## Job description

## ABOUT MEDICIRCLE

MediCircle is building the national infrastructure to make prescription drugs affordable. Today, billions of dollars of perfectly usable medications go unused, while patients are forced to skip or abandon life-saving treatments due to cost. We exist to change that.

MediCircle reclaims unused medications, recertifies their quality using our patented process, and redistributes them through our licensed pharmacy. In doing so, we provide patients with medications at zero out-of-pocket cost, while generating savings for our payer, plan sponsor, and value-based care clients.

We are a VC-backed, early-stage healthcare technology company with a proven model and accelerating growth:

- $45M+ in medications reclaimed to date
- Active partnerships with market-leading customers, including national VBCs, PBMs, and regional health systems.
- Rapidly expanding demand across enterprise and government channels

If our mission resonates with you, you are interested in joining a high-growth healthcare company, and you are energized by directly impacting the lives of millions of patients who can no longer access or afford their medications, we would love to hear from you.

## ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Pharmacy Technician at MediCircle, you will be responsible for ensuring that MediCircle provides best-in-class customer service to our patients and partners. You will assist our Pharmacist in Charge with pharmacy management, preparation of outgoing drug donation kits, inventory management, medication fulfillment, medication disposal, and other tasks as assigned. You will gain meaningful exposure to building and scaling a novel pharmacy operation, with the opportunity to grow alongside the business. This is a high-impact patient-facing role that is integral to MediCircle’s growth and success.

## ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

- Checking in and verifying new medications from donors with accuracy and care
- Ensuring timely drop-off of outgoing drug donation kits to courier
- Managing and optimizing the drug donation process, with a focus on driving growth
- Communicating via phone, text, and email with patients, providers, and pharmacists to resolve any issues and provide prescription updates while adhering to HIPAA regulations and company policies – you will be the friendly voice patients hear when they need updates or reassurance
- Working closely with cross-functional teams and external partners to drive customer satisfaction and ensure a seamless experience for patients and providers
- Identifying and supporting the implementation of new processes, tools, and policies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of pharmacy operations and workflows

## REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Education: high school diploma or equivalent diploma (e.g., GED)
- Certification: Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT) credential in good standing; active registration with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy (TSBP)
- Experience: 2+ years as a Pharmacy Technician
- Familiar with industry-specific terminology (NDC codes, SIG codes, both brand and generic names of medications, etc)
- Aptitude to learn and navigate computer systems and applications that may be new to you
- Location: this role is on-site at our pharmacy in Sugar Land, Texas – please apply only if you live within driving distance
- Availability: full-time availability required; operating hours are 9am to 5pm CST Monday - Friday
- You take pride in your work, care deeply about patients, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to make things better, no matter how big or small the task
- You must be willing (and excited) to work in a fast-paced, flexible, startup environment – we’re looking for candidates who are adaptable and energized by building something new

## PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience in pharmacy operations, fulfillment, or closed-door pharmacy settings
- Familiarity with inventory-heavy or redistribution-focused pharmacy models
- Experience working in early-stage startup, high-growth, or process-evolving environments
- Comfort with technology-enabled pharmacy workflows and digital documentation systems

- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)

- **Founders**: Jack Schaeffer (CEO & Co-Founder) and Eliza Sternlicht (COO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Healthcare (medication redistribution, health equity)
- **Target customers**: B2B (health plans, hospitals, pharmacies) and B2C (financially burdened cancer patients)
- **Mission**: To leverage financial waste in the healthcare system to address disparities in cancer care by repurposing leftover cancer prescriptions.

## Products & Services
- **Medication Redistribution Platform**: A service that sources unused, unexpired chemotherapy pills (worth ~$10,000/month on average) that are otherwise incinerated annually ($3 billion worth), recertifies them for safety and potency, and distributes them to patients who cannot afford their medications. The platform uses advanced software to track each donation’s supply chain history and chemical analysis.
- **Donation Portal**: A free, easy-to-use platform for patients and healthcare providers to donate unused medications, and for patients in need to request them.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Total Funding**: $120K (Seed round, last raised ~2 years ago as of 2026)
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue not disclosed; total funding of $120K raised.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Techstars Healthcare, MassChallenge, Trog Hawley Capital, Open Venture Capital. Non-equity assistance from MassChallenge (2021).
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Obtained full regulatory approval to receive unused medications from all 50 states (as of May 2022).
  - Hired a Director of Medication Donation Growth in April 2026, indicating scaling of donation operations.
  - Filed 2 patents related to medication redistribution systems (2022-2026).
  - Headcount grew 20% YoY, now at 4 employees (as of 2026).
  - Featured in Boston Globe Media’s “Innovators to Watch” (2022) and Brown Alumni Magazine.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Regulatory Moat**: Full regulatory approval to operate in all 50 states for receiving unused medications, a significant barrier to entry.
- **Proprietary Technology**: Advanced software for tracking supply chain history, potency, and purity of each donation, plus two filed patents.
- **Unique Value Proposition**: Addresses a massive, untapped waste stream ($3 billion in incinerated chemotherapy annually) while solving a critical access problem (63% of cancer patients cite cost as a barrier).
- **Social Impact Focus**: Directly ties financial waste reduction to patient equity, creating strong brand and mission alignment.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling Donation Growth**: Actively hiring a Director of Medication Donation Growth to build and scale the donation pipeline across the country (April 2026).
- **Expanding Distribution**: Growing partnerships with health plans, hospitals, and pharmacies to increase patient reach.
- **Technology Development**: Continued investment in software for medication tracking, patent portfolio, and potential AI-driven matching (patents reference classification algorithms and artificial neural networks).

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: Directly addresses a critical healthcare equity issue—reducing financial barriers for cancer patients while cutting pharmaceutical waste.
- **Early-Stage Impact**: As a small team (4 employees), new hires will have outsized ownership and influence over the company’s direction and growth.
- **Hybrid Work**: Roles (e.g., Lead Software Engineer, Head of Growth/Partnerships) are listed as hybrid, with physical offices in Houston, Texas, and New York, NY.
- **Culture**: Focus on innovation and social impact; team members come from backgrounds at Google, Brown University, and healthcare organizations.
- **Growth Trajectory**: At an inflection point with regulatory approval across all 50 states and active hiring for senior roles, offering potential for rapid professional growth.
