Design for Low-Touch, High-Scale Operations: Define product workflows optimized for near-zero human intervention, from prescription receipt through label generation, carrier selection, and shipment confirmation.
Collaborate with UX to ensure the product experience supports pharmacist oversight without burdening high-throughput operations.
Collaborate Across the VPL Product Organization: Work closely with peer Product Managers across VPL to ensure cohesion across the platform and avoid duplicated effort or conflicting experiences.

At VPL, we modernize pharmacy supply chains to support positive outcomes for patients.

Familiarity with robotic dispensing systems, pharmacy automation, or clinical supply chain workflows in central fill or specialty pharmacy environments.
