We are seeking a proactive and engaging Operations Implementation Manager to join our growing operations team and play a key role in delivering operational improvements across a nationwide pharmacy network of over 650 locations.
This is a highly visible, hands-on role that bridges the gap between the Support Centre and field operations, supporting the implementation of key operational projects aligned to our 5-year strategic plan. The successful candidate will combine strong analytical capability with exceptional stakeholder management skills and track record for operational excellence.
The Role
As an Operations Implementation Manager, you will act as the operational link between field teams, internal departments, and key stakeholders. You’ll spend approximately 3 days per week in the pharmacies, working directly with pharmacy teams to identify opportunities, improve processes, and support operational delivery.
You will help drive operational efficiency, strengthen compliance, improve stock management processes, and ensure projects are implemented effectively across the business.
Key Responsibilities
Field Engagement & Operational Execution
- Act as the on-the-ground operational representative across pharmacy locations
- Identify operational gaps and implement improvements within pharmacies
- Reduce reliance on Field Teams by taking ownership of:
- Project delivery support
- Validation and testing activities
- Process creation and documentation
- Build strong working relationships with field teams and maintain consistent engagement
