Develop RFQs and RFPs, evaluate proposals, support awards, negotiate commercial terms, and finalize contracts.

Support capital projects and cross-functional initiatives requiring procurement expertise.

Track procurement performance, monitor budget activity, and lead measurable savings and efficiency improvements.

Provide procurement guidance to stakeholders at remote company locations.

Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of progressive purchasing/procurement experience.

2+ years of direct people-management or supervisory experience.

Strong RFQ/RFP, supplier-selection, negotiation, contract, and indirect-spend experience.

Familiarity with GMP/cGMP expectations and controlled processes.

Demonstrated SOP or procurement-policy writing experience.

ERP proficiency and availability for a minimum four-day onsite schedule.

Preferred Qualifications

Procurement or strategic sourcing experience in pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, or biotechnology preferred. Cell-therapy, medical-device, or CDMO backgrounds are also relevant.

Experience supporting capital purchasing and vendor-managed inventory.

Track record of documented savings and supplier-performance improvement.

Why This Opportunity

Autonomy to improve procurement processes and supplier strategy.

Leadership responsibility with meaningful cross-functional exposure.

Stable commercial-stage life-sciences platform with a patient-first mission.
