This role will embed sustainability principles into sourcing strategies, supplier relationships, and data frameworks — ensuring that HealthPRO Canada continues to deliver optimized value while advancing healthcare sustainability nationwide.
The successful candidate will report to the Senior Director, Strategic Sourcing and collaborate cross-functionally to enhance HealthPRO Canada’s Supplier Sustainability Scorecard (including Indigenous procurement indicators), design and promote sustainable contract packages, and quantify environmental impact and carbon footprint at a granular, line-item level. They will also lead Indigenous supplier relationships and enable members to support reconciliation objectives.
Responsibilities
1. Supplier Sustainability & Scorecard Development
- Enhance and operationalize HealthPRO Canada’s Supplier Sustainability Scorecard, aligning with recognized standards (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, ILO, GLW, UN SDGs).
- Collect, validate, and analyze supplier sustainability data, including metrics related to energy use, packaging, waste reduction, emissions intensity, labour practices, and public commitments to eliminate forced labour.
- Develop standardized reporting templates and performance dashboards for supplier benchmarking and member reporting.
- Partner with suppliers to co-create improvement plans, establish sustainability targets, and track measurable year-over-year progress.
- Expand Indigenous procurement criteria (supplier self-identification, certification, participation metrics).
2. Sustainable Product Strategy and Circular Procurement
- Identify and prioritize high-impact categories for sustainable and reusable product alternatives across clinical and non-clinical portfolios.
- Collaborate with category teams to embed sustainability and circular economy principles into sourcing criteria, RFP frameworks, and award recommendations.
- Develop curated “sustainable product packages” to simplify member adoption of lower-impact alternatives.
- Partner with Marketing and Member Success teams to produce educational materials, case studies, and success stories that demonstrate sustainability leadership.
3. Carbon Footprint and Environmental Impact Measurement
- Develop and maintain a methodology for calculating carbon footprint at the product, supplier, or SKU level.
- Partner with Data & Digital teams to integrate environmental impact metrics into HealthPRO analytics and reporting platforms.
- Translate complex data into actionable insights for sourcing decisions, member reporting, and public sustainability disclosures.
- Support supplier and member participation in carbon reduction initiatives, lifecycle assessments (LCAs), and low-emission product conversions.
4. Collaboration, Training & Advocacy
- Partner with internal sourcing leads, suppliers, and healthcare members to drive sustainability objectives across portfolios.
- Represent HealthPRO in national and international Indigenous procurement forums, sustainability forums, roundtables, and industry initiatives.
- Deliver training and advisory sessions to internal teams and members on sustainable procurement best practices and policy trends.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, sustainability, supply chain management, or a related field (master’s degree preferred).
- Experience working within a publicly funded procurement setting (e.g., public sector, healthcare, education, Crown agencies, or government-regulated procurement frameworks) with demonstrated understanding of BPS and/or PSPC guidelines.
- Minimum five years of experience in sustainability, ESG reporting, or environmental impact analysis — ideally within healthcare, manufacturing, or procurement sectors.
- Strong understanding of carbon accounting, lifecycle assessment (LCA), circular economy, and responsible sourcing principles.
- Advanced data analysis and reporting skills, with experience in sustainability metrics, dashboards, or business intelligence tools.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills — able to influence suppliers, present to healthcare leadership, and collaborate across internal teams.
- Familiarity with GS1/ECCnet data standards, Canadian healthcare procurement processes, and government sustainability frameworks (e.g., PSPC, BPS) is an asset.
