About this role

A pharmacist position in the drug and cosmetics sections of Ito-Yokado stores in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama; the assigned store takes the applicant's preference into account.

The main work is counselling-based sales of over-the-counter medicines, health foods and cosmetics. Step by step the pharmacist also takes on what it takes to run the section: ordering and purchasing, inventory control, building the sales floor and other management tasks. The stated career path runs from OTC pharmacist to managing pharmacist (管理薬剤師), deputy store manager and store manager, supported by a mentor system, with openings in head-office functions such as training and merchandising. Current colleagues come from drugstores, dispensing pharmacies, hospitals and manufacturers.

A pharmacist licence is required; previous OTC sales experience is not.
