Job Description

Medical Device Start-up

Location

Glasgow/Edinburgh (Hybrid role)

We have an exciting new role within our company as a Supply Chain Lead. As part of this role you will play a critical role in delivering a brand new product through manufacturing and into the market . You will be responsible for implementing, optimizing, and scaling our supply chain, ensuring high quality, compliance and efficiency at every stage. The successful candidate will work closely with design engineers, quality assurance, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to bring our products to life--and into the hands of care professionals and patients.

Who are we?

Silver Lion Innovations is a startup medical device company which exists to transform the lives of people facing immobility across multiple health conditions and the people involved in their care. We've seen this first-hand as our first product is inspired by a close family member of the founder who has Parkinson's. Healthcare systems globally need innovative technologies created by people using them so that they can continue the care for the growing number of those requiring it.

At Silver Lion Innovations, we have reimagined a key care service with a game changing new technology and we need excellent, stand out people on board to deliver the first in a range of products.

Position Overview

It is an exciting time to come and work with us, taking the mature design of our cutting edge medical device and managing the setup of a scalable supply chain through to a delivered product. This will involve liaising with our engineering, software and compliance teams as well as establishing and maintaining relationships with suppliers to create a stable supply chain. Additionally, you will develop an in-depth knowledge of the product to oversee a successful launch and ongoing service of products in the field.

Perhaps most importantly, it will change the lives of people who suffer with lifelong health conditions. Chances are, you know someone who would benefit from the product.
