General Manager - Pharmacy

We are a fast-growing health technology startup with a single, clear purpose: to make high-quality pharmacy care genuinely accessible to every patient in the UK - not just those who can easily reach a high street chemist or navigate a complex healthcare system.

Too many patients still experience pharmacy as transactional, frustrating, or hard to reach. Medication errors, poor communication, and lack of continuity of care affect real people every day. We exist to change that - and we are building the operational infrastructure, the technology, and the team to make it happen at scale.

We have built real momentum. Now we need a General Manager of Pharmacy who can match that momentum with operational excellence - someone who has scaled operations before, who understands what it takes to perform at high volume without sacrificing quality, and who brings the knowledge and the standards to take us to the next level.

As Pharmacy GM, you will be the person who ensures that patient-centred care is not just a value on our wall - it is how our pharmacy operates every single day.

This is a rare opportunity for an exceptional operator to step into a role with genuine ownership, real impact, and the satisfaction of building something that measurably improves the health of thousands of patients.

What is the job?

This is an end-to-end leadership role with full accountability for the pharmacy operation. You will set the clinical and operational standards that determine the patient experience, build and lead the team that delivers them, and own the commercial performance that makes it all sustainable.

You will work closely with the Managing Director and leadership team on strategy - and you will be the person who turns that strategy into a pharmacy service patients genuinely trust and value.

What you will own

• Transitioning the business from a scale up to a nationally significant pharmacy operations and logistics business

What do you need?

We are looking for a leader who is genuinely motivated by patient outcomes - not just compliance and throughput. You will be commercially sharp and operationally rigorous, but your north star will always be the patient in front of you.

You don't have to come from the pharmacy sector but have a real passion to own your business unit, be best in class at scaling a logistics and operationally focused business within the online pharmacy space.

Essential

• Proven track record of full operational ownership at senior level - you have been the person accountable for outcomes, and you have delivered them
• Demonstrated experience of scaling high-volume operations - you have grown throughput significantly, and you understand what needs to be built to make that sustainable. You need to demonstrate operational and logistics scaling experience of over 150+ staff and utilising technology and new ways of working to achieve scale.

Desirable

• Direct pharmacy or healthcare operations experience at scale
• Experience designing or improving patient journeys, clinical pathways, or care models
• Experience in digital, online, or technology-enabled pharmacy - particularly models focused on patient access and adherence
• Superintendent Pharmacist experience or willingness to hold SP responsibilities
• Exposure to patient feedback and quality improvement methodologies (e.g. patient safety incident frameworks, Net Promoter Score in a clinical context)
• Experience working with product or technology teams to build patient-facing tools

Bonus Points

• GPhC registered pharmacist with a strong, active clinical foundation and a genuine passion for patient care

What we offer:

• Generous Leave: 25 days holiday (rising to 27 after year one and 30 after year two) + 8 bank holidays
