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. The Manager oversees the integration of AI-driven manufacturing systems that predict, prevent, and perfect performance. Success in this role is measured by flawless execution, regulatory excellence, and intelligent scalability-delivering benchmark results that expand Empower's ability to improve and save lives at scale.
