Pharmacy program coordinator - cellular and gene therapy - hybrid

When the work you do every single day has a crucial impact on the lives of others, every effort, every detail, and every second matters. This shared culture of passion and dedication pulses through Cedars-Sinai, and it’s just one of the many reasons it was recognized by U.S. News & World Report’s ‘Best Hospitals’ Honor Roll for the eleventh consecutive year and tied #1 in California & Los Angeles. Cedars-Sinai continues to be acknowledged as a world leader in patient care, education, and research.

Our 915-bed nonprofit, acute, tertiary, teaching Level I trauma center hospital is in the heart of Los Angeles. The Pharmacy Department has over 500 team members who are dedicated on providing both inpatient and outpatient pharmacy services, ensuring that patients receive high-quality care tailored to their needs.

Join Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at the forefront of one of the most transformative areas of medicine.

Working closely with physicians, pharmacists, laboratory and research teams, finance leaders, and other key stakeholders, you will help translate innovative therapies into accessible, efficient, and patient-centered care. As the CGT field continues to evolve, you will identify emerging opportunities, support strategic planning, and help shape the future of therapy delivery at Cedars-Sinai.
