Capex Equipment Buyer
The Strive Group 3.8
Remote hog buyer job
Before we opened Strive Pharmacy we were unsatisfied with the current state of the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the current pharmaceuticals only offer a one size fits all approach and often come with unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. We found that through compounding we can offer a much more personalized solution to medicine.
Through this we have been able to help patients get the results they are seeking for their personal needs. After years of working for corporate chains we took the risk and opened Strive Pharmacy. We are dedicated to providing a better experience for each customer and clinic that we work with. Come see the Strive difference.
Our Mission
We're flipping the script with personal medicine. We strive to interrupt an industry that has been closed to personalized care, accessibility, and nuance for too long. We strive to shift a reactive view of self-care and ignite a proactive baseline-shifting approach to health for all. ‘The human element' is our crux and catalyst, driving all that we do, whether we're interacting with patients, providers, or practices. We're here to partner with those ready for a change. More than a compounding pharmacy, we're on a mission to positively disrupt healthcare as we know it. Strive is about more than medicine. Strive is about striving for the personal side of healthcare.
Position Overview
The Capex Equipment Buyer is responsible for negotiating, purchasing, and coordinating delivery of capital equipment and automation for an 8-location, rapidly growing 503A pharmacy organization. This role begins after business and technical stakeholders define equipment requirements and preferred options; it does not own requirements gathering or technical evaluation of equipment capabilities. The Capex Equipment Buyer focuses on competitive sourcing, vendor management, contract and price negotiation, and ensuring timely, compliant implementation across all locations.
Location: Remote (US-Based)
Salary: $75,000 - $85,000
Key Responsibilities
Manage the end-to-end purchasing process for capital equipment and automation, once scope, specifications, and preferred solutions are defined by internal stakeholders.
Develop and issue RFQs/RFPs to qualified vendors based on approved requirements and equipment shortlists.
Lead commercial evaluation of vendor proposals (pricing, terms, warranties, service, delivery), escalating technical questions to the internal subject matter expert who owns requirements.
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, warranties, service/maintenance agreements, and other commercial terms to optimize total cost of ownership and support aggressive growth targets.
Create and manage purchase orders, track order status, and coordinate delivery, installation, and start-up timelines with Operations, Facilities, IT, and vendors.
Maintain an approved vendor list for major equipment categories (e.g., pharmacy automation, compounding hoods, refrigerators/freezers, monitoring systems, cleanroom and lab equipment).
Partner with Finance to align purchases with approved capital budgets, forecast cash flow, and support leadership reporting on capex commitments and spend.
Maintain organized records of quotes, contracts, POs, warranties, and service agreements to support audits and management review.
Monitor supplier performance related to on-time delivery, responsiveness, and adherence to agreed terms; escalate and assist in resolving issues.
Ensure all purchasing activity follows company policies and supports compliance with applicable pharmacy regulations and quality standards (503A, USP, state board requirements), as communicated by internal experts.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Finance, Healthcare Administration, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent relevant experience.
2-4 years of experience in purchasing, procurement, or supply chain; experience with capital equipment or healthcare/pharmacy/regulated environments strongly preferred.
Demonstrated experience negotiating contracts, pricing, and commercial terms for high-value purchases.
Strong understanding of basic financial concepts (capex vs. opex, ROI, total cost of ownership).
Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and deadlines across several locations in a fast-growth environment.
Excellent communication, relationship-building, and vendor management skills.
High attention to detail, strong organization, and comfort working within defined approval and compliance frameworks.
Reporting Structure
Reports to: Sourcing and Procurement Manager
Partners closely with: Automation/Equipment Lead (requirements owner), Pharmacy Operations, Facilities/Construction, IT, and Finance.
Performance Metrics (Examples)
Achieved cost savings and value improvements on capital purchases vs. initial proposals or budget.
On-time delivery and installation of equipment relative to project timelines and go-live dates.
Accuracy and completeness of purchasing documentation and records.
Vendor performance and relationship health (lead times, responsiveness, issue resolution).
Annual Salary$75,000-$85,000 USDBenefits/ Perks
Strive Pharmacy provides a comprehensive benefits package that encompasses various perks such as employer paid healthcare coverage available after 30 days of employment, the choice of an FSA/HSA, a voucher for new hire scrubs (if applicable), parental leave, a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, and the benefit of weekends and holidays off.

This can result in production risks, including but not limited to line shutdown, inadequate inventory, lost sales and project delays.
The Coordinator must possess analytical and problem‐solving skills and be able to make decisions quickly using sound judgment. The Coordinator demonstrates the ability to prioritize to enhance productivity and manage workload with minimal supervision. The Coordinator must understand inventory control and basic accounting principles. Because coordination is required among internal and external parties and often involves information of a confidential nature, excellent oral and written communication skills are required.
Role, Responsibilities, and Deliverables:
Approve invoices to be paid at or below $50 thousand per purchasing authority.
Communicate continuously with external partners (Suppliers, Third Party Manufacturers, Freight Carriers) and internal departments, including but not limited to (Mfg. Plants, R&D, Production Planning, Engineering, Package Development, Label Control, Plant QA, Supplier QA, Regulatory Affairs, Accounts Payable, Cost Accounting, Logistics, Contract Mfg., Marketing, Import/Export and IT) to assure materials are delivered on time, at the right price, to the correct location, and according to company specifications.
Create yearly blanket purchase orders for commodities supplied to company's domestic manufacturing plants and third‐party manufacturers.
Generate forecasts for commodities purchased for the US and/or global operations. Perform comparative analysis on forecasts, actuals and contracts for global purchases to provide timely and comprehensive information about inventory, contract balances, and production changes. Offer recommendations to management to move volumes and/or increase contracts to avoid supply issues. Escalate issues suppliers may have about the forecasts.
Ensure compliance to company policies and procedures and manage audit readiness metrics.
Act as the liaison between company and suppliers when deliveries are late or on hold. Coordinate necessary actions to ensure material delivery, including expediting delivery from alternate sources.
Verify that purchase order releases and requisitions reflect the proper price, based on current contracts. Incorrect pricing leads to late invoice payment, which affects supplier relationships, company's credit standing, and potentially future deliveries of materials.
When applicable, possess knowledge of external guidelines and various governmental agencies and processes. Utilize systems and resources to support clearance, delivery and compliance of international and domestic orders.
Partner with suppliers to alleviate chronic delivery or quality problems. Work with the Procurement Mangers, manufacturing plants, company's supplier QA, other internal departments and suppliers to identify and implement solutions.
Act as the liaison between Company Accounts Payable and suppliers on invoicing issues related to price invoiced and quantity delivered, and on receiving proper credit for returned materials.
Manage communication with US and Global suppliers related to commodity qualifications, supplier expectations (including delivery) and ongoing performance related to nonconforming materials and special projects.
Responsible for distribution of company policies related to key company initiatives and special informative letters as deemed by Corporate Policies, including department Supplier Diversity spend reporting and Supplier Risk.
Under the direction of the Procurement Managers, execute and finalize Confidential Disclosure Agreements using standard templates approved by the company's legal team. Monitor compliance to key supply agreement provisions and Maintain supplier Insurance Certificates as required by company policy.
