Job Description
The role Solaris Healthcare provides hospice, home health and palliative care across twenty-five offices in north, central and east Texas, and operates its own pharmacies to serve those patients. We are looking for a business operations leader to run the pharmacy side of the company as it grows. This is a business and operations role rather than a clinical one. Our pharmacist-in-charge at each site owns dispensing and clinical practice. You would own the economics, contracts, data, expansion, delivery logistics, and other systems that let a multi-site pharmacy operation serve a large geography well. What you would own Multi-site operations Operational performance across all pharmacy sites: workflow, staffing schedules, throughput and service levels to our care teams. Delivery logistics and driver operations, including routing, on-call coverage and cost per delivery. Inventory management, purchasing discipline and shrink control. Standard operating procedures that work the same way at every location. Expansion and new sites Site selection analysis: drive-time modeling, labor supply, lease economics and volume forecasting. Full ownership of new pharmacy openings, from lease through licensure, build, systems, staffing and go-live. Texas State Board of Pharmacy and DEA applications, working with counsel and our pharmacists-in-charge. Contracts and cost Wholesaler relationships and prime vendor agreements, including generic compliance ratios, rebate tiers and secondary supplier strategy. Contracts with partner and network pharmacies where we route volume rather than fill it ourselves. Vendor management across software, packaging, insurance and delivery. Cost per prescription filled as a managed metric, with a documented plan for reducing it. Data and reporting Build the reporting we currently lack: script volume by site and service line, cost to fill, delivery cost per run, urgent order frequency and cause, inventory turns, contract margin. Own the pharmacy management system and its data quality. Bring analysis to leadership decisions rather than opinion and be willing to have that analysis challenged. Compliance and quality Partner with each pharmacist-in-charge so that every site stays inspection-ready. Own the operational side of Board of Pharmacy, DEA and accreditation readiness: records, security, controlled substance accountability and policy currency. Track regulatory change that affects how we operate and translate it into practice. Required Five or more years running pharmacy operations, ideally closed-door, long-term care, hospice, specialty or infusion rather than chain retail. Ownership of a profit and loss statement or a significant cost line, with results you can describe in numbers.
