Pharmacy Manager

This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a pharmacy backed by incredible leadership and generous total rewards.

This role isn’t for everyone: it’s ideal for someone with a builder’s mindset, who’s comfortable being the sole pharmacist at first (with support ready to help to cover when life happens), and thrives in a startup environment where autonomy, innovation, and bilingual (English/French) communication are key. If you’re passionate about patient care and the bigger picture of business development, this could be your dream role.
