About MediCircle
MediCircle is building the national infrastructure to make prescription drugs affordable for every American and financially sustainable for the U.S. healthcare system.
We are an early-stage healthcare technology startup that drives prescription savings for patients and payers by reclaiming, recertifying, and redistributing unused medications. With MediCircle, patients receive their medications at no out-of-pocket cost, while payers, plan sponsors, and value-based care groups realize significant savings on their drug spend.
To date, we have reclaimed over $40 million worth of medications and launched with market-leading customers, including national VBCs, PBMs, and regional health systems.
If our mission resonates with you, and you are energized by building real-world solutions that directly impact the lives of millions of patients, we would love to hear from you.
Role Overview
You will partner with MediCircle’s Head of Pharmacy to help scale the patient-facing operations that power our medication redistribution platform. As one of the early pharmacists focused on dispensing, you will help ensure that patients receive medications safely, efficiently, and with clear communication and support.
This role is forward-facing and patient-centered, with significant interaction with patients, providers, and healthcare partners. You will support dispensing workflows, clinical verification, patient counseling, and operational coordination while helping refine the systems that support a growing national pharmacy platform.
The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator who naturally connects with patients and providers, while maintaining uncompromising standards for safety, compliance, and service quality. You thrive in fast-moving environments and enjoy helping build systems that improve patient experience and operational efficiency.
