Pharmacist - Recertification Operations (Full-Time)

About MediCircle

MediCircle is building the national infrastructure to make prescription drugs affordable for every American and financially sustainable for the U.S. healthcare system.

We are an early-stage healthcare technology startup that drives prescription savings for patients and payers by reclaiming, recertifying, and redistributing unused medications. With MediCircle, patients receive their medications at no out-of-pocket cost, while payers, plan sponsors, and value-based care groups realize significant savings on their drug spend. To date, we have reclaimed over $40 million worth of medications and launched with market-leading customers, including national VBCs, PBMs, and regional health systems.

If our mission resonates with you, and you are energized by building real-world solutions that directly impact the lives of millions of patients, we would love to hear from you.

Role Overview

You will partner with MediCircle’s Head of Pharmacy to help design and scale the operational foundation powering our medication recertification program. As one of the early pharmacists focused on recertification, you will help transform early-stage workflows into reliable, highly efficient, and compliant systems capable of supporting national-scale operations.

This role is primarily backend and operational, focused on building and refining the processes that ensure reclaimed medications are evaluated, documented, and recertified according to the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance. You will work closely with pharmacy technicians, operations staff, and technology teams to develop systems that support meticulous review and efficient throughput.

The ideal candidate is exceptionally detail-oriented, process-driven, and continuously seeking ways to improve operational systems. You maintain uncompromising standards for safety and accuracy, while also identifying opportunities to make processes faster, clearer, and more scalable.

Over time, this role is expected to grow into Head of Recertification, leading the systems, processes, and teams responsible for MediCircle’s national recertification operations.
