About The Position

Instrumentum is hiring a Sterile Processing Manager for our Richmond, VA facility. Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner.

• Lead the Sterile Processing Department — Coordinators and Technicians across all shifts — and build a culture of safety and professionalism
• Ensure sterilized instrumentation is ready and accurate for every surgical schedule
• Keep the department survey-ready against AAMI, CDC, CMS, DNV, and Joint Commission standards
• Analyze production data — cycle times, on-time delivery, rework rates — and determine whether variation signals a process problem or a staffing/equipment constraint
• Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions when quality issues arise, and hold or halt production when instrument integrity or safety is at risk
• Coach and mentor Supervisors and Coordinators as their point of escalation for operational issues

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your start date
