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.
