Confidence managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and experience with an ERP or procurement platform such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, or a similar system. A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and a desire to improve how work gets done. Preferred Experience Procurement experience within healthcare or another highly regulated industry. Experience purchasing pharmaceuticals, radiopharmaceuticals, medical equipment, or diagnostic imaging supplies. Familiarity with group purchasing organizations and vendor contracting programs. Experience with inventory management systems. Understanding of FDA, OSHA, HIPAA, and other healthcare compliance requirements. Why Join Us?
