 JD: The Senior Supply Chain Consultant is a critical execution role within Optum’s Supply Chain Advisory Services practice. 
  • You will own end-to-end sourcing waves for healthcare clients — from opportunity identification and spend benchmarking through vendor negotiation, implementation, and validated savings capture. 
  • Working with guidance from a Manager or Director, you are expected to run your categories independently, engage directly with department heads and supply chain leadership, and deliver results that move the savings pipeline forward.
  This is not a support role — it is a category ownership role. 
  • You will apply structured sourcing methodology (strategic sourcing, should-cost modeling, total cost of ownership analysis, market basket benchmarking) to drive measurable cost reductions across clinical and non-clinical supply chain categories. 
  • You will manage your own workstreams, produce client-ready deliverables, and mentor Consultants and Analysts assigned to your categories. 
  • Candidates should be comfortable operating across a mix of category types and should bring real healthcare supply chain engagement experience. 
  • During the interview process, you will have the opportunity to discuss your category strengths and preferred operating areas.
  Required skills:
• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Healthcare Administration, Business, or related field.
• 4+ years of healthcare supply chain experience with direct involvement in sourcing, benchmarking, contracting, or cost reduction initiatives.
• 3+ years of experience executing end-to-end sourcing engagements — from opportunity identification through negotiation and savings validation.
• Demonstrated proficiency with structured sourcing methodology (strategic sourcing, should-cost modeling, total cost of ownership, market basket benchmarking).
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, INDEX/MATCH, data modeling) with the ability to work with large-scale AP and spend datasets.
• Ability to develop client-ready presentations and present complex financial analyses to department heads and supply chain leadership.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent sourcing categories with competing timelines.
• Comfortable navigating healthcare supply chain contracts, GPO pricing structures, and vendor dynamics.
• Willingness to travel approximately 25-50% depending on client engagement (typically 1 week per month on-site).

Desired skills:
• Experience with health system supply chain consulting (advisory, gainshare, or managed services engagements).
• Familiarity across both clinical (med/surg, surgical, PPI, lab) and non-clinical (purchased services, facilities, capital) categories.
• Experience with Value Analysis Committee processes, physician preference item reviews, and product standardization programs.
• Understanding of GPO contracting structures, tier compliance, committed volume programs, and regional purchasing coalition models.
• Experience with supply chain analytics platforms, ERP systems (Workday, Oracle, Infor), or BI tools (Tableau, Power BI).
• Lean/Six Sigma certification or process improvement methodology experience.
• Prior consulting experience at a healthcare advisory firm (e.g., Huron, Vizient, Premier, Deloitte, or similar).

Primary Responsibilities
End-to-End Sourcing & Savings Delivery
• Own assigned sourcing categories through the full sourcing lifecycle: opportunity identification, spend analysis, benchmarking, RFP/RFI execution, negotiation support, implementation, and savings validation.
• Apply structured sourcing methodology including strategic sourcing frameworks, should-cost modeling, total cost of ownership analysis, and market basket benchmarking to size and capture savings.
• Conduct detailed spend analysis, utilization benchmarking, and pricing comparisons using AP data, item masters, and contract databases.
• Develop sourcing recommendations supported by data-driven business cases, competitive bid analyses, and market intelligence.
• Lead or support vendor negotiations and contract structuring alongside Managers and Directors.
• Drive product standardization, SKU rationalization, and vendor consolidation initiatives across assigned categories.
• Track and validate savings through implementation, ensuring projected value is captured, documented, and reported accurately.
• Manage GPO contract compliance, tier optimization, and committed volume program analysis for assigned categories.

This is a remote position.
