Procurement Manager Patient Care - Europe

Build, lead, and transform procurement where it directly impacts patient care.

Are you an experienced procurement leader who leads transformation?

At ForMotion, we are moving from a decentralized model—where 85 clinics manage suppliers independently—to a future-fit, global procurement function focused on the products that matter most: those used in patient care.

This is not a traditional procurement role. You will shape and lead an European function from the ground up, balancing cost, quality, and clinical needs in a regulated environment.

Where you will make an impact

Shape the Future of Clinics Procurement

• Define and lead the European procurement strategy for direct materials and finished goods

• Balance cost, quality, availability, and regulatory compliance

• Align sourcing across Europe while respecting local market dynamics

Build & Lead a Global Function

• Design and implement a centralized procurement model for Patient Care

• Build and develop a small, high-impact team (2 FTE currently, with growth potential)

Drive Change in a Decentralized Environment

• Transition clinics from local buying to structured, value-driven procurement

• Build trust with clinicians, operations, and business leaders

• Lead adoption of standard suppliers, contracts, and processes

Secure Supply & Strengthen Partnerships

• Establish strategic supplier frameworks for patient-critical products

• Ensure continuity of supply and mitigate risks

• Work closely with Quality, Regulatory, and Legal (EU MDR context)

Deliver Measurable Value

• Drive savings, standardization, and working capital improvements

• Provide clear performance insights to senior leadership

• Introduce best practices in category management and supplier management

What makes you a good fit

• Experienced procurement leader with proven impact in healthcare, med-tech, or regulated environments, with strong exposure to direct materials and finished goods.

• Proven track record in building or transforming procurement functions

• Strong people leader and change driver

• Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders across functions and geographies

• Commercially sharp, analytical, and structured in your approach

• Master’s degree (Business, Supply Chain, or similar); CIPS/MCIPS is a plus

Why this role is different

• Direct impact on patient care — what you source is what clinicians use daily

• True transformation role — not optimizing, but building and shaping

• High visibility — working closely with senior leadership and clinic networks

• European scope — across Europe in a regulated setting

What you can expect

• A high-impact leadership role with real ownership

• The opportunity to build a global function from scratch

• Strong exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making

• Strong professional growth and long‑term development opportunities.
