Purchasing Manager

• Compensation: $70,000–$85,000 annually

• Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k)

• Location: Elmhurst, IL

LaSalle Network has an IMMEDIATE NEED for a  Purchasing Manager in Elmhurst, IL, to lead purchasing operations for a rapidly growing healthcare organization supporting eight warehouse locations. This Purchasing Manager role is mission-driven, analytical and highly visible, partnering directly with leadership to ensure critical medical equipment is available when patients need it most.

This is not transactional purchasing. The ideal Purchasing Manager understands the art and science of inventory strategy — balancing trends, rental turns, rebates and vendor negotiations to make smart, forward-thinking decisions. If you thrive in a fast-paced, data-driven environment and enjoy leading vendor strategy across multiple locations, this Purchasing Manager opportunity offers immediate impact and long-term growth.

What’s the job?

• Lead all purchasing operations across eight warehouse locations

• Manage and develop a team of two Purchasing Coordinators

• Oversee $5–6M in annual equipment purchases across 50–60 core SKUs

• Analyze weekly purchasing trends, returns and rental activity to make proactive inventory decisions

• Maintain vendor relationships with 5–10 primary vendors and 10–15 secondary partners

• Negotiate annual pricing agreements, rebates and volume incentives

• Monitor PAR levels and prevent stockouts while avoiding overbuying

• Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, warehouse and customer success teams

• Manage purchase orders, receiving records and asset tracking in ERP systems (NetSuite preferred)

• Support special equipment orders for hospice and SNF partners

• Lead product education initiatives internally

What’s needed?

• 5+ years of purchasing or supply chain experience

• Experience purchasing across multi-site operations

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret inventory trends

• Proven vendor negotiation and relationship management experience

• Supervisory experience or readiness to step into leadership

• ERP system experience (NetSuite, SAP or Oracle preferred)

• Intermediate Excel proficiency

• Healthcare or DME experience is a plus, not required

What’s in it for me?

• Competitive salary up to $85K

• Full benefits package

• Leadership visibility and decision-making autonomy

• Stable, growing healthcare organization

• Opportunity to step into a department leadership role

If you’re ready to step into a high-impact Purchasing Manager role where your analytical skills directly support patient care, we want to meet you. Apply today and help drive smart purchasing strategy for a growing, mission-focused organization.

Best,
Kati Martin
LaSalle Network
