  • Coordinate with reverse distributors and suppliers; ensure compliant handling of controlled substances.
  • Support / coordinate recalls and field actions : traceability, lot verification, notifications, execution, and effectiveness checks.

    • Qualifications

  • 2–5 years in Quality Assurance within pharmacy operations, pharmaceutical distribution, 503A / central fill, 503B, or related GxP environment.
  • Working knowledge of state Board of Pharmacy, DEA, and applicable FDA / GMP requirements.
  • Hands-on experience with internal audits, CAPA, deviation / complaint investigations, and supplier qualification.
  • Experience with a QMS / eQMS (e.g., TrackWise or similar) including change control, document control, training, and CAPA workflows.
  • Zendesk or comparable ticketing / case-management platform experience for issue intake, triage, and customer-impact documentation.
  • Strong attention to detail; clear written / verbal communication; ability to influence cross-functionally under time pressure.

    • Desired Attributes

  • CPhT or state Pharmacy Technician license; RAC, ASQ CQA, or similar quality certification.
  • Experience with temperature-controlled logistics, courier oversight, and excursion management.
