Job Description
Kenron Pharmacy Group is seeking one to two experienced Pharmacy Manager / Licensees to support our growing pharmacy operations in Calgary.
This is a hands-on pharmacy leadership role for someone who enjoys community pharmacy, values high clinical standards, and is motivated by the opportunity to lead teams, strengthen operations, and deliver exceptional patient care.
Each successful candidate will serve as the Pharmacy Manager / Licensee for an assigned Kenron location, with responsibility for day-to-day pharmacy operations, team leadership, patient care, regulatory compliance, workflow, and clinical service delivery.
