Step Away from the Retail Counter
Are you ready to trade traditional prescription-filling for a high-impact leadership role in pharmaceutical manufacturing? Rx Relief is seeking a dynamic, compliance-driven Pharmacist in Charge (PIC) to lead a premier 503B compounding facility in Houston. This operation focuses strictly on large-scale batch compounding, meaning zero face-to-face retail chaos or traditional prescription processing.
The Schedule & Work-Life Balance
Primary Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
Flexibility is Key: Because you will be the facility’s PIC, you will occasionally need to adjust your hours to oversee second-shift production or handle brief weekend check-ins. The leadership team is incredibly accommodating and offers excellent reciprocal flexibility to ensure you maintain a great work-life balance.

As the PIC, you will champion operational excellence, safety, and regulatory alignment across the facility. Your day-to-day will involve:
Overseeing all batch production and large-scale compounding processes.

Managing rigorous DEA reporting requirements, including ARCOS and CSOS.

Experience: Minimum of 2 years in a pharmacy leadership capacity (Director of Pharmacy, Pharmacy Manager, or Pharmaceutical Manufacturing role).
Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of cGMP regulations, validation protocols, and deviation/CAPA management.
Regulatory Compliance: Proven experience handling DEA reporting via ARCOS and CSOS.
