Remote Order Entry Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

PharMerica

PharMerica, a part of Brightspring Health Services, is a longterm care pharmacy services provider that supplies medications, clinical support, and pharmacy management to healthcare organizations across the United States.

We are a non-retail pharmacy that focuses on providing exceptional customer service and meeting the pharmacy needs for hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, long-term acute care centers, and other specialized care centers nationwide. Our organization is in high growth mode, which can provide opportunities for advancement for individuals looking for career progression!

The Business Analyst serves as the critical bridge between long-term care (LTC) pharmacy operations and our IT partners and technology vendors. This role is responsible for identifying, analyzing, and championing process improvement opportunities across pharmacy operations — including order entry, fulfillment, claims adjudication, billing, and clinical workflows — and translating those opportunities into clear, actionable business requirements, user stories, and functional specifications for technical delivery teams.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable on the pharmacy floor and in a sprint planning session: someone who can shadow a technician to map a workflow in the morning and write acceptance criteria for a developer in the afternoon. This person doesn't just document what the business asks for — they ask why, challenge assumptions, quantify the opportunity, and ensure the delivered solution actually solves the problem.

Schedule: Monday - Friday, hours per business needs
