Procurement Manager

Procurement Manager

Irving, TX  |  Hybrid (3 Days In-Office, 2 Days Remote)  |  Full-Time  |  Compensation: DOE

Five Point Dental Specialists partners with specialty dental practices across multiple states. Our model is doctor-led, which means the clinicians drive clinical decisions while our corporate team handles the operational infrastructure that keeps practices running well. Procurement is a core part of that infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Procurement Manager to own purchasing, vendor relationships, cost reduction, and supply coordination across our multi-location, multi-state network. This is a hands-on role that requires someone comfortable working across many locations, building vendor trust, and keeping costs in check without disrupting operations or doctor relationships.

You’ll work closely with operations, finance, and practice leadership. Because our practices are doctor-led, you’ll need strong interpersonal skills and the ability to earn buy-in at the practice level, not just execute top-down.

Cost Reduction & Strategic Sourcing

• Lead cost reduction initiatives across all spend categories, including supplies, equipment, and operational goods.
• Benchmark current vendor pricing against market rates and identify gaps and savings opportunities.
• Conduct competitive bids and RFP processes for major spend categories and equipment purchases.
• Develop and maintain a savings tracker to document and report achieved cost reductions.
• Challenge legacy purchasing habits and propose alternatives that deliver equal or better quality at lower cost.

Vendor Relationship Management

• Build and maintain strong, mutually beneficial relationships with dental supply vendors, equipment distributors, and service providers.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for vendor escalations, contract discussions, and performance concerns.
• Negotiate pricing, volume discounts, contract terms, and service agreements that favor Five Point.
• Evaluate vendor performance on delivery reliability, pricing competitiveness, and service quality.
• Identify and onboard new vendors where existing suppliers are underperforming or overpriced.

Purchasing Operations & Coordination

• Manage procurement activities across all practice locations and corporate operations.
• Coordinate supply, equipment, and operational purchasing needs across multiple locations and specialties.
• Review and approve purchase orders, invoices, and procurement documentation.
• Resolve shortages, delivery delays, backorders, and vendor disputes promptly.
• Partner with operations, finance, and practice leadership to forecast purchasing needs and manage budgets.

Reporting & Process Improvement

• Maintain procurement reports, spend data, and purchasing records with accuracy and consistency.
• Analyze purchasing data to surface trends, inefficiencies, and cost-saving opportunities.
• Develop and refine procurement processes and documentation to support organizational growth.
• Confirm all purchasing activity aligns with company procedures and financial controls.

• Proven experience in procurement, purchasing, vendor management, or supply chain.
• Strong negotiation skills and the ability to build lasting vendor relationships.
• Budget management and cost analysis experience.
• Proficiency in Excel and strong organizational habits.
• Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple locations.
• Clear communication and sound judgment when resolving problems.
• Comfort working in a decentralized, practice-led environment.

Preferred

• Multi-location or multi-state procurement experience.
• Dental or healthcare procurement background.
• Contract negotiation and inventory coordination experience.
• Experience with Dentira is a plus.

Five Point Dental Specialists is an equal opportunity employer.
