Manager, Central Sterile Processing

Lead the Team Behind the Scenes That Powers the OR

Ready to take the lead in a high-impact, fast-paced environment? As the Manager of Central Sterile Processing, you'll play a vital role in ensuring surgical teams have exactly what they need-when they need it-while driving quality, efficiency, and team excellence.

Schedule

+ Evening or Night Shift

+ 5 (8-hour) shifts per week

+ Rotating weekend manager call

What You'll Do

You'll oversee all sterile processing operations while serving as a key partner to Surgical Services and clinical teams across the hospital.

Key Responsibilities:

+ Lead Daily Operations: Ensure efficient, high-quality sterile processing and supply workflows

+ Support Off-Shift Teams: Provide leadership and guidance to supervisors and staff during evenings, nights, and weekends

+ Partner with the OR: Act as a liaison between the OR, SPD, and other clinical departments to support instrumentation needs in real time

+ Maintain Throughput: Keep department operations running smoothly and efficiently to meet surgical demand

+ Drive Performance Improvement: Analyze data, identify trends, and implement process enhancements

+ Build & Develop Talent: Mentor, coach, and evaluate team members while fostering a positive, collaborative culture

+ Ensure Compliance & Quality: Maintain adherence to regulatory standards and best practices

+ Manage Budgets: Oversee operating and capital budgets, including forecasting and variance reporting

+ Optimize Instrumentation Processes: Support instrument tracking, standardization, and turnaround improvements

Why This Role Stands Out

+ Be a visible leader supporting both day-to-day operations and off-shift teams

+ Directly impact patient safety and surgical outcomes

+ Collaborate across departments and influence system-wide improvements

+ Shape team culture through mentorship and strong leadership
