Are you a seasoned procurement professional looking to make a real impact in a high-growth, regulated medical device environment? SunTech Medical, Inc. is seeking a Senior Buyer to own global product lines and supplier relationships while driving both strategic initiatives and hands-on execution.


This role is a strategic and hands-on position that blends commercial leadership, regulatory discipline, operation execution, and cross-functional influence. You’ll combine strategic thinking with day-to-day execution, managing supply continuity, global logistics, and regulatory compliance, while also performing manual updates, report tracking, and follow-up where systems are not fully automated. If you enjoy solving complex supply chain challenges and collaborating across functions, this role is for you.

  • Drive process improvements, SOP updates, and item master governance, ensuring data integrity and compliance.
  • Collaborate with Product Mangers regarding End-of-Life (EOL) product planning to ensure smooth product transitions.
  • Build Supply Chain visibility and insights using Excel (PivotTables, VLOOKUP, formulas) and Power BI.
  • Play a key role in audit readiness, maintaining quality-first documentation.
  • Manage manual reporting, dashboards, data updates, and follow-up, including coordination with contract suppliers (e.g., PCBA manufacturers), while navigating evolving processes across departments
  • It is not just limited to this job description as procurement is an ever-changing role and requires the team to pivot as needed or requested


Qualifications

  • 7 years of progressive procurement experience in manufacturing; medical device experience is preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Logistics or Industrial Engineering
  • Comfortable owning strategic or high-risk supplies (contract manufacturers, PCBA, critical component suppliers) and skilled at managing escalation paths for supply disruptions
  • Global supply chain experience, including international logistics and customs (to include Tariffs/HTS Codes)
  • Experienced in supplier negotiations, cost reduction initiatives, and risk mitigation
  • Familiar with regulatory compliance (FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, MDSAP)
  • Capable of maintaining accurate reporting, data updates, and follow-up in situations where other departments may be working toward fully standardized processes
  • Have a strong cross-functional business acumen and understanding of how all departments work together within the organization
  • Analytical, proactive, and persistent with a solutions-oriented mindset
  • Collaborate with Engineering, QA and R&D during new product development to lead supply readiness for NPIs or product changes
  • Oversee Excess & Obsolete (E&O) inventory, driving strategies to reduce waste, optimize working capital, and coordinate disposition with cross-functional teams
