Pharmacist

About us

Since the 1930s, the way we commute, socialize and even how we make payments have changed, and yet our fundamental approach to the healthcare system hasn't.

At Ordinary Folk, we're reimagining the building blocks of healthcare, through Noah and Zoey. Noah allows men to receive remote diagnosis and treatment across varying areas of care. Through Zoey, women's sexual wellness and fertility journeys are supported with thoughtful products and services.

We are now building an in-house pharmaceutical compounding facility in Singapore - and we're looking for a pharmacist who wants to be at the centre of it.

The Opportunity

This isn't a typical retail or hospital pharmacy role. You'll be part of a new compounding operation, with the chance to:

• Build a compounding facility from the ground up - from equipment selection and SOP development to formulation, validation, and production

• Serve as the Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC) for our HSA Retail Pharmacy Licence

• Lead formulation development for novel combination products

• Own quality assurance - establish QC processes, stability testing, and batch documentation from Day 1

If you've ever wanted to shape a pharmacy operation rather than inherit one, this is it.
