Job description
Senior Sterile Compounding Pharmacist
503A Operations, Quality & Expansion
Location: Greater St. Louis / St. Charles County, Missouri
Employment Type: Full-Time, On-Site
Compensation: $200,000+ Base Salary, Performance Bonus, and Long-Term Profit-Sharing Opportunity
Help Build a High-Quality 503A Sterile Compounding Pharmacy
BrightMeds is seeking an experienced sterile compounding pharmacist to help launch and scale a new 503A pharmacy in the Greater St. Louis area.
You do not need to have previously served as a Pharmacist-in-Charge or personally opened a sterile pharmacy. You do need meaningful, hands-on experience working in a 503A sterile compounding environment and a strong understanding of what safe, compliant, and efficient sterile operations should look like.
You will work closely with BrightMeds' founders, designated Pharmacist-in-Charge, pharmacy consultants, technology team, and other pharmacy personnel to develop the systems, workflows, quality standards, and team needed to serve patients responsibly.
Why BrightMeds
BrightMeds is an established and growing telehealth company with:
Existing patient demand and an active physician network
Capital committed to launching the pharmacy
Technology, operations, and customer-support teams already in place
Two experienced pharmacy consultants supporting the project
Multiple potential pharmacy locations and cleanroom partners under evaluation
Founders who are directly involved and able to make decisions quickly
You will join early enough to influence important decisions, but you will not be expected to build the pharmacy alone.
Our operating philosophy is straightforward:
Move quickly. Build correctly. Never compromise patient safety or quality.
What You Will Do
Sterile Compounding and Quality Help establish safe and compliant sterile compounding operations under USP and applicable USP requirements
Develop, review, and improve standard operating procedures, batch records, training materials, and quality documentation

Support the development of staffing, inventory, purchasing, production, and capacity plans
Help recruit, train, and develop pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
Participate in a controlled, quality-led production launch
Identify production bottlenecks and improve efficiency without compromising quality
Help establish meaningful quality, production, staffing, and operational metrics
Work with BrightMeds' technology team to improve pharmacy software, automation, documentation, and reporting
Help build repeatable systems that can support future pharmacy locations
Licensing and Regulatory Expansion
Work with the PIC, consultants, legal counsel, and company leadership on Missouri pharmacy licensing and inspection readiness
Support nonresident pharmacy applications, renewals, documentation, and state-specific compliance requirements
Help organize licensing records, policies, inspection materials, and regulatory correspondence
Monitor regulatory changes and assist with implementing required operational updates

The Person We Are Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you: Understand how a well-run 503A sterile pharmacy should operate
Take patient safety, documentation, and regulatory compliance seriously
Notice problems that others miss
Follow through without needing constant supervision
Can explain quality or operational concerns clearly and directly
Enjoy improving systems and making complicated processes more reliable
Work well with pharmacists, technicians, consultants, technology teams, and company leadership
Are willing to respectfully challenge a decision when quality, compliance, or patient safety is at risk
Want greater responsibility and influence than you may have in a traditional sterile pharmacist role
We are not looking for someone who is learning sterile compounding for the first time. We are looking for someone who has worked inside a 503A sterile operation and can help us build one correctly.
First-Year Priorities
During your first year, you will help: Finalize sterile workflows, equipment, documentation, and operating procedures
Establish the pharmacy's SOP and Quality Management System infrastructure
Prepare the pharmacy and team for licensing, inspections, and launch
Recruit and qualify the initial sterile compounding team
