Shape Safer Surgery as a Perioperative Clinical Technology Liaison
Join STERIS, where we partner with healthcare teams to advance safety and performance across operating rooms and sterile processing. In this on-site role, you are the trusted face of STERIS within your hospital accounts—bridging clinical practice with technical know‑how to keep surgical services running smoothly.
A day in the life
Your morning begins in Sterile Processing, reviewing equipment status and yesterday’s metrics. A call comes from the OR: a surgical video tower needs attention before first case. You triage at the room, resolve the issue, confirm room readiness, and capture details in Connect Care. Midday, you facilitate a non‑credentialed in‑service for new SPD staff on instrumentation handling and IFUs. In the afternoon, you coordinate an off‑site instrument repair with STERIS/IMS, log preventive maintenance completions, and meet with Infection Prevention and Biomed to review KPI trends and LEAN opportunities.
What you’ll own
- Be the primary on-site liaison for STERIS across OR and SPD—fielding requests, coordinating installations and service events, tracking assets, and answering product questions.
- Deliver post‑install and go‑live support for OR, SPD, and GI portfolios; verify room readiness and provide operator-level maintenance for STERIS capital equipment and surgical video systems.
- Perform device PMIs and basic troubleshooting to maximize uptime; identify when to repair, replace, or escalate, and coordinate instrument and off‑site repairs with STERIS/IMS service teams.
- Manage contract scope: maintain inventories, service records, tray tracking, SOP adherence, equipment requests, and consistent daily/weekly/monthly reports.
- Analyze KPIs and operational data to uncover trends; drive LEAN process improvements that boost workflow efficiency, utilization, and device care practices.
- Lead non‑credentialed trainings, team huddles, and staff meetings; communicate equipment status and updates clearly across shifts.
- Build strong relationships with OR staff, SPD, Biomed, GI, Infection Prevention, Risk Management, nursing, and surgeons; serve as a clinical and technical advocate for STERIS.
- Align customer needs with STERIS solutions—capital, consumables, accessories, chemistries, consulting, and services—to support clinical outcomes.
- Ensure compliance with Department of Health, Joint Commission, OSHA, CDC, AAMI, and AORN standards; follow OEM IFUs and both STERIS and facility policies.
- Support contract deliverables and special projects in OR and SPD; provide cross‑functional support and adapt to site‑specific requirements.
Who you are
- High school diploma/GED and 6+ years relevant experience, including 3+ years in a hospital/clinical environment (OR, SPD, hospital operations, or medical device). Associate’s degree or 2‑year technical training strongly preferred.
- Certifications preferred: CCSV P, CRCST, Scrub Tech, Biomed, Equipment Repair; equivalent military medical experience may apply. Ability to obtain a certification within 12 months preferred.
- Hands‑on clinical/IT/technical hospital experience with deep knowledge of OR and sterile processing workflows, medical terminology, instrumentation/devices, infection control, and regulatory bodies (TJC, AORN, AAMI).
- Working knowledge of STERIS products, equipment, software, and clinical application services; capable of basic PM and repairs and of positioning solutions effectively.
- Proven relationship builder across OR, SPD, GI, Biomed, Infection Prevention, Risk Management, nursing, and surgeons; comfortable leading in‑services.
- Disciplined documentation skills and consistent reporting cadence (daily/weekly/monthly). Familiarity with Tableau or similar tools preferred; Lean Six Sigma a plus.
- Customer‑centric, organized, and calm under pressure; strong problem‑solving and decision‑making with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
