Supply Chain Operations Manager

What is the Supply Chain Operations Manager role?

The Supply Chain Operations Manager runs the engine that gets the right clinical device to the right patient at the lowest sustainable cost, with every unit accounted for across its life. 

You will own the day-to-day supply chain: forecasting demand against enrollment, coordinating vendors and third-party logistics (3PL) partners, keeping inventory accurate to the unit, and driving the cleanup that turns an inherited complex device footprint into a simple, reliable operation. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable working in the weeds today and wants to grow as the function matures.

What you’ll be doing:

• Run day-to-day supply chain operations, including device purchasing, vendor management, invoice review, and order fulfillment, ensuring supplier performance, contract compliance, and uninterrupted device availability.
• Own inventory accuracy and device accountability across the full device lifecycle, including asset tracking, recovery efforts, and minimizing losses from damaged, lost, or unreturned devices.
• Own demand forecasting tied to enrollment growth, balancing inventory investment with service levels while minimizing stockouts and expedited shipping costs.
• Simplify and standardize the device portfolio by reducing unnecessary SKUs, optimizing bills of materials, and improving operational efficiency.
• Manage third-party logistics (3PL) and fulfillment partners across kitting, shipping, returns, and reverse logistics, establishing service level expectations and continuously improving operational performance.
• Define and own supply chain KPIs, including fill rate, inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, device recovery, and cost per unit, providing analysis and recommendations that drive operational improvements.
• Partner with Engineering and Operations to automate inventory, provisioning, fulfillment, and device lifecycle workflows, improving visibility and reducing manual effort.
• Manage supplier relationships, negotiate pricing where appropriate, and identify opportunities to reduce supply chain costs while maintaining quality and service levels.
