Capex Equipment Buyer
Strive Compounding Pharmacy
invites you to apply for the Capex Equipment Buyer role.
Company Overview Before we opened Strive Pharmacy, we were unsatisfied with the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. Most current pharmaceuticals offer a one‑size‑fits‑all approach and often come with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. Through compounding we can offer a much more personalized solution to medicine. We have helped patients achieve the results they need, and after years of working for corporate chains we took the risk and opened Strive Pharmacy, dedicated to providing a better experience for each customer and clinic.
Mission We’re flipping the script with personal medicine. Strive interrupts an industry closed to personalized care, accessibility, and nuance. We shift a reactive view of self‑care into a proactive, baseline‑shifting approach to health for all. The human element is our crux and catalyst, driving all that we do.
Position Overview The Capex Equipment Buyer negotiates, purchases, and coordinates delivery of capital equipment and automation for an 8‑location, rapidly growing 503A pharmacy organization. The role begins after stakeholders define equipment requirements; it does not own requirements gathering or technical evaluation.
Location:
Remote (US‑Based)
Salary:
$75,000 – $85,000
Key Responsibilities
Manage the end‑to‑end purchasing process for capital equipment and automation.
Develop and issue RFQs/RFPs to qualified vendors.
Lead commercial evaluation of vendor proposals, escalating technical questions to the internal subject matter expert.
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, warranties, service/maintenance agreements, and other commercial terms.
Create and manage purchase orders, track status, and coordinate delivery, installation, and start‑up timelines.
Maintain an approved vendor list for major equipment categories.
Partner with Finance to align purchases with approved capital budgets and forecast cash flow.
Maintain organized records of quotes, contracts, POs, warranties, and service agreements.
Monitor supplier performance related to on‑time delivery, responsiveness, and adherence to agreed terms.
Ensure all purchasing activity follows company policies and compliance with applicable pharmacy regulations and quality standards.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance, Healthcare Administration, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent experience.
2‑4 years of experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain; experience with capital equipment or healthcare/pharmacy environments preferred.
Demonstrated experience negotiating contracts, pricing, and commercial terms for high‑value purchases.
Strong understanding of basic financial concepts (capex vs. opex, ROI, total cost of ownership).
Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines across several locations.
Excellent communication, relationship‑building, and vendor management skills.
High attention to detail, strong organization, and comfort working within approval and compliance frameworks.
Reporting Structure
Reports to: Sourcing and Procurement Manager
Partners closely with: Automation/Equipment Lead, Pharmacy Operations, Facilities/Construction, IT, and Finance
Performance Metrics (Examples)
Achieved cost savings and value improvements on capital purchases vs. initial proposals or budget.
On‑time delivery and installation relative to project timelines and go‑live dates.
Accuracy and completeness of purchasing documentation and records.
Vendor performance and relationship health (lead times, responsiveness, issue resolution).
Benefits / Perks Strive Pharmacy provides a comprehensive benefits package that includes employer‑paid healthcare coverage available after 30 days, FSA/HSA choices, a voucher for new‑hire scrubs (if applicable), parental leave, a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, weekends and holidays off, and FREE compounded meds to employees and immediate family members.
