Purchasing Manager

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.
