Job Description

Fagron Sterile Services is a specialized pharmaceutical manufacturing company that focuses on providing sterile compounding solutions and services to healthcare providers and pharmacies. Dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory compliance, Fagron Sterile Services operates within a heavily regulated industry that demands meticulous attention to detail, especially in the handling and management of controlled substances. The company prides itself on fostering a culture of safety, security, and compliance, ensuring that all aspects of its manufacturing and operational processes align strictly with regulatory requirements such as those set forth by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP) principles. Their commitment to excellence and continual improvement has established them as a trusted partner within the pharmaceutical supply chain.

The role of Controlled Substance Compliance Associate at Fagron Sterile Services is a vital position dedicated to supporting the company’s DEA compliance profile. This full-time role is centered on ensuring the accurate and consistent execution of all logistics associated with controlled materials, including raw materials and finished products. The associate acts as the primary entity responsible for managing the daily activities involving controlled substances within the organization. Key responsibilities include the coordination of inventory reconciliations, sample inspections and transfers, verification and labeling of materials, as well as the correct disposal of expired or unusable products. This position requires rigorous documentation and record-keeping to maintain alignment between electronic inventory systems and official paper records.

Beyond transactional duties, the Controlled Substance Compliance Associate serves as a critical liaison to other functional areas within Fagron Sterile Services, promoting a culture of DEA awareness and compliance company-wide. The role supports aseptic compounding and filling teams throughout the manufacturing process by handling check-in/check-out procedures, tracking batch release statuses, and facilitating communication across operations, post-production, and lab teams to ensure smooth coordination of activities related to controlled substances. This position demands a proactive, detail-oriented individual with exceptional time-management skills and the ability to independently manage complex, concurrent tasks. The associate will also assist compliance management with preparing and submitting regulatory reports, further ensuring that Fagron Sterile Services remains compliant with federal and industry regulations.

Overall, this role is suited for candidates who possess a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, possess the ability to manage sensitive and critical materials securely, and have the communication skills to effectively interact with various stakeholders. Familiarity with ERP systems and experience in a regulated manufacturing environment is highly desirable, although willingness to learn is equally valued. Joining Fagron Sterile Services as a Controlled Substance Compliance Associate means contributing to a safety-focused culture that upholds both company standards and regulatory mandates in every aspect of its operations.
