Pharmacy Manager - Edmonton area

Welcome to Viking, Alberta: a welcoming, tight-knit prairie community located approximately 140 km southeast of Edmonton (1.5 hour drive outside the city). With deep agricultural roots, Viking is a town that offers the perfect balance of small-town warmth and modern convenience. Residents enjoy excellent amenities, including schools, recreation facilities, local shops, and scenic parks. It’s a place where neighbours know each other by name, and community pride runs deep.

If you’re seeking a fulfilling role where your clinical expertise, leadership, and patient-first mindset will be truly valued, all while enjoying a slower pace of life in a picturesque setting, Viking might be the perfect place to call home.

We are recruiting a Pharmacy Manager to lead a highly respected, full-service community pharmacy that has been proudly serving Viking and the surrounding region for years. This permanent, direct-hire opportunity offers the chance to join an experienced team, deliver high-quality patient care, and become an integral part of a community that truly values its healthcare providers.

Lead With Purpose, Serve With Excellence

We’re looking for a licensed pharmacist with strong leadership skills and a passion for clinical service to step into a dynamic Pharmacy Manager role. This position offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a modern, patient-centered environment.
