Clinical Supply Chain Pillar Lead

ERP Forward Program

The Clinical Supply Chain Pillar Lead leads the health system's participation in the Procure-to-Pay and inventory management work of the ERP Forward program, with emphasis on hospital and clinical purchasing and inventory/PAR-level management. The role brings leading practices and guidance, facilitates design decisions, and brings recommendations to health system leadership, who make final decisions. Where functions are shared with the academic campuses, the role coordinates closely with the Procure-to-Pay Pillar Lead for academic and enterprise operations.
Key Responsibilities
* Team leadership: Lead and manage a team of approximately seven staff.
* Process ownership: Represent health system procurement, inventory, supplier management, contracting, and accounts payable operations, including PAR-level and point-of-use inventory, medical-surgical, implant, bill-only, and consignment purchasing, and value analysis.
* Recommendations and decisions: Bring leading practices (e.g., GPO contracting, clinical inventory optimization) and recommendations to health system leadership for decision, build consensus among hospital and clinical stakeholders, and document decisions and their rationale.
* Design and configuration: Review future-state processes and validate that configuration supports hospital operations, regulatory requirements, UDI traceability, and point-of-use, OR, and EHR touchpoints.
* Governance: Help define decision rights and escalation pathways with health system leadership and program governance, including items shared with the academic campuses.
* Master data and conversion: Lead readiness of item master, supplier, contract, and pricing data, and validate converted data through each mock conversion and at cutover, including alignment with EHR charge capture.
* Testing and go-live: Lead hospital participation in integration, end-to-end, and user acceptance testing, review security roles for hospital users, and lead readiness for cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
* Change and knowledge transfer: Champion process changes and adoption across hospital departments and clinical units, serve as the primary recipient of implementation knowledge transfer, and partner with other ERP workstreams.
As with all positions, involvement with other duties and responsibilities may be expected to support the mission and purpose of the University of Missouri System.
