You’ll lead clinical and regulatory operations at Montu Pharmacy – the dispensing engine behind the UK’s largest medical cannabis clinic. We’re processing 50,000 prescriptions monthly with 10% month-on-month growth. This isn’t a traditional pharmacy role.
You’ll own:
- Clinical governance and professional leadership for a digital-first, high-volume operation
- GPhC and regulatory compliance across all pharmacy operations
- Controlled Drugs governance and record-keeping at scale
- Team leadership and clinical competency for 100+ pharmacy staff
- Pharmacy systems, SOPs, and automation strategy
- Regulatory inspections, audits, and industry representation
Who we’re looking for
- Worked as a Superintendent Pharmacist in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
- Led clinical teams in a scale-up, healthtech, or innovative healthcare setting
- Worked where the rulebook was still being written (and thrived in it)
You are:
- Registered with GPhC, with strong knowledge of current GPhC Standards and MHRA regulations
- Experienced in Controlled Drugs governance and regulatory compliance
- Comfortable with automation, pharmacy technology, and operational efficiency
- A calm decision-maker who can hold rigorous standards whilst navigating growth and complexity
- Commercially aware – you understand KPIs and how pharmacy operations drive business
- Able to influence across clinical and non-clinical teams
- Genuinely interested in healthcare innovation
This is not for you if: you’re looking for a predictable, quiet pharmacy role in a traditional setting. The pace is real. The expectations are high. You’ll need to act decisively without waiting for everything to be settled first.
Experience Required
- Current GPhC registration as a Pharmacist
- Experience as a Superintendent Pharmacist or senior pharmacy leader
- Deep understanding of GPhC Standards for Pharmacy Professionals
- MHRA regulations knowledge (importing, wholesaling, storage standards)
- Experience managing Controlled Drugs governance and regulation compliance
- Track record leading teams in high-volume pharmacy
- Experience with regulatory inspections and audit readiness
- Online pharmacy or digital health experience
- Medical cannabis or private healthcare sector experience
- Multi-site pharmacy or scaling operations experience
- Pharmacy technology, automation, or systems implementation experience
