Clinical Accreditation Manager

Role Summary

• Clinical Accreditation Manager
• Location: Remote
• Compensation: 150,000-160,000 base + performance bonus + full benefits (based on experience and accreditation exposure)

This is not a traditional pharmacist role. This position serves as a strategic advisor to hospital pharmacy teams, helping them navigate URAC and ACHC specialty pharmacy requirements while balancing compliance with real-world operations. Success in this role requires strong judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to influence decisions—not just execute tasks.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to hospital partners by interpreting and applying accreditation standards in practical ways
• Lead accreditation readiness efforts, including gap analyses, policy development, and survey preparation
• Guide clients through mock audits, corrective action planning, and ongoing compliance efforts
• Develop tools, templates, and processes that support scalable and sustainable compliance
• Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to align on approach and priorities
• Deliver training and provide ongoing education on accreditation standards
• Identify risks, recommend solutions, and drive continuous improvement across quality programs
• Act as a subject matter expert on URAC and ACHC standards

What Success Looks Like

• You are viewed as a trusted advisor, not just a task executor
• You effectively navigate ambiguity and make sound, independent decisions
• You provide practical, well-balanced recommendations that consider both compliance and operations
• You adapt quickly to feedback and continuously improve your approach

Requirements

• PharmD and active U.S. Pharmacist license in good standing
• 3+ years of pharmacy experience (hospital, specialty, or similar)
• Experience with compliance, audits, or quality initiatives

Preferred

• Exposure to URAC or ACHC accreditation
• People management or project management experience
• Experience working with cross-functional teams or external stakeholders
• What Sets You Apart
• Strong judgment and ability to think beyond black-and-white solutions
• Comfort challenging assumptions and influencing stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to apply feedback and grow
• Focus on improving processes, not just completing tasks
• Ability to balance quality, speed, and competing priorities
• How We Work
• Collaborative, high-accountability environment
• Fast-paced, quality-driven work
• Direct feedback and continuous learning are core expectations

About the Company

• High-impact, advisory-focused work supporting leading pharmacy programs
• Opportunity to shape how accreditation support is delivered
