Position Summary

The Manager, Sterile Manufacturing 503B is responsible for architecting, scaling, and sustaining Empower's global sterile manufacturing platform-the core engine behind the most advanced 503B compounding operation in the nation. This leader transforms systems, people, and processes into a synchronized powerhouse of safety, precision, and speed. Leveraging artificial intelligence, data intelligence, and operational rigor, this role ensures growth never outpaces quality or compliance.
