- 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

Qualifications
- PharmD and active U.S. Pharmacist license in good standing
- 3+ years of pharmacy experience (hospital, specialty, or similar)
