Job Description

Patient Care Manager

Front‐End Pharmacy Operations | Leadership Role

 

If You’re a District Manager in Retail or Pharmacy...

...and you love developing leaders, running a tight operation, and driving service and financial results, but you’re ready to:

• Get out of constant travel and fire‐drills
• Have real influence instead of fighting red tape
• Lead a smaller team where your decisions matter
• Enjoy consistent hours and protected personal time

This role was designed specifically for leaders like you.

 

About Us

Potter’s House Apothecary is a PCAB‐accredited compounding pharmacy delivering customized medications and patient‐focused wellness services. We operate with the discipline of a large retailer and the flexibility of a small organization, allowing leaders to focus on execution, people, and results—not bureaucracy.

 

The Role: District‐Level Leadership, Single‐Operation Focus

The Patient Care Manager functions much like a District Manager, but instead of overseeing multiple stores, you are accountable for total performance of patient‐facing operations within one high‐impact pharmacy environment.

 

You lead through Lead Pharmacy Technicians, who manage front‐line staff (Clerks, Patient Care Coordinators, Patient Care Technicians, and Senior Technicians). Your job is to build leaders, set standards, and ensure flawless execution across service, staffing, compliance, and financial performance.

 

What You Will Actually Do (Day‐to‐Day & Ongoing)

Talent Acquisition, Development & Performance Management

This is a core function of the role.

• Build and maintain a strong talent pipeline for all patient care roles
• Oversee recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, training, and the employee review cycle
• Ensure new hires reach productivity benchmarks on schedule
• Lead ongoing coaching, assessments, and corrective action when needed
• Develop Lead Technicians as people leaders, not just task owners
• Drive engagement, accountability, and retention across the team

Service Excellence & Patient Experience

• Own delivery of a 5‐Star experience for patients and providers
• Set expectations for call handling, lobby interactions, follow‐up, and issue resolution
• Personally handle escalated patient or provider concerns
• Monitor service metrics and implement corrective action plans
• Ensure front‐line staff can confidently educate patients on:
  • Pharmacy services
  • OTC recommendations
  • Wellness offerings (Red Light Therapy, In‐Body scans, consultations)

Operational Execution, Standards & Safety

• Own daily execution of pharmacy front‐end operations
• Ensure the lobby is consistently faced, stocked, clean, and professional
• Conduct routine operational audits to ensure SOP adherence
• Maintain regulatory compliance and pharmacy safety standards
• Ensure prescription workflows support accuracy, timeliness, and capacity
• Partner with pharmacists, leadership, and compliance as needed

Process Improvement & Technology Enablement

• Identify efficiencies and breakdowns in workflows and staffing models
• Partner closely with IT and leadership to:
  • Troubleshoot system issues
  • Test new tools, workflows, and initiatives
  • Provide frontline feedback before rollout
• Lead change management with your team during new implementations

Financial Ownership & Business Acumen

• Review and interpret P&L statements relevant to patient care operations
• Understand labor, productivity, and service costs
• Identify financial impact and ROI of staffing, scheduling, and training decisions
• Partner with leadership to adjust strategies based on performance trends

 

Team Structure You Lead

• Direct Reports: Lead Technicians
• Indirect Reports:
  • Clerks
  • Patient Care Coordinators
  • Patient Care Technicians
  • Senior Technicians

This is a true leader‐of‐leaders role, not a supervisor position.

 

What Success Looks Like

• Open roles are filled quickly with high‐quality talent
• Team members are well‐trained, confident, and accountable
• Lead Technicians manage independently and proactively
• Patients and providers consistently report excellent experiences
• Operations run smoothly, safely, and profitably
• You are solving fewer emergencies and preventing more problems

 

Background That Translates Well

• 5+ years of multi‐unit, district, or high‐volume operations leadership·
• Strong experience with recruiting, performance management, and succession planning
• Comfort reviewing P&L statements and labor models
• Pharmacy, healthcare, or regulated retail experience strongly preferred
• Pharmacy technician license or experience is a plus

 

Why Leaders Leave Big Retail for This Role

• No nights, weekends, or holidays
• One operation instead of constant location hopping
• Real authority to hire, develop, and improve
• Executive access and visible impact
• A leadership job that supports long‐term sustainability, not burnout

 

Benefits & Perks

• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Paid Time Off (PTO) & Holidays
• 401(k) Retirement Plan with Company Match
• Employee Discounts on Pharmacy Services
• Supportive, Mission-Driven Culture Focused on Patient Care

 

Reporting Structure

Reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer
