Informatics Pharmacist

Location: Pittsburgh, PA (Hybrid)

Classification: Exempt

Status: Full-Time

Purpose

The Informatics Pharmacist applies pharmacy expertise to technology analysis, system design, and requirements development within the Clinical Informatics track. This role is a senior individual contributor who bridges pharmacy practice and IT delivery: translating medication-related workflows, clinical rules, and pharmacy operational needs into structured, testable requirements, and ensuring that system configurations, integrations, and clinical data flows are safe, accurate, and grounded in pharmacy practice standards. The Informatics Pharmacist serves as the pharmacist-level clinical authority on assigned workstreams, providing the depth of medication and clinical practice knowledge that Clinical Informatics Analysts draw on across Informatics workstreams.

Responsibilities

Pharmacy Informatics & Requirements

• Analyzes pharmacy workflows, medication management processes, and clinical operational needs to develop structured technology requirements, including user stories and acceptance criteria that meet Informatics methodology standards.
• Applies clinical pharmacy judgment to requirements affecting medication data, dispensing workflows, clinical rules, prior authorization, and patient safety, ensuring system behavior reflects sound pharmacy practice.
• Conducts current-state and future-state workflow analysis for pharmacy and clinical systems, identifying gaps, risks, and design considerations before work enters delivery.
• Documents clinical requirements with sufficient precision for QA to execute acceptance criteria directly, in alignment with the Informatics-to-QA handoff standard.

System Design & Clinical Decision Support

• Provides pharmacist-level input on system configuration, integration design, and data flow decisions for pharmacy management systems, EHR interfaces, and clinical data feeds.
• Reviews and validates clinical logic embedded in systems, including drug data, dosing rules, interaction checking, and clinical decision support content, for accuracy and patient safety implications.
• Evaluates interoperability requirements for pharmacy and clinical systems, applying knowledge of NCPDP, HL7, and FHIR standards to ensure integration designs are clinically sound and technically executable.
• Participates in technical design reviews, contributing clinical pharmacy perspective on decisions that affect pharmacy operations, patient care workflows, or clinical data integrity.

Documentation & Standards

• Produces high-quality requirements documentation, workflow diagrams, and business process models that meet the Clinical Informatics track's methodology standards.
• Maintains and updates pharmacy and clinical system documentation, including integration specifications, configuration guides, and workflow maps, as systems evolve.
• Contributes to the development and refinement of Clinical Informatics standards, templates, and quality benchmarks in collaboration with the Informatics leadership.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partners with Business Analysts, Product Owners, and QA to ensure clinical requirements are accurate, complete, and directly usable in delivery and test execution.
• Serves as a pharmacist subject matter resource for Data & Analytics, IT Infrastructure, and AI teams on projects with medication data, clinical workflow, or patient safety implications.
• Provides informal clinical guidance to Clinical Informatics Analysts on pharmacy domain content, medication data standards, and clinically accurate documentation, without direct management responsibility.
• Participates in delivery planning ceremonies and stakeholder meetings as the clinical pharmacy voice for assigned workstreams.

Required Qualifications

• Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree and active, unrestricted pharmacist licensure.
• 5+ years of experience in pharmacy practice, pharmacy informatics, or clinical informatics, with demonstrated exposure to pharmacy technology systems and medication-related workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to translate clinical pharmacy knowledge into structured technology requirements, including acceptance criteria that engineering and QA teams can execute against.
• Deep familiarity with pharmacy operations and the systems that support them: pharmacy management systems, dispensing workflows, clinical data feeds, and medication data.
• Experience conducting workflow analysis and translating operational needs into precise, structured documentation.
• Strong written communication skills; able to produce clear, precise documentation for both clinical and technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in specialty pharmacy, rare disease, or high-complexity clinical environments.
• Board certification (BCPS, BCACP, or equivalent) or pharmacy informatics certification.
• Familiarity with interoperability standards: NCPDP, HL7 FHIR, and pharmacy-specific data exchange formats.
• Exposure to clinical decision support design, medication management systems, or prior authorization workflows.
• Familiarity with agile delivery practices and acceptance criteria standards sufficient to contribute directly to story-level requirements.
• Familiarity with ASTQB/ISTQB concepts sufficient to review acceptance criteria for clinical requirements.
