    Location: Remote
    Compensation: 150,000-160,000 base + performance bonus + full benefits (based on experience and accreditation exposure)

    About the Role
    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. Success in this role requires strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to influence decisions—not just execute tasks.

    What You'll Do

    • Serve as a trusted advisor to hospital partners by interpreting and applying accreditation standards in practical ways
    • 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

    What Success Looks Like
    You are viewed as a trusted advisor, not just a task executor
    You effectively navigate ambiguity and make sound, independent decisions
    You provide practical, well-balanced recommendations that consider both compliance and operations
    You adapt quickly to feedback and continuously improve your approach

    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

    What Sets You Apart
    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

    How We Work
    Collaborative, high-accountability environment
    Fast-paced, quality-driven work
    Direct feedback and continuous learning are core expectations

    Why Join Us
    High-impact, advisory-focused work supporting leading pharmacy programs
    Opportunity to shape how accreditation support is delivered
