• Run tenders/e-auctions where appropriate; ensure competitive parity, transparent processes, and audit readiness.

• Coordinate cross-functionally for site readiness, installation, commissioning, validation, and handover.
• Align with Finance for GRN, asset tagging, FA register, capitalization timelines, and CWIP closure.
• Monitor project milestones; escalate risks; ensure OTIF (On-Time In-Full) delivery against project schedules.
• Data, Digital & Process Excellence
• Leverage SAP MM/Ariba/SRM/e-Procurement modules for requisitions, approvals, POing, and contract management.
• Track CAPEX KPIs via dashboards; drive process simplification, SOP updates, and automation.
• Maintain vendor scorecards and post-implementation reviews (clinical outcomes, uptime, TCO vs. baseline).
• Leadership & Stakeholder Management
• Lead a team of buyers/category leads; mentor for capability building in healthcare CAPEX sourcing.
• Partner with Clinical Chairs, Nursing, Quality, Projects, Biomedical Engineering, IT, Legal, and Finance.
