We have grown significantly in recent years, both organically and through acquisition. We now employ over 2,300 people at 15 office locations and depots in Ireland, the UK, Europe and the United States, and intend to expand further into the global market.\nOperating a strong service-based culture and working closely with our partners, we provide an innovative range of services and integrated solutions based on our core capabilities. These services include product distribution, outsourcing and resourcing, multichannel account management, data analytics, market access and patient management solutions into the pharmaceutical and medical devices sectors. The business is divided into three trading divisions: Supply Chain & Retail Services, Product Access Services and Commercial & Clinical Services.\nSupply Chain Services provides both pre-wholesale and wholesale distribution of pharmaceutical, healthcare and animal health products to pharmacies, hospitals and veterinary surgeons in Ireland. The business supports a diverse customer base through the provision of strong service levels coupled with innovative commercial initiatives. In addition, the business provides services and supports that help independent community pharmacy to compete more effectively in an increasingly difficult environment and runs a network of Uniphar-owned pharmacies under the Life Allcare and Hickeys brands.\nOur Product Access Services businesses support healthcare professionals and their patients to access unlicensed or otherwise difficult to procure medicines. Within the division we now concentrate on two specific business areas: On Demand Access and Exclusive Access. Uniphar, through the PharmaSource, has had a lot of success in this area, thanks to our strong pharmacy relationships and our ability to access two million pharmaceutical products through 100 global suppliers.\nOur Commercial & Clinical division provide outsourced services, specifically sales, marketing and multichannel account management to pharmaco-medical manufacturers, and distribution and support services to medical device manufacturers. Uniphar offer a fully integrated multi-channel account management solution that is supported through market data, insights and digital programmes. We integrate these programmes with our supply chain and distribution capability to provide a full end to end service to manufacturers.\nThe three trading divisions work in synergy to allow us to support our healthcare professional and manufacturer customers to provide their patients and communities with the medicines and care that they need.\nPeople & Culture\nAt the core of Uniphar Group are its people and our employees are the driving force of the business. Uniphar is passionate about hiring and developing high-potential individuals and giving them fast track, long-term careers.\nThe company hires more than anything on cultural fit and potential to grow within the business. It is a fast-moving business in an industry that is going through a lot of change - this means our people must be adaptable, quick thinking and focused on results.\nIn order to succeed in Uniphar you will be smart, down to earth, highly commercial and driven. You will need to be flexible in how you think and a strong problem solver. We would hope that you would have a little bit of entrepreneurial flair and a nose for what is possible. You will also need to be a good leader, able to get the best from your own team and to work cross functionally and interact effectively with people at all levels of the business.\nPlease note that Uniphar is an equal-opportunity employer; we do not discriminate and welcome all responses.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7503,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-24T05:39:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:5","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/uniphar-pharmasource-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/uniphar-pharmasource-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T17:09:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5549,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4467547},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4467547"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Funiphar-pharmasource-technician"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Funiphar-pharmasource-technician"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Funiphar-pharmasource-technician"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/uniphar-pharmasource-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Funiphar-pharmasource-technician"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3197414}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"uniphar.ie","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3197414},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
