* Leadership of day-to-day compounding operations
* Cross-functional collaboration with QA, engineering, and supply chain
* Capacity planning and resource optimization
* Continuous improvement projects (Lean, Six Sigma – we love it)
* Budget and financial performance
* Building a strong, high-performing team from the ground up
Someone With

* Leadership experience in pharmaceuticals or medical devices (GMP is a must)
* Passion for process improvement and operational excellence
* A leader able to motivate and drive a team
* Financial acumen and strong analytical mindset
* A team-first mentality and the drive to make things happen under tight timelines
You'll be joining a collaborative culture, working alongside two other top-tier Operations Managers, and shaping a department from scratch,
with brand-new equipment and a strong leadership team behind you.
