Our pharmacy division supports high-volume prescription fulfillment, sterile and nonsterile compounding, and direct-to-consumer healthcare businesses throughout the United States. As we continue acquiring and expanding pharmacy operations nationwide, we are looking for exceptional people who want to help build something extraordinary. We aren’t interested in doing things the way they’ve always been done. We want people who can rethink how the pharmaceutical supply chain operates. THE OPPORTUNITY We are seeking a highly motivated, commercially minded Director of Pharmaceutical Supply Chain & Procurement to lead purchasing, supplier relationships, inventory management, and supply chain optimization across our growing network of pharmacies. Reporting directly to the CEO of Scriptful RX, this individual will have significant responsibility for building and managing our pharmaceutical supply chain infrastructure. This is not simply a purchasing position. We want someone who understands the economics of pharmaceutical procurement, knows how to negotiate aggressively, understands pharmaceutical sourcing and distribution, and can build systems capable of supporting significant national growth. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring we consistently purchase the highest-quality pharmaceutical products at the most competitive prices while maintaining complete supply chain transparency, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 1. Pharmaceutical Procurement & Purchasing Oversee pharmaceutical purchasing across all Scriptful RX pharmacy locations. Develop and execute a centralized purchasing strategy designed to maximize buying power across the organization. Negotiate pricing, rebates, payment terms, and purchasing agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and suppliers. Identify opportunities to purchase pharmaceutical products directly from manufacturers where commercially and legally appropriate. Continuously benchmark purchasing costs against competing suppliers and market pricing. Establish preferred supplier agreements and strategic purchasing relationships. Manage procurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, packaging materials, finished pharmaceuticals, and other pharmacy-related supplies. Identify alternative suppliers to improve pricing, availability, and supply chain resilience. 2. Supplier Relationships & Negotiations Build and maintain relationships with domestic and international pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and authorized distributors. Negotiate favorable long-term supply agreements. Evaluate suppliers based on pricing, product quality, regulatory compliance, reliability, and delivery performance. Develop strategic relationships with API manufacturers and suppliers serving sterile and nonsterile compounding operations.

Implement demand forecasting based on historical prescription volume, customer growth, and anticipated product demand. Reduce expired inventory, product waste, and unnecessary carrying costs. Establish inventory turnover targets and purchasing controls. Coordinate inventory transfers between facilities where legally permitted. Build reporting systems that provide real-time visibility into inventory, purchasing, and product availability. 4. Pharmaceutical Cost Reduction & Margin Optimization A major component of this position will be identifying opportunities to reduce pharmaceutical acquisition costs and improve profitability. Responsibilities include: Analyze purchasing costs at the SKU and product level. Identify lower-cost sourcing opportunities without compromising quality.

Evaluate make-versus-buy economics where applicable. Identify purchasing consolidation opportunities following pharmacy acquisitions. Work closely with finance and pharmacy operations to understand product-level profitability. Establish measurable cost-saving initiatives and report results directly to executive leadership.
