Job Description

Company Overview

Before we opened Strive Pharmacy we were unsatisfied with the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the current pharmaceuticals only offer a one size fits all approach and often come with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. We found that through compounding we can offer a much more personalized solution to medicine.

Through this we have been able to help patients get the results they are seeking for their personal needs. After years of working for corporate chains we took the risk and opened Strive Pharmacy. We are dedicated to providing a better experience for each customer and clinic that we work with. Come see the Strive difference.

Our Mission

We're flipping the script with personal medicine. We strive to interrupt an industry that has been closed to personalized care, accessibility, and nuance for too long. We strive to shift a reactive view of self-care and ignite a proactive baseline-shifting approach to health for all. 'The human element' is our crux and catalyst, driving all that we do, whether we're interacting with patients, providers, or practices. We're here to partner with those ready for a change. More than a compounding pharmacy, we're on a mission to positively disrupt healthcare as we know it. Strive is about more than medicine. Strive is about striving for the personal side of healthcare.

The Compliance Officer at Strive Pharmacy is responsible for ensuring adherence to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including oversight of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP). This role encompasses accreditation support, telehealth compliance, multi-state dispensing, and shared services to promote safe, compliant pharmacy operations across all locations. Working closely with pharmacy teams, the Compliance Officer will conduct audits, manage regulatory requirements, and support Strive Pharmacy's commitment to operational excellence and patient safety.
