Senior Supply Chain Manager Full Time NEW

Overview

We are seeking a high-impact, execution-focused Project Management leader to support a large-scale MedTech Supply Chain Digital transformation initiative. While the initial request is for a Project Manager, the scope, complexity, and expectations of the role require a more senior, Director-level operator who can function beyond traditional PM responsibilities.

This role is best suited for someone who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels, drive alignment across complex stakeholder environments, and take ownership of execution outcomes—not just coordination.

You will act as a force multiplier within the program, ensuring delivery stays on track by removing obstacles, driving decisions, and proactively addressing risks across cross-functional teams.

Position Summary

This role leads and supports delivery across transformational MedTech Supply Chain programs, operating as a hands-on execution leader and problem solver. The primary focus is to ensure forward momentum, resolve blockers, and enforce accountability across program workstreams.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, brings strong structured problem-solving skills, and has a bias for action. You will work closely with business, technology, and program leadership to translate complex challenges into actionable solutions that protect timelines and deliver measurable business value.
