About the Role
We are seeking a Vice President of Industrial Engineering to define and scale the systems that power our compounding and pharmacy fulfillment network.
This leader will own the design and evolution of our end-to-end production ecosystem, from compounding through dispensing, packaging, and delivery, ensuring it is compliant, scalable, and operationally excellent.
You will serve as the senior-most engineering partner to Pharmacy, Operations, and Quality leadership, bringing deep expertise in regulated environments (cGMP, USP, FDA) while driving modern, high-throughput system design. This role is critical to enabling the next phase of our manufacturing and fulfillment expansion, including new lines, facility builds, and automation investments.
Success in this role requires quickly building credibility with cross-functional leadership, establishing rigor in capital planning and project execution, and identifying and closing gaps across systems, workflows, and performance visibility.
This role will partner closely with senior leaders across Compounding Operations, R&D, and Global Quality, and will lead a team that includes Directors of Industrial Engineering, Device Engineering, Manufacturing, and Maintenance.
This is both a strategic and hands-on leadership role: setting direction, building the function, and ensuring disciplined execution across a growing network.

Operational Excellence & Throughput
Improve throughput, accuracy, and cost through workflow optimization, automation, and capacity planning

Identify and close critical gaps across systems, workflows, and performance visibility
Leadership & Team Development
Build and lead the Industrial Engineering function across a multi-site network
Mentor and elevate existing engineering leaders and teams, strengthening capabilities in regulated environments
Bring structure and clarity to how teams plan, execute, and report on large-scale initiatives
Serve as a key thought partner to senior leaders across Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Facilities, Technology, and Finance
What You Bring
12+ years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, or operations engineering within regulated or high-precision environments
Proven leadership experience across multi-site operations, including building and scaling engineering functions
Deep expertise in cGMP, FDA regulations, and Board of Pharmacy requirements (USP <795>, <797>, <800>)
Track record of designing and scaling high-throughput production, compounding, or fulfillment systems
Experience in cleanroom environments and regulated manufacturing (pharma, medical device, semiconductor, or similar)
Demonstrated ownership of large-scale capital programs (including facility builds, automation, and infrastructure investments)
