About the job

Field Account Specialist – Sterile Processing Focus (Daytime Shift)

Transform How Healthcare Runs Behind the Scenes

Are you an experienced Sterile Processing or OR professional ready to take your expertise beyond the department? This field-based, clinical-facing role allows you to directly influence hospital efficiency, tray readiness, and OR performance.

We’re seeking a Field Account Specialist with a strong foundation in sterile processing, surgical instrumentation, and OR workflows who thrives in hands-on, relationship-driven environments.

What You’ll Do

Be the Bridge Between SPD & the OR

  • Partner closely with Sterile Processing, Central Services, and OR teams to optimize tray workflows and instrument readiness

  • Serve as the on-site expert for system utilization, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting

  • Manage trays and instruments including setup, audits, tracking, and OR readiness

Drive Utilization & Efficiency

  • Identify opportunities to improve tray management, turnaround times, and workflow efficiency

  • Monitor processing performance and provide actionable insights that reduce errors and delays

  • Support vendor tray optimization and redesign initiatives as needed

Train & Support Clinical Teams

  • Deliver hands-on training and in-services for SPD techs, scrub techs, and OR staff

  • Provide ongoing support and act as a trusted clinical resource

  • Ensure best practices are followed across departments

Build Relationships & Track Success

  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with SPD leaders, OR staff, and hospital stakeholders

  • Track key metrics such as setup time, utilization, and processing efficiency

  • Support quality initiatives, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement programs

What We’re Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years of experience in SPD, Central Services, Surgical Services, OR, or related clinical settings

  • Strong understanding of sterile processing workflows and tray/instrument management

  • Hands-on comfort with equipment and basic mechanical or technical troubleshooting

  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven

  • Strong communication skills with a customer-focused mindset

Preferred Backgrounds

  • SPD Supervisor or Manager

  • Orthopedic or Spine Certified Surgical Technologist

  • OR Liaison or OR Team Lead

  • Associate Medical Device Representative

  • Scrub Tech or candidates with orthopedic or technical device exposure

Education & Certifications

  • Associate’s degree preferred, not required

  • CRCST / CBSPD / CST certification preferred

  • Experience with quality systems or instrument tracking platforms is a plus

Why SPD & OR Professionals Love This Role

  • Your SPD expertise is the foundation - not an afterthought

  • Influence hospital-wide efficiency, not just one department

  • Stay hands-on and clinical, while gaining field-based autonomy

  • Work side-by-side with OR teams, leadership, and vendors

  • Grow your career without leaving healthcare

Work Environment

  • Hospital-based environments including SPD, ORs, and clinical spaces

  • Requires standing, walking, lifting trays/equipment, and prolonged movement

  • Flexible scheduling may be required to support clinical needs

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you’re an experienced SPD or OR professional ready to expand your impact, step into a role where your knowledge drives real operational change.

Apply today and bring sterile processing excellence to the field.
