Hospital and customer solutions

• Act as the point of contact for hospitals on complaints and issues tied to deliveries, storeroom organization, and inventory management.
• Work with DC operations managers to find the root cause of customer issues and fix the process, not just the incident.
• Visit hospitals to review storeroom organization, inventory practices, and readiness for shipments. Give practical guidance to improve them.
• Build lasting relationships with hospital supply chain staff. Be the trusted resource they call first, and tell them early about changes that affect them.
• Feed what you learn from hospitals back into DC and program design, so new sites and automation fit what customers actually need.

Reporting and travel

• Keep accurate records of customer issues, resolutions, and program milestones. Build dashboards and reports that show trends and repeat problems.
• Report status to senior leadership. State the blocker, the options, and the ask.
• Travel approximately 50% to active sites and hospitals. Some time in manufacturing and logistics environments.
