Formulating / Compounding Pharmacist

Position Overview

The Formulating / Compounding Pharmacist leads formulation development, batch scaling, and quality release within the laboratory and cleanroom suites. This role operates directly at the intersection of formulation science, clinical research, and production—translating digital health clinical protocols into stable, scalable, patient-ready preparations across peptides, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT), weight management treatments, customized topicals, and sublingual delivery systems.

Working closely with the Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC), compounding technicians, and operations leadership, the Formulating Pharmacist authors and standardizes Master Formulation Records (MFRs), establishes beyond-use dating (BUD), enforces strict cleanroom containment under USP , USP , and USP , and oversees third-party analytical release testing to ensure finished preparations withstand nationwide direct-to-consumer parcel transit.

• Bridges clinical telehealth concepts and scalable production. They are responsible for authoring, testing, and standardizing MFRs across diverse delivery forms, including peptide protocols, bioidentical hormones (HRT), and customized topicals, selecting appropriate bases and excipient systems that remain stable under production conditions.
• Unlike a general dispensing pharmacist, this role requires deep, practical cleanroom command. The candidate must enforce daily compliance across USP (non-sterile), USP (sterile), and USP (hazardous drug handling), including engineering controls, laminar airflow workbenches, negative pressure containment, and personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols.Formulations must hold up legally and clinically.
• The pharmacist determines defendable BUDs per USP guidelines and stability-indicating literature, reviews incoming active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), and coordinates third-party analytical testing for potency, sterility, endotoxins, and particulate matter prior to commercial batch release.
• This is an active lab leadership position. The pharmacist directly verifies compounding calculations, powder reconciliations, and equipment parameters (e.g., planetary mixers, unguators, encapsulation machines), while supervising and training compounding technicians to eliminate batch yield loss and prevent cross-contamination.
