pharmacy from an accredited program
- Active, unrestricted pharmacist license
- Prior leadership experience as a Pharmacy Manager or Pharmacist in Charge strongly preferred
- 2+ years of retail or ambulatory pharmacy experience with increasing responsibility
What Separates the Right Leader
- You've led a team before and know how to hold people accountable without overcomplicating things
- You understand both the clinical and business side of pharmacy—and can balance both
- You stay composed under pressure and make decisions quickly
- You take ownership. If something's off, you fix it
- Experience with the 340B program is a plus
This is a chance to build something the right way from the start. If you've been in a leadership role and want more control, more input, and more impact, this is where you step in.
