Job description

About Tri Imaging Solutions

Tri Imaging Solutions has merged with DirectMed Imaging, uniting two trusted names in the medical imaging industry under one organization. Tri Imaging Solutions is our go-forward brand, so the Tri Imaging Solutions name and logo now represent our combined company. You may have found this opening on DirectMed Imaging's careers page or LinkedIn - it is the same team, and your application goes to the same place.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered just north of Nashville in Madison, TN, Tri Imaging Solutions helps healthcare providers keep their diagnostic imaging systems running - supplying quality-tested replacement parts, equipment, and nationwide service across CT, MRI, mammography, X-ray, and more. We are also home to an industry-leading training center on a mission to empower the engineer, and we are ISO 13485:2016 certified.

About the Role

Tri-Imaging is seeking a Sourcing Manager, Diagnostic Imaging Equipment to acquire diagnostic imaging equipment, systems, subassemblies, and parts at the best overall value to the business.
This is a technical and analytical role-not an administrative purchasing position. The Sourcing Manager will evaluate diagnostic imaging equipment at both the system and component level to determine the most economical way to meet business demand.
The ideal candidate has strong technical knowledge of diagnostic imaging equipment and may not have previous purchasing or procurement experience. Tri-Imaging will provide training in sourcing processes, commercial practices, and decision-making methods, allowing a strong technical expert to develop their commercial skill set.

What You'll Do

• Source, evaluate, negotiate, and acquire diagnostic imaging equipment, subassemblies, and parts.
• Assess equipment configuration, condition, compatibility, component value, and total acquisition cost.
• Negotiate pricing, terms, logistics, and equipment configurations with suppliers and industry contacts.
• Determine when purchasing a complete system is more economical than purchasing individual parts, including evaluating residual value from usable components.
• Forecast equipment and component needs using historical demand, inventory levels, contractual commitments, and expected business activity.
• Anticipate future requirements based on equipment under contract and evolving customer demand.
• Review inventory to identify shortages, excess stock, slow-moving items, and supply risks.
• Monitor inventory turns and recommend purchasing, redeployment, harvesting, transfer, or disposition actions.
• Review third-party parts requests and determine whether needs can be fulfilled through existing inventory or a lower-cost alternative.
• Track sourcing results and identify opportunities to improve availability, cost, forecast accuracy, and inventory performance.
• Partner closely with Sales, Service, Operations, Inventory, Technical, and Finance teams.
• Create, review, and update work instructions and other quality-related documents.
• Follow established processes to ensure ISO 13485 compliance.

What You'll Bring

Required

• 5+ years of industry experience with diagnostic imaging equipment, systems, subassemblies, or parts.
• Strong understanding of equipment configurations, major assemblies, component relationships, and compatibility.
• Ability to evaluate both the technical suitability and commercial value of equipment.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, negotiation, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and make sound decisions with incomplete or changing information.
• Proficiency with spreadsheets and ability to learn inventory and business systems.
• Strong technical knowledge of diagnostic imaging equipment.

Nice to Have

• Bachelor's degree preferred; an equivalent combination of education and industry experience may be considered.
• Previous purchasing or procurement experience is helpful, but not required.
• Relevant experience may include diagnostic imaging field service, equipment refurbishment, technical support, equipment sales, parts operations, asset management, depot repair, or service operations.

The Ideal Candidate

• Is technically fluent in diagnostic imaging equipment.
• Looks beyond the immediate purchasing request to understand what the company already owns, what it will need, and what it can source most economically.
• Is analytical and detail-oriented while remaining decisive and comfortable acting on imperfect information.
• Is a strong negotiator and communicator who can build trust with suppliers and internal teams.
• Is curious, coachable, and eager to learn a new commercial discipline.
• Enjoys solving technical and commercial problems together.
