About The Position

Cahaba Medical Care is a Community Health Center (FQHC), accredited as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and Joint Commission, that provides medical, pharmacy, dental, and behavioral health services to diverse underserved communities. We are committed to increasing integration and coordination of behavioral health and primary care. This is an exciting, fast paced practice with a strong mission and commitment to providing high quality care. The 340B Pharmacy Manager is responsible for the qualifications, compliance, operational execution, and financial optimization of the organization's 340B Drug Program. This role leverages deep clinical pharmacy knowledge alongside data analytics to optimize drug purchasing, manage complex inventory workflows, and ensure total compliance with HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration) regulations. The manager bridges the gap between clinical operations, pharmacy informatics, and federal compliance to stretch scarce resources for underserved patient populations.

• Minimum of 3 years of pharmacy experience, with at least 1–2 years of dedicated experience managing 340B program operations or pharmacy compliance in a covered entity (e.g., DSH, FQHC).
