If you have a background that spans pharmacy operations, construction management, and regulatory compliance, this is a rare role that pulls all three together. Gilbert Pharmaceuticals is looking for a Head of Design, Development, and Construction to drive the national expansion of its pharmacy network — entirely remotely.

The position covers everything from finding and evaluating potential sites to managing design teams, contractors, budgets, and build-outs. Crucially, it also includes steering each new facility through the regulatory approval process needed to actually open and operate. That means familiarity with both 503A compounding pharmacy standards and the stricter FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facility requirements under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) rules.

The role reports to the Director of Pharmacy Development and Operations, and the ideal candidate is someone who has genuinely done this before — someone who knows how to move a pharmacy from blank-page concept through licensure and first day of operations without losing the thread on compliance, budget, or timeline.

One notable detail: Gilbert Pharmaceuticals describes itself as an AI-first company, meaning employees are expected to use large language model tools as a genuine starting point for their work, not as an afterthought. If that kind of workflow appeals to you, it's worth exploring.
