Make a Difference

The Enterprise Program Manager - Design, Construction and Supply Chain serves as the primary Supply Chain integration point with Design, Construction and Facilities for major capital, facility and medical equipment initiatives. Embedded with Design, Construction and Facilities, the role participates throughout the project lifecycle to identify sourcing, contracting, supplier, equipment and standards requirements early and coordinate the appropriate Supply Chain resources before commitments are made.

The role supports the project team through a Supply Chain lens and does not own or make design, construction, project or contractor-selection decisions. Design, Construction and Facilities retains responsibility for those decisions and its established project processes.

Approximately 50% of the role is focused on participating in Design, Construction and Facilities project planning and coordination to identify sourcing, contracting, supplier and equipment needs. The remaining 50% is focused on Supply Chain activities, including supplier strategy, sourcing, contracting, GPO alignment, equipment standards, supplier performance and value realization.

The Program Manager works closely with project stakeholders, Strategic Sourcing, general contractors, architects, trade partners, equipment vendors and strategic suppliers to engage Supply Chain early, clarify responsibilities, identify appropriate contract pathways and help capture value before commitments are made.
