About the company You’ll join a high-growth medical device company with

Own purchasing and planning of components, raw materials, and services to support manufacturing, engineering, and clinical operations

Ensure supply continuity by managing supplier relationships, performance metrics, and risk mitigation

Translate demand forecasts and production schedules into accurate material sourcing plans

Negotiate pricing, lead times, contracts, discounts, and delivery terms to optimize cost, quality, and reliability

Maintain and improve planning data and processes within ERP/MRP systems

Partner cross-functionally (quality, regulatory, manufacturing, R&D) to align on product launches, change control, and compliance

Monitor key metrics (inventory turns, supplier scorecards, cost variance, shortage risks) and drive continuous improvements

Participate in supply chain initiatives — e.g. new supplier development, lean practices, demand planning enhancements

What we’re looking for

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience)

5+ years

of hands-on experience in procurement, material planning, or supply chain in a manufacturing environment

Fluency with MRP/ERP systems; familiarity with planning modules, purchase order flows, and reporting

Strong negotiation, problem-solving, and communication skillsResults-driven, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple priorities

Experience dealing with dynamic, fast-paced environments, with shifting priorities

Bonus / nice-to-haves

Experience working in the medical device, biotech, or regulated manufacturing industry

Familiarity with FDA, ISO, or QMS-driven environments

Experience using QAD or similar ERP platforms

Track record of improving supplier performance, cost savings, or process optimization

Why this role stands out

You’ll be working in a company that already

has FDA clearance , advancing from development to commercial scale

You’ll directly shape supply chain strategy in a regulated environment — it’s not just “buy and deliver,” it’s a mission-critical operation

You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with high-impact teams (R&D, quality, regulatory, operations)

You’ll have autonomy and opportunity to drive process improvements and scale systems

It’s a chance to build experience in medtech / highly regulated manufacturing — a rare credential

If you have strong supply chain acumen, enjoy operating in high-stakes environments, and want a role where your contributions matter, let’s talk.
