Our client is the nation’s largest, most advanced 503A compounding pharmacy and 503B outsourcing facility. With a mission to improve patient access to quality medications, they’ve built a reputation for innovation, precision, and compliance in one of the most highly regulated sectors of healthcare. Their team is dedicated to providing prescribers and patients with trusted, affordable compounded therapies across pain management, hormone health, neurology, and other therapeutic areas.

The Opportunity
This is not just another VP role. This is a chance to build and lead Medical Affairs from the ground up at one of the fastest-growing names in compounding. This company is expanding rapidly, and with that growth comes a need for an experienced Medical Affairs executive who can elevate their scientific credibility, ensure compliance with DEA/FDA requirements, and build trust with prescribers across the U.S.

Build the function: Establish the Medical Affairs vision, infrastructure, SOPs, and team at Empower.

Leadership impact: You won’t just inherit a team — you’ll build and shape Medical Affairs from the ground up.
