About Us
At The Pharmacy Hub , we collaborate with pharmaceutical brands, manufacturers, health brands, telemedicine providers, and healthcare companies to deliver essential products directly to patients. Our expertise allows us to seamlessly distribute pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other healthcare products to consumers, ensuring greater accessibility and convenience.
About the Role
The R D Pharmacy Technician supports the development, evaluation, and scale-up of compounded pharmaceutical preparations and innovative dosage forms. You'll work closely with Product Development Scientists on formulation trials, compounding activities, process optimization, equipment operation, documentation, and stability studies — all while ensuring compliance with USP standards, cGMP principles, company procedures, and regulatory requirements.
We're specifically looking for an already-experienced compounding pharmacy technician — this is not an entry-level role. An active Florida State Pharmacy Technician License is required, no exceptions . If you're proactive, open-minded, hungry to grow, and comfortable owning a project from start to finish with minimal oversight, this role is for you.
