District Pharmacy Coordinator

The District Pharmacy Coordinator (DPC) plays a critical role supporting the effective coordination of scheduling in pharmacies across their market. With strong organization skills, high accountability, and consistent follow-through, the DPC ensures that all pharmacist schedules are created and published on time, with coverage and contingency plans in-place, to support day-to-day pharmacy operations and protect against business disruption. The DPC additionally supports the scheduling and staffing of outside immunization clinics, supporting client relationships and ensuring clinic teams are prepared for success. The DPC serves as a timekeeping administrator for market pharmacists and is responsible for accurate and timely execution of pharmacist payroll submission. As a key support to the Pharmacy District Leader (Rx DL), the DPC serves as a delegate to execute base changes, track and monitor vacation requests, manage pay code balances and may support additional administrative activities related to the compliant and effective functioning of market pharmacies, including but not limited to:

• Partnering with Rx DL to identify and close any gaps with PIC/POA registrations for each pharmacy location with the state Board of Pharmacy

• Escalating and/or following up on issues impacting effective pharmacy operations, e.g. TempAlert excursions, Service Channel tickets, store supply ordering, exception reporting, audits, etc.

This is a non-exempt, 30-hour per week role; the DPC may choose to work 10 additional hours per week in a local CVS pharmacy as a Technician to augment their pay and stay closer to pharmacy operations in support of enhanced market performance.
