SynergenX is seeking an experienced Senior Director of Pharmacy Operations to lead and strengthen our pharmacy operations as our organization continues to grow.

This is a highly visible leadership position for a experienced senior pharmacy operations leader who understands how to build efficient, compliant, scalable operations while maintaining exceptional standards for medication safety, quality, patient service, and team performance.

The Senior Director of Pharmacy Operations will provide strategic and day-to-day leadership across pharmacy operations, including pharmacy leadership, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, customer service personnel, workflow optimization, regulatory compliance, staffing, inventory, operational performance, financial management, and continuous improvement.

This role reports directly to the CEO and will work closely with Executive Leadership, Operations, Human Resources, Finance, IT, Customer Service, Compliance, and other teams throughout the organization.

Location Requirement

Candidates must currently reside in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and be able to work onsite in Colleyville, Texas (no exceptions to be made).

The organization anticipates that this position will eventually transition to the Houston, Texas area. Candidates must therefore be willing and able to relocate to Houston in the future. A specific relocation timeline is not currently guaranteed.
