Job description

Step into a Purchasing/Procurement Manager role where your decisions directly shape the financial health of a fast-growing, multi-site medical organization. Our client is centralizing procurement from the ground up — and needs a proven procurement leader ready to take the reins. This is a rare shot to move beyond managing POs and into architecting the systems, vendor relationships, and data strategy that drive profitability across an entire network of practices.

Benefits & Extras:

• Direct-hire role with a growing, multi-site healthcare organization
• High-visibility seat reporting directly to the Director of Real Estate & Procurement
• Build a brand-new, organization-wide function from scratch — write the playbook, don’t just follow it
• Regular travel across the practice network, meeting the teams and vendors who keep the business running

Compensation:

$90,000–$105,000 base DOE with 10% annual bonus potential

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Analyze spend, usage, and market data across all locations to uncover savings opportunities
• Standardize purchasing workflows, approval hierarchies, and requisition processes org-wide
• Lead vendor selection, contract negotiations, and RFP/RFQ processes for best pricing and terms
• Own configuration and management of a centralized procure-to-pay (P2P) platform
• Build relationships with manufacturers, distributors, and GPOs
• Integrate new practices/acquisitions into centralized procurement
• Track and report cost savings, rebates, and contract compliance to leadership

What You’ll Need to be Considered

• Medical industry experience required
• Hands-on ownership of the entire purchasing process across multiple locations — not a delegate-and-oversee role
• Demonstrated success managing an e-procurement system across multiple sites
• Track record using data tools like Power BI to drive vendor negotiations and cost savings
• Comfortable traveling 25-40% (heavier early on) across the practice network
• Based in or willing to work onsite in Birmingham, AL, with remote Fridays
