This role offers the opportunity to become a key partner to pharmacy leadership while helping coordinate operations that support hundreds of team members across UVA Health's pharmacy enterprise.

As an Administrative Specialist, you will provide high-level administrative and operational support to pharmacy leaders while contributing to onboarding, scheduling, departmental coordination, and workflow management. This is an ideal opportunity for a healthcare administrative professional who enjoys variety, independence, and meaningful collaboration within a complex healthcare organization.

This full-time, on-site position supports three pharmacy enterprise directors and plays an important role in helping a large, geographically distributed pharmacy operation run efficiently.

• Support onboarding activities and scheduling for new pharmacy team members.
• Assist with requisitions, financial processes, approvals, and operational workflows.
• Coordinate communication and administrative activities across multiple pharmacy locations.
• Maintain office operations, administrative resources, and supply management.
• Anticipate leadership needs and proactively address administrative challenges.
• Partner with a growing administrative support team to improve efficiency and standardize processes.

This role offers significant visibility to senior pharmacy leadership, exposure to a healthcare operation supporting more than 650 pharmacy professionals, and the opportunity to contribute beyond traditional administrative support functions. Success in this position comes from strong organization, attention to detail, professionalism, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with confidence.

UVA Health is one of the nation's leading academic health systems, bringing together world-class patient care, education, and research.

What makes this opportunity stand out:

• Direct partnership with pharmacy executive leadership, providing meaningful exposure to strategic initiatives and operational decision-making.
• Broad organizational impact through support of a complex pharmacy enterprise spanning multiple care settings.
• Opportunities to influence and improve onboarding, administrative workflows, and departmental processes.
• A collaborative and expanding administrative support structure that values teamwork, professional growth, and shared success.
• The stability, resources, and career opportunities of a nationally recognized academic health system.
