Job Description

Why This Role

• Lead a portfolio of ~8 multi-site operations, each tailored to a specific health system

• Play a visible, customer-facing role, partnering directly with hospital system supply chain leaders

• Opportunity to scale the network, drive consistency, and build long-term strategic partnerships

• Own a mix of stable, high-performing sites and newer operations where you will build structure and routines

Scope & Impact

• Oversight of multiple smaller to midsize, complex distribution facilities 

• Each location is typically dedicated to a specific health system with unique service requirements

• Sites may include automation (e.g., pick modules, conveyor systems), but designs vary

• Lead a team of Directors of Operations (each site led locally)

• Travel ~50–75% across the network

• Flexible location (not required to be based at corporate HQ)

What You’ll Do

• Lead operational performance across all sites, ensuring delivery against service, cost, and quality KPIs

• Build consistency and standard operating rhythms across highly customized operations

• Partner directly with customers on service design, issue resolution, and long-term planning

• Support new customer implementations and expansion efforts in partnership with Sales

• Drive continuous improvement and scalability across the network

• Develop and coach site leaders, building strong, accountable leadership teams

• Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards

• Oversee capital planning and infrastructure needs across locations

What You Bring

• 10+ years of leadership experience in distribution, logistics, or supply chain operations

• Experience leading multi-site operations through senior leaders (Director level and above)

• Strong track record in customer-facing operations and complex service environments

• Ability to operate in a matrixed, highly customized business model

Critical Experience (Highly Valued)

• Experience in healthcare supply chain OR supporting hospital/health system operations

• Ability to engage credibly with hospital supply chain leadership (not just traditional distribution experience)

• Experience operating in customized or contract-based logistics environments

Preferred

• Experience integrating or operating across different WMS platforms and operating models

• Exposure to automation or engineered warehouse environments
