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.

Responsibilities

  • 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

Qualifications

  • 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

Skills

  • 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
  • Solid computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office tools (Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for communication, documentation, and data management, as well as navigating the internet and web-based platforms

Pay

150,000‑160,000 base salary + performance bonus + full benefits (based on experience and accreditation exposure)
