About the Role
This is not a traditional pharmacy role. You will lead one of the most ambitious rural health programs in South Carolina. This is a field program at real scale: 100+ screening events in the community over the next year, led by independent pharmacies..
This rural health program activates a network of independent pharmacies as structured community care sites across three rural hub regions (Oconee, Abbeville, and Orangeburg) reaching approximately 2,000 adults through community screening events in the first year. As Clinical Program Director, you serve as SiteLabs' operational lead and own the program from launch through delivery.
You will oversee pharmacy site activation and quality. You will take ownership of SiteLabs' established screening protocols and clinical escalation procedures, refining and improving them, not building them from the ground up. We have run these screenings before; your job is to make a proven model sharper and make it work at scale. You will lead pharmacy staff training and serve as the primary clinical counterpart to our academic health partner. You will start from an established playbook, strengthen it, and execute it in the field, spending several days per week on-site with partner pharmacies and at community screening events. You will also help establish and grow relationships with key stakeholders in the community and statewide, including the Department of Health and Human Services, South Carolina Pharmacists Association, health systems, health plans, and others. We are looking for a leader that will help extend the program's reach and create partnerships that will sustain it beyond the grant period. The balance of your time is remote.
You will report to the Director of Clinical Operations and lead a dedicated program team including community engagement, care navigation, and technical staff.
