Capex Equipment Buyer
The Strive Group 3.8
Remote merchandise 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.

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.
